We want you to be our next raving reference.

"Do not use these guys. If you read the reviews the last few years they have gone down hill. We started this project 03/2020. I had to request that they stop working on my project 05/2021. They made several submittals to the city of Rancho Cucamonga starting off with the wrong department, and every submittal has been marked incomplete and incorrect. The city has rejected each submittal. Before you even think of using this firm contact the California Architecture Board (CAB). There is a formal investigation into incompetence and violations from this firm. Over a year and close to $20K and i have nothing except an incomplete error filled job package that the city can not use. And now he wants another $16k to close the job. They can not even keep track of payments that have been made to their firm. Dale claims the project is 90% complete, what was submitted was 50% short of the requirements. If I were to pay the $16k I would be paying him more than the contracted price of a completed project. He has even threatened to put a lien on my property. Do your homework, read all of the reviews, contact me through yelp if you have an hour or two to hear of all the issues i have had with this guy. Contact the board. But Run, Run, Run away."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

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.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
