"After dealing with frequent roof repairs, we finally decided on a complete replacement for our Livermore home. Avi kept us informed every step of the way, and the finished roof exceeded our expectations. It's made a noticeable difference during hot summer days."

"Who says a home renovation project can't be easy? Laguna Bay Developing made our new backyard patio a pleasure to install. They came and gave us a quote which was competitive with other quotes we got. They listed for us everything they would be doing and they did it all. Their people were friendly and professional. During an unbearable heat wave, Juan and his team arrived on time and did a beautiful job. I don't think we've ever worked with a company we're more pleased with."

"I recently hired Oz-Ari Construction for a garage conversion, and they did an outstanding job! From start to finish, their team was professional and attentive. They transformed my garage into a beautiful living space, completing the project on time and within budget. Communication was great, and they were always ready to address any concerns. I highly recommend Oz-Ari to anyone looking to do renovations!"

"Jose and his team are the ultimate professionals. I highly recommend Prestige Home Design. Our extensive remodel is now our dream home. Our remodel included increased square footage, new plumbing, electrical, HVAc, roof and windows. Jose brought lots of great ideas to us and kept all the subs on task."

"The person assigned to our project, a small room addition did not capture what we were looking for. She had errors in her drawings. If she would have reviewed her design drawing she would have seen that some of the layout did not make sense (i.e. not enough room for a certain cabinet, the counter top was not right) Her dimensions were off."

"I hired LA Expert Builders on ADU Garage Conversion. It wasn't a simple project, but Nir and his well organized crew made it simple as possible. Nir was very honest and he carefully listened my requests and did everything as I wanted. His team was very respectful to my home, they kept working area very clean and they were also very respectful to me and my family. The project went unexpectedly smooth with no issues and was finished ahead of schedule. I'm impressed how everything turned out, just perfect! Thank you Nir and thank you LA Expert Builders!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.
