"If I could rate him 0 stars, I would. I highly, do not recommend him. The contractors we interviewed for our renovation all agreed individually the plans were of no use to them, inaccurate and an incomplete set of plans. We lost a lot of money and had to start all over again. He is overpriced and unprofessional - his measurements and layout of plans provided were incorrect and completely lacked basic details. He did not fulfill the work and deliverables that he committed and outlined in the signed contract. When I discussed the contractors feedback and all my disappointments with him, he argued, was unprofessional and abruptly hung up on me."

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

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.
