"?????????? Absolutely Perfect Roof ? Couldn?t Be Happier! We had an incredible experience with this roofing company from start to finish. From the very first call to the final clean-up, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. I can't say enough about this company! We made the switch from tile to a stunning new composition roof, and the transformation is unbelievable. Not only does it look amazing?it also gives our home a fresh, modern look. The crew was punctual, respectful. They took the time to explain the process, answered all our questions, and kept the work area clean every step of the way. What really impressed us was the attention to detail. Every shingle was placed perfectly, the lines are clean, and the finish is flawless. You can tell they take great pride in their work, and it shows. Even our neighbors have commented on how great the new roof looks! They even worked out an inhouse payment plan with us!"

"We couldn?t be happier with our experience working with Trevor at Morgan Ridge Construction. Trevor built our pool house, which was completed in 2025, and the entire process, fro start to finish, wa outstanding. Trevor is incredibly professional, communicative, and detail-oriented. He always responded to emails and texts promptly and never once made us feel like our (many!) questions were a burden. He truly cares about doing things the right way and doesn?t rush through any part of the job. His attention to detail is exceptional?it honestly felt like he was building the project as if it were for his own home. He went above and beyond in every way: keeping the job site clean at all times, maintaining an organized workflow, and being very flexible in working around our schedule. That level of respect and consideration is rare and deeply appreciated. Not only is Trevor extremely skilled at what he does, but he was also a genuine pleasure to work with."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
