We also specialize in trades such as: fencing, finish carpentry, framing, painting, tile work, and any repair work needed.

"When looking for a custom home builder in the Redding area I came across Hughes Construction. The one thing that made me call him was other reviews on how well Shane communicates. I can say that I have had a great experience with Shane and that of all the subs that I have contacted for my custom home Shane was the best communicator of them all. It’s nice to have a contractor that wants your business enough that they keep you up to date with where they are in the bidding process. If anyone reading this is having problems staying in the loop with their contractor I suggest you call Hughes construction. You won’t be disappointed."

"Slow. I was quoted a price apparently that didn’t include materials. He showed up unprepared to do the work and had to get materials. That took hours when he said 30 minutes. The guy is scatter brained."

Owned and operated, local contractor that specializes in electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, carpentry, flooring, custom closets, patio covers, remodels and more! I have been working in the construction industry for over 20 years. We work closely with our customers to provide excellent service. What can we build for you today?

"First let me say Thank you. My bathroom came out perfect. I replaced the 22 year old tub/shower to a shower, toilet, vanity, light fixtures, removed the medicine cabinet and making it a wall. I also had water damage to a wall that they repaired. I chose to buy my own parts, light fixtures, paint, shower, toilet, vanity, and flooring. They worked with me on what parts, size, and dimensions I would need. There was never a lack of communication either through phone call or text. Very easy to get a hold of and if I left a message a return call or text was quickly returned. They listened to what I wanted and stayed within my budget. The job was completed in the time they told me it would take, which I felt was timely. Everyone was very nice, friendly and respectful. They were upfront about everything, what I was quoted was on target, and no surprises at the end when it came time to pay. This was my first time having a remodel done and I got what I asked for. My experience was positive and when it comes time for the second bathroom and the house flooring to be done I will be using them again. I would highly recommend using Infinity Construction."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

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.

As long as you pull the appropriate permits to build your ADU, it will contribute to your property’s total livable square footage. This is even true for basement conversion ADUs despite the living area sitting below grade. Keep in mind that permanent improvements, especially those that add square footage, tend to increase your home value, which can affect your property taxes.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

The construction stage, which includes pouring the foundation, framing the structure or building the walls if you choose a concrete house, and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring, will almost always take the longest. The planning phase can take just as long if you’re building a custom home, but the finishing process, which includes painting, installing trim, and finishing the interior, will rarely take longer than the previous two phases.
