"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."

"Ask to work with Rafael, if you're in Seattle, he's a true professional. He takes pride in the relationship he builds with his customers and has a team that is meticulous and extremely fast. They came in and painted the exterior of my home and the quality of the team's service was nothing short of outstanding."

"Israel and his team were excellent. Israel is very responsive and his team was skilled and worked quick. We had a washer leak that caused damage to our laminate flooring. We decided to remove all the laminate flooring and tile, about 1000 sq ft, and replace with vinyl it was demoed in two days and the new vinyl and base boards done in another three. We had several change requests throughout the project and Israel and his guys adjusted quickly to what we needed. The workmanship is very good, his availability and communication is better than most contractors I've worked with and all within a reasonable price. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for home renovation work."

"I was referred to Roney at Babylon Builders by my realtor in the Bay Area. I am seeking some insight and advice on a property pending purchase. Roney was prompt in response and truly went above and beyond in answering my questions and explaining my various options. Thank you, Ron! I look forward to meeting with you and your team in the very near future."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

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.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

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.
