"Seth built a custom shed at our lake home in the fall of 2017. This was a challenging project since it was an unusual shape that had to be built next to a rock wall. Seth was creative and built a structure that looks like our home and is just what we had hoped for. I would recommend him highly."

"Ryan and his partner arrived on time and worked diligently to replace our old electric control panel in our home.  They worked non-stop for ten hours and at the end of the day we had a new control panel that was professionally installed by top notch craftsman.   You can tell they take pride in their work and I would recommend White Rhino Electric to anyone that needs electrical work performed in our around their home."

"Our only complaint about Metro Reconstruction was the length of time it took to start the job. However, it’s hard to fault a company whose popularity and good work actually created their wait list. Ben explained that several of his other stucco projects had hidden complications that delayed the start of our small job. But in the end, our patience was rewarded and we were very happy with the result. Here’s a brief recap. In late December 2015, six months after we signed the contract, Ben contacted us to let us know that our stucco repair was next in line. Our stucco was damaged from a rogue woodpecker and we were seeking a permanent (non-lethal) solution to the problem. In a just a week or so, Ben was at our house reviewing the job details and taking a stucco sample to match our color. Now all we had to do was wait for the weather to warm up and even that arrived right on cue. The work crew was efficient, professional and polite. Every evening they cleaned up the work site and kept the clutter to a minimum. Within a week the task was completely done and we are very glad that we waited."

"We called in the order and scheduled the time, however, when the technicians arrived, they did not have the scaffolding needed to reach the ceiling and had to reschedule. When they arrived the second time, they didn't have the platforms for the scaffolding and had to go purchase it from Home Depot. I assisted the two technicians in setting up the scaffolding and the install. I think they could have done it themselves, but if I helped, they would complete faster. The fan was VERY large, and they did a good job of removing the old one and installing the new one. Overall, very pleasant to work with, just could have been a bit more prepared. Reasonable rate with the Angie's list coupon."

"Excellent! Mr. Hood exceeded all expectations for the work we needed done. He was timely, organized and had the skills and experience to complete my job ahead of schedule.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

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.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
