"I have NEVER written a review before, but I don't want anyone else to go through what I am going through. OT Builders was supposed to complete a bathroom addition for me. They were very friendly, nice, great people... Within a couple days of me reaching out to them, They were very quick to look at my home to see what I was looking to have done and figure out an estimate. They wrote up the contract and came back out within a couple of days. The bath remodel was going to be $8,000. They took the $4,000 deposit (50%) on March 27, 2023.. I asked how soon they can get started, they said in a couple weeks, and then it shouldn't take more than a week or so to complete.. however I had to stay on top of them about the permits and stay on top of them about any updates on when we can start. 3 months later, still no work was started, just a lot of runarounds and excuses why.. I hit some hard times and asked for the deposit back in June 2023 and I no longer was going to do the bathroom. They said okay and will refund the deposit. Days, weeks, months went by, still no deposit refunded. I reached out several times, I kept getting the run around about when they will refund the money. After 3 more months, I let them know They have 10 days to refund the money or I am going to bring them to court... Dec 12, 2023 I filed the court paperwork.... They were ordered by the judge to refund the deposit by July 1, 2024... it's now September 4, 2024 and still no refund.. Still dealing with the court and trying to get my deposit back. DO NOT use OT Builders."

"Stay far away from Kevin Grace Builders. We hired him to renovate two full bathrooms. Things started out Ok but then he just disappeared. He stopped returning calls and texts. We had to involve a lawyer to sever the relationship. We hired another contractor and learned that a lot of the work was substandard. Do research on how many times he has been sued for similar before you consider hiring him."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Local zoning laws and building codes will determine whether you can build a guest house in your backyard. These laws may limit the potential location of the guest house on your lot or the size and look of the structure. If your lot isn’t large enough, you may not be able to build a guest house at all. Speaking with a local home addition company can help you learn about the local regulations and your other options, such as adding an ADU onto the main house.

An ADU is a section of your home that you can feasibly use to house guests or even tenants. Pool houses can be ADUs if they include a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom, but smaller pool houses and pool sheds are more for the homeowner to get more enjoyment out of their pool than for guests.

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.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

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.
