"Mike, Anna, and Johnny make a great team who I have enjoyed working with while making our custom home project come to life. Building a home is a stressful time, and there were a lot of curveballs thrown on our project through COVID, new PG&E rules and government regulations, and a law firm that took WAY longer than needed to draw up a utility easement with our neighbor. Every construction project is unique and will have its own issues pop up. Itâ s how the problems are handled that matters. MHB was honest and professional throughout the process, and you can tell they care about the ownerâ s satisfaction with the end product."

"It went great! The roofing work is excellent and it was efficiently completed in spite of weather issues. The owner is very easy to talk to and to work with. He was considerate of my schedules and worked around my conflicts. I've had many compliments from neighbors on the appearance of the new roof and even the building inspector was impressed with the quality of the work. I will call them again the next time I need a general contractor for a project."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you’ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.

Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around $20,000 or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn’t go with the DIY route unless you’re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you’re looking to eliminate your risk of error.

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.

Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It’s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well.
