"Joe, Abel, and Crew did an awesome job building our 28’x8’ Timbertech deck, 25’ elevated on a hillside. Joe worked closely with the Mill Valley permitting office to get the engineering plans approved, and once we got the green light the deck shot right up! We’re extremely happy we chose them to build the deck and would happily recommend for anyone looking at similar projects."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible team of contractors who undertook the task of fixing my popcorn ceiling. From start to finish, they demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication, leaving me thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with their work. I would like to share my positive experience with this outstanding crew and recommend them wholeheartedly. From the moment I contacted them, their customer service was exceptional. They were responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand my requirements and concerns. They patiently answered all my questions, providing detailed explanations of the process, materials used, and timeline involved. Their clear communication and transparency instilled confidence in me right from the beginning. When it came to the execution of the project, the contractors truly excelled. They arrived promptly and were well-prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated an incredible level of skill and craftsmanship. It was evident that they were highly experienced in working with popcorn ceilings, as they navigated the intricate textures and patterns with precision and finesse. Not only were the contractors technically proficient, but they also displayed a strong attention to detail. They ensured that every inch of the ceiling was meticulously repaired, leaving no traces of imperfections. The final result was nothing short of remarkable! My popcorn ceiling was transformed into a smooth, flawless surface that looked brand new. I could not be happier with the outcome. Furthermore, the contractors maintained a clean and organized workspace throughout the project. They took great care to protect my furniture, floors, and belongings from any dust or debris. After completing the repairs, they diligently cleaned up the area, leaving my home in pristine condition. Beyond their exceptional workmanship, the contractors exhibited a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. They consistently checked in with me to ensure that I was pleased with the progress and final result. They went above and beyond to accommodate any additional requests or adjustments I had, working tirelessly to deliver a finished product that exceeded my expectations. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the contractors who fixed my popcorn ceiling. Their professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. If you are in need of skilled contractors who can transform your popcorn ceiling into a flawless work of art, look no further. These contractors are the epitome of excellence, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them."

"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 = )"

"Team was fabulous to work with, hands down. My vision was to add more living space without adding square footage. Expert Home Builders made it happen. Walls were moved, doors rearranged, pocket door installed, custom shelving, new kitchen with extra seating, and new bathrooms came to life. I felt I was part of the Expert team. My vision and their high standards created my perfect place."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.
