I am the type of person who is very attentive to the customers needs. I may be a few dollars more but that's because I figure out every detail down to the penny so there is no surprises in the end. Very well versed with the historical society when it comes to certain remodels. So attention to detail is important. A to Z here. Complete remodels to fix up jobs to new construction. Baths, kitchens and basements. Services offered are as follows. Remodels including whole house and partial. Painting to include whole house or room by room. Concrete services to include foundations, poured floors, driveways, driveway resurfaces, sidewalks, demolition of existing concrete, foundation repair and pads for sheds and outbuildings. We are an A to Z company. I show up with a cup of coffee to start the day and the work gets done, first time, on time, all the time.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

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.

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.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you’ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.
