"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"Quality product; Great Service; Great price. Its is said you can only ever have two of these qualities...not here! OUTSTANDING customer service! EXTREMELY talented carpenters! Friendly and helpful sales and service staff! They made the whole experience most enjoyable. We will be having them back on our next project! They
were very competatively priced and delivered an HGTV Magazine-quality deck for my family! No complaits whatsoever. Their care for the customer shows in the work they do, and the products they use! Definitely "The People's Choice"! I give 10 out of 5 stars! We truely feel blessed to have found a contractor we can trust.

"Excellent. John with Sullivan Home Interior Products was a breath of fresh air from previous experiences.He came in prepared and arrived punctually and completed all the work in the estimated time he had given me. The work area was as clean if not cleaner than when he arrived. I am so glad to find a company local that can provide these services. I will definitely be using him again and telling all my friends, family and neighbors"

"We had numerous seam repairs in our ceilings and then I wanted all the ceilings painted.
 The workman was meticulous about keeping everything as clean and dust free as possible.
All areas were shrouded in plastic sheeting and all floors were protected.
He arrived on time, and worked longer each day than I expected.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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.

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

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
