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

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

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

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.
