"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!"

"Max Construction came in to do a complete bathroom remodel to include installing a tub where there was none. Max was very accessible and responsive in getting a quote and answering any questions we had throughout the process. His crew showed up promptly 8 a.m. every morning and worked very diligently throughout the days. They were very conscientious in their end of day clean up. Even though we had difficulties with our order at Home Depot, they had no problem making numerous trips to pick up our orders as they came in. The tile work is beautiful and everything came out as we envisioned. Max's price was one of the higher quotes we received, but in the long run we were very pleased with outcome and the bathroom looks fantastic."

"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+"

"This was our second time working with Valeria and Ed of Nova Design Build. They did a complete renovation of our Brooklyn coop apartment back in 2017, and we reached out to them again when we needed work done in our new house in Westchester in 2023. This time they tackled an insulation project in our garage and a beautiful master bathroom renovation. Their quotes are always competitive and reasonably accurate, and Ed has a knack for finding and solving the trouble-spots other contractors miss. Ed and Oscar were able to adapt to surprises in a complicated demo and an unexpected broken pipe, recycled antique wooden boards from demo into the new design, sourced local subcontractors when necessary, and worked seamlessly with our contacts as well. They’re also genuinely nice people who you won’t mind having in your house every day if you work from home, which is a nice bonus!"

"Rocco and his team at Landmark did an outstanding job throughout every phase of this project. We knew exactly where we were from both a timeline standpoint as well as with our budget. Having completed a major addition/home renovation in the past, the value of having a contractor like Rocco with Landmark Design that stays on top of every detail of the project on a daily basis was evident from the start. Landmark’s work was top level from start to finish. We highly recommend them."

"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.

"112 Home Improvement was recommended to me by my cousin.  They had remodeled his home and he was very happy.   We called John about a year before we wanted to begin.  We didn't even know exactly what we wanted.  He offered to come out and help us plan this project.  Once we figured out what we wanted to do John brought out his architect (Tom) and we started the process.  Plans, permits, surveys, variances the list is endless.  I am glad we did this well ahead of time.  Finally 9 months later (thanks town of brookhaven) we had everything needed to begin.  The work began in March and continued through June.  Everything went as good as can be expected.  There were some problems here and there but nothing that we were not prepared for.  In the end our home is beautiful.  We extended and remodeled our kitchen and created a great room, finished our basement, added a master bathroom, replaced our roof and our siding as well as added a deck.  My family and I could not be happier.  We absolutely love our home.  Thank you John and company!!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.
