"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 interviewed six solar companies and got bids from three. Charlie of Landmark construction & energy crew stood out much more above the other companies that I spoke and met with. He is responsive, always returned my calls quickly and he does what he says he is going to do. Charlie came over to my house and met with me before installation, during the installation and after. In addition he worked with his crew at the beginning of installation to make sure everything was perfect with a tricky area of my roofline. Above all of what I wrote above, Charlie and the office staff are very organized people. Charlie was able to provide me with a lot of information about rebates, taxes etc… and Every bit of information I could want related to monitoring my system, working with Landmark construction & energy crew, maximizing the cost benefits, and getting my tax rebate, are all gathered and clearly labelled in a binder. Charlie knew how to explain everything about solar and I could see during our meetings how much patient he have. Charlie didn't have to push anything in order to sell his work to me because his product was the one I wanted, it made sense, and the price was better than others. I can't think of a contractor and I've worked with quite a few once in the past and for this project, I met with several ones as well and Landmark construction & energy crew is more reliable, efficient, and customer-oriented. Thank you, Charlie!"

"We worked with the A2Z team on a renovation of our downstairs to convert a den space into a new bedroom/office with a full bathroom, our living room to make it a more open floor plan, and updated the electrical in the whole house. We began the project in January of this year and were able to move back in June with the project fully completed in July. The project manager we worked with was Meir and we would plan to meet weekly to review and discuss the progress of the project. The project did complete a little later than expected as there were a few setbacks and challenges that came up but Meir was always there to work with us to make sure we were happy with the work/solution for these setbacks and challenges. Meir always made himself available for a chat either by text, phone, or email. If there was something that needed my attention or an update following an inspection, Meir would notify me right away so I was kept informed of everything. After everything was completed, my wife and I were happy with the work at our home. When I am walking around my home, it feels like a brand new home and I forgot how it used to look. There were some bumps in the road during this project but now we enjoy being back in our home and had a super positive experience with Meir and A2Z. If you are looking to renovate/remodel your home/property, I would recommend reaching out to A2Z."

"Just finished a bathroom remodel with OC Builders and had a great experience with them, especially our project manager Evan. While there were slight things that needed to be changed during the project, Evan was always gracious and his team made the changes without hesitation. Great working with Evan and his team = )"

"Roy’s Builders helped turn my vision for my bathroom remodel into a reality. The quality of the shower tile, flooring and custom mirror/shower glass exceeded my expectations. The installation of the work is really well done and looks exactly as I had envisioned and communicated. The communication was excellent! My family and I are overall really happy with the quality that Roy delivered for the services with the bathroom remodel, all new hardwood flooring and painting in our home."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.
