"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"I worked with Sam as he designed and remodeled our kitchen. He is very professional and skilled and is able to communicate in order to make my vision as a reality. He also brought excellent solutions and ideas to get the maximum money for the space. The remodeling process took close to 2 months but it was very worth it. He guided me through the design, color selections, finished hardware and improvement. His ability to make the cabinet arrangement I wanted on his computer then have it come out even better as it was on the plans is stuning. The remodeling process was performed with extra care and skills and I got flawless cabinetry. The high quality of the cabinets is also beyond my expectations. Cielo Construction is very hands-on and responsive. Our remodeling project was to remodel the kitchen, laundry room and 3 bathrooms and they are all gorgeous."

"Positive experience working with Structural Prime Builder. Workers arrived earlier than expected time and got right to work. They cleaned up all debris after the work was completed. They did an exceptional job and I am very pleased with the finished product. I would definitely recommend Jose and his workers."

"I was selling my townhouse and the roof came up during the home inspection. I called several companies and received comparable quotes from each, but decided to go with Ocean Seven Builders. I'm glad I did. Jimmy, who estimated the job for me, was knowledgeable and gave me an approximate time frame for completion (1-2 weeks). This was an important aspect since closing was scheduled to happen in 3 weeks. After I put down my 1/3 deposit, they ended up having am opening in the schedule and were able to replace the roof within a week's time. The work took less than a day and the crew worked well. They took pictures and provided me with the invoice & warranty documentation I needed for closing. Invoicing and everything else behind the scenes was handled via email with the office manager. He was also very pleasant to work with and provided great customer service when I need the additional documents/info for settlement. Overall, the quality of work and customer service was exceptional. If in the future, my new home needs some roofing work, I would happily use Ocean Seven Builders again."

"I used Just Do It Builders to paint a small bedroom, repair a leak in my shower, repair an outside leak, replace a window screen, and clean a shower drain. All the technicians I dealt with were extremely professional and did a wonderful job.  The shower leak especially was difficult to repair and took longer than anticipated, but they put in the extra time to ensure it was repaired properly and brought in a plumber when he was unsure how to proceed.  I trusted him enough to give him a key to work while I was not at home.  The crew was also very clean.  They even sent a technician back in the evening to show me and explain the detail of what he had done.  I will definitely use Just Do It Builders again!

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.
