"My mom loves greenery, so I decided to get some landscaping done outside her house. I called their professionals to inspect the area and suggest designs accordingly. Their team gave me such beautiful ideas entirely within my budget. My mom got super happy to see the entire landscaping done. It has become her favorite part of the house. I do not have the right words to thank you guys enough and suggest them to all."

"Sabato did an excellent job! I saw several contractors and was most impressed with him as he took photos of before the job, measured and asked many good questions. He managed to get the job done in just one day and was incredibly organised, gracious and respectful of our home by putting protective coverings on the floor and furniture. I highly recommend Strategic Operational Services!"

"360 Contracting did an awesome job installing shutters on the exterior of my home. The team showed up on time and was courteous/professional. I also found the price to be fair. I would recommend 360 for your general contracting needs!"

"Working with Helio is an incredible experience. He is always fair, honest and treats his customer with respect. Another thing I really like about him is his level of responsiveness, he will always return you call on the same day."

"He does wonderful work! I had work done in the past by this company and if anything in the future would come up that needs to be done, I will definitely hire them again. I had some siding and kitchen remodeling work done and they were fast, in and out, and made sure that they were on schedule. Their work is impeccable and done an amazing job. He’s a good guy and cleans up after his work. Not even a nail is left behind after the job is finished. He also checks in on me every few months to see how everything is holding up. I don’t see many people do that now a day. A+"

"We hired and worked with Rocco on two simultaneous bathroom renovations on the second floor of our house. (We were responsible for purchasing most materials, and Rocco and his team then worked with them.) While we did not vary the footprint, we did have them lower a few walls and replace them with glass in order to "open up" two rather claustrophobic shower stalls. We also installed new lighting and ventilation, along with replacing all of the existing fixtures. Working with Rocco and his son, Rocco Jr, was a lovely experience from start to finish. Rocco, Rocco Jr, and all of their subcontractors are exceedingly polite and professional and highly skilled. The tile work and custom glass for the showers were precise; the plumbing and electrical functions very well. The whole thing took about 8 weeks from start to finish, and we are very pleased with the results. Love our new bathrooms, and would not hesitate to use Rocco & team again! [Note: pictures were taken before glass was in, but give you a good idea of the look/craftsmanship.]"

"Malik at Al-Arsh Construction runs a very professional standard. His contracts are accurate, his prices are fair, and his ability to make the scope of the job efficient and cost saving were well communicated. I have utilized him twice for two major projects on my 150 year old home. You open up a wall and discover ten more repairs. But Malik was accurate in his estimates, and any change of orders were for additional work that I requested as I saw the project develop. His suggestions were based on common sense, and I was always comfortable going forward with any change of orders. Malik scheduled the work and came every day, on time and with the same skilled workers. He was on site often, and managed the work and workers' time very efficiently. The projects were done to perfection and detail and to contract. I like contracts. Malik was also very reasonable and was negotiable to labor costs when I wished to purchase materials myself. Like when I wanted to use a certain wallboard and frame. He is very much a Contractors', Contractor. I come from a family of old Italian contractors and they would be proud that I hired Malik to do the work.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

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.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
