"After countless estimates and proposals from other contractors, I met with Rich and walked him through the extensive work that had to be done to the foreclosure my husband and I purchased in March of 2014. Rich was the only contractor that came back with a detailed list of all the jobs as well as itemized pricing per job at a very reasonable price. Because of the significant work that had to be done to the house - Rich worked on the house between May 2014-October 2014. (we recently re-hired him to come back and build a wooden walkway for outside the house which he is working on as I type this.) Richs dedication to his craft as well as his solid work ethic impressed many of my neighbors whom contracted him out for their own home projects as well as my parents who hired them to do work on their house. No job is too big or too small for Rich to handle. As long as he has his coffee and water throughout the day - he will work from sun up to sun down! I highly recommend Right Choice Remodel for all of your home improvement needs!

"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."

"My initial impression of the company was positive and remained so throughout the project. He was very thorough with the prices and even suggested certain colors that would flow well with my property. He was always on time and his employees were professional. Thank you Christian! Highly recommend"

"Kris remodeled 2 bathrooms and a living room in a house we were trying to sell. We had no offers before the remodel, and it sold quickly after the work he did. One of the bathrooms was a complete tear-down, replacing the walls, wainscoting, fixtures, floor and everything. He did a very good job, and we never could have sold the house without his work."

"All of the work done was excellent, we found the pricing to be fair & reasonable, Chuck & Shawn know their business & it's apparent in the quality of their work. The work crew was a joy & as I'm around it makes a difference. Also recently hired again for a major kitchen & porch remodel & wouldn't consider hiring any one else, trustworthy, honest & professional"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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.

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.

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.
