"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"Nucave Construction remodeled my house and it looks great. They did roofing, flooring, interior and exterior paint, windows, wood repair/replacememt, lighting, cabinets and lots of handyman type of things for me. The crew always showed up on time and worked hard all day. Everyone speaks fluent English and are very cordial and professional. Ryan, the owner is very knowledgeable and has quite the eye for design. A custom closet with drawers was built in a room that had none and you would never know it wasn't originally built with the house. Based on Nucave's professionalism, attention to detail and fair pricing I would highly recommend them for your home project."

"I canâ t recommended Petra enough. As a first time home owner, dealing with renovations for the first time is stressful. Petra made it a smooth, transparent and even a fun process. Everything from design, ideation, cost considerations to execution was professionally and personally managed. The workers themselves were very polite and professional and also left everything clean â like newâ when they left. Overall our bathroom remodel was successful and I will definitely hire them again."

"I can’t say enough good things about Jake and his construction company. He recently completed an addition on our home, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jake was professional, dependable, knowledgeable, and took a lot of pride in his work. He kept us informed throughout the project, paid attention to the details, and made sure everything was done right instead of cutting corners. The quality of the finished addition exceeded our expectations and looks like it was always meant to be part of the house. It’s hard to find a contractor you can truly trust, but Jake is one of them. He showed up, followed through on what he promised, and treated our home with respect. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I would recommend Jake and his company without hesitation to anyone looking for quality construction work. Five stars all the way — we would absolutely hire him again!"

"I first needed a roofing consultation for a polycarbonate roof. The roofers suggested I talk to Brian Thomas Consulting. He said Thomas was an honest, hard working, and fair priced contractor. Thomas came out to bid the project. His bid was fair. I found Thomas to be honest and completed the job in a highly satisfactory manner. I was so impressed with Thomas' work, I had him bid on a kitchen remodel. Thomas was involved from the beginning. He was complete, honest, and forthright. Thomas was cooperative, flexible, knowledgeable, and insightful. The remodel is nearly done. He has been timely and stuck to his schedule from the beginning. He has requested the proper monies and it is explained to the last dime where the money went and why. Thomas is not cheap but his prices are fair, honest, and billing is complete with no hidden surprises. To date his crews are experienced and do quality work. The remodel was extensive involving two different types of granite, cabinetry and tile work. His work area is always clean and neat."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
