"Team was fabulous to work with, hands down. My vision was to add more living space without adding square footage. Expert Home Builders made it happen. Walls were moved, doors rearranged, pocket door installed, custom shelving, new kitchen with extra seating, and new bathrooms came to life. I felt I was part of the Expert team. My vision and their high standards created my perfect place."

"We hired OC Builders Group to remodel our Master Bathroom. They are the best contractor we've ever worked with. Evan and his team are highly professional and turned our project into a gorgeous master Bathroom. Evan cares about how the project will look. He is engaged and helped us make some great decisions. We changed our minds about something in the middle and he and the team jumped through hoops to make it happen. We will never call anyone again for projects like this. If you want to work with the best in Orange county call OC Builders Group!"

"I would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a general contractor. He and his team did an excellent job remodeling my house and bathroom. They used high-quality materials and workmanship. I was also impressed with how clean they kept the worksite throughout the project. I would not hesitate to use them again"

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"Jayce was very thorough and gave plenty of pointers on how to keep our house mold free throughout the inspection. The results came fast, and Jayce also did a follow up to see how we were doing. We also had them come out after raw sewage flooded our house to make sure the everything was safe and up to code. Great service!"

"I am really impressed with the entire process of my kitchen design! Stephen really listened to me and implemented my style so perfectly! (As well as guiding me to make more functional decisions) I would definitely hire him again but I’m not trading my kitchen for anything! It’s timeless and absolutely perfect."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.

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

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

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.
