"The crew did an amazing job on my home addition ! "The project was top notch. They always showed up on time, they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walk through multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great!" Everytime I asked for items to be touched up, someone was here the next day and was in and out. I know I can be a perfectionist, and they worked well with my OCD. They were recommended to us from our realtor, and the 1000 sq ft addition added more value to our home than we paid for the project ! We are very happy, and look forward to using them on our next home purchase."

"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!"

"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

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

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.
