"The first day that I met Andy I knew I would hire him. He's very pleasant, knoweldgeable and conscientious. His work far exceeded my expectations. They arrived on time, prepared the space to ensure it remained clean and left the work space in perfect condition. I will be hiring him again and I highly recommend North Point Builders!"

"Blue Ridge Builders completed my full basement remodel and I was very impressed with the company and the crew who worked on my project. Hiring them was a great idea because they provided quality service, professional customer service, and they showed up early to job sites. I enjoyed working with them and I recommend them to anyone looking to have major/minor home improvement projects done."

"It went very well. We needed to add safefty bars and a seat for our aging loved one so we decided to do a full bathroom remodel. Niko and his team were great. Price was reasonable and competitive to other quotes we had before starting. The majority of the job was done by Niko and Rick. Anthony assisted on the demo and Tio in the final touches (last day). Rick was there promptly each morning. Niko stayed late each day. They both work very well together. They give explanations and advice in what their doing to educate us while honoring our creative wishes. They value quality work instead of rushing the job. Niko makes sure he is there on site as well is respectful of our home and truly both nice contractors. It ran a little longer than planned; it happens in renovations. However, it was well worth it . Hiring for our next project and most likely all projects."

"Initial contact with the provider involved an unfortunate scheduling mixup, and I got stuck at home all morning waiting.  They switched 2 appointments, so I lost that morning.  Also, the notes on what needed to be done were not given over to the guys that showed up, which seems like bad communication.   ***However, once it was rescheduled, the guys that showed up (Dave and Lou, I think) were professional, friendly, and took care of everything in under the 2 hours I had.  Plus, they didn't just renail the board, they bought some heavy bolts and really secured it.  Will call these guys again, and gave them an A because of the work quality and the guys who showed up were terriffic, I'm hoping that the scheduling and communication parts are something this company works on.

"Jim Hunt and his team did an outstanding job.  We could not be more pleased.  His team arrived on time each morning and were clearly dedicated to their trade and dedicated to their customer.  They were receptive to our scheduling needs as we wanted to remain at home as long as possible during the floor job.  The floors were done in two phases as directed by us without question by Hunt and the floor company.  The floor company used by Hunt also gets and A for all categories.  The entire job was completed in a timely manner and the home was left neat and cleaner than we imagined it could be after a hardwood floor sand/refinish job.  And we are always very concerned with cleanliness when selecting contractors.  Price was fair for both the family room job and floors.  Hunt also made great suggestions to enhance final appearance.  Furthermore, upon arrival the first day, we added two relatively minor jobs and after hearing them stated he would not raise the price given at original estimate.  It is evident he prides himself in customer satisfaction.  I highly recommend him to any member reading these reviews.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.
