Customers say: Quality work

"This was a new garage with an art studio above. We had a limited budget and Jim stayed within it. He directed us to a good designer who drew up exactly what we wanted. The construction is solid and looks great. I recommend JMW Builders for any new construction projects."

"I recently hired Jim Dietz and his company Silver Lining to build an ADU on my property. Jim helped with a lot of the county requirements and roadblocks. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. He was very interactive and insisted on me walking through the project weekly to show me the progress. His guys were clean and worked hard. Now my neighbor wants to build and ADU and is probably going to hire Jim."

"I hired Babylon Builders to lay concrete along my driveway and to lay turf in my front yard. The men who came were friendly, and more than happy to answer any questions I had. They exceeded my expectations on when the job would start and finish. Ron kept in touch with me before and after the job. The customer satisfaction was fantastic. I would highly recommend to anyone."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.
