"What a easy way to get your home remodeling projects done. Bronson walked us through the entire process and timeline. It was such a great experience from start to finish. I never felt like other parts of my house were a complete mess with construction. The budget we agreed on was met. Bronson is extremely friendly and communicates great until the project is finished. Thank you again!!"

"My client relationship with B&H Specialty Construction commenced when I hired David and his exceptional team for an opulent bathroom remodel following the devastation of Hurricane Ian. After an unfortunate termination of my previous contractor due to exorbitant pricing, I found solace in the expertise and value of B&H. Their cadre of skilled tradesmen exemplifies integrity and time-honored values, qualities for which I am profoundly grateful. From the outset, their work crews have consistently arrived punctually, infused with positive energy while they demonstrated kindness and respect for my property, pets, and family. They adeptly navigated challenges such as deteriorated flooring and termite damage with remarkable professionalism, providing timely, evidence-based solutions while minimizing additional costs. Their superior communication skills have proven invaluable; they consistently present clear, straightforward options, delineating the pros and cons of each. As a woman who has occasionally altered her vision during projects, B&H has managed my requests with exceptional flexibility and understanding. Their unwavering commitment to delivering meticulous craftsmanship is evident, which is why I have entrusted them with numerous projects across multiple properties, including: - Lavish bathroom remodel - Structural foundation stabilization and reconstruction of a pier construction, bayfront Sarasota, FL home - Conversion of a single bathroom into two distinct bathrooms - Comprehensive kitchen demolition and remodel, encompassing exterior wall reframing and siding replacement - Tailored cabinet, countertop, and backsplash design and installation - Installation of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and tile flooring - Bespoke bayfront window design and installation - Interior framing, drywall, painting, and installation of modern baseboards - Custom tongue and groove vaulted ceiling installation - Design and construction of an elegant front porch and steps - Driveway paver design and installation, pool cage, exterior patio, and expanded pool deck - Installation of quality exterior doors - Fireplace renovation - Construction of an interior laundry room from garage space - Comprehensive plumbing replacement - Electrical rewiring - Installation of new rain gutters - French drain system design and implementation, effectively preventing interior water intrusion during Hurricane Helene - Rip-Rap seawall construction and property grading with construction fill I confidently endorse B&H Specialty Construction to my friends, colleagues, and neighbors, assured they will be thoroughly impressed with the service and the substantial value added to their properties by selecting these reputable, local, contractors. I look forward to booking more projects with them this year."

"Very Happy with choosing Golden Temple Builders for my construction needs. Nick the owner was very professional and clearly explained the stages of the project and was able to work with the pricing points that I could commit to. His team went above and beyond my expectations, and job was completed even well before promised. Would Highly Recommend!!!! 10/10"

"I highly recommend Greg Luebbe and Total Home Roofing. We loved our neighbor's new roof and inquired with her to find out who did the work. She said Total Home Roofing did two of her three daycare buildings. She said Greg Luebbe was her salesman. Greg came over to the house and was very nice and helpful. He not only gave us a thorough presentation, and a great price, he got up on our steep roof and tarped over the missing shingles to prevent leaking until they could install the roof. The roof was installed exactly one week after he sold us. My husband and I are very pleased with the whole experience!"

"I submitted drawings of the garage I wanted built and in a very short time, the plans were ready and approved. AMSCO builders was very efficient in the construction of my garage, even during the rainy month of May here in Central Florida. The unusually wet month presented some problems, but the excellent crew from AMSCO worked tirelessly to finish on schedule. The quality of the building and the workmanship throughout the structure is excellent. Ryan Simmons was upfront with all the expenses and costs and at the final draw, our numbers were exactly as promised. I would recommend AMSCO to anyone considering a new garage."

"Went wonderful! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Joe is a perfect professional. He was punctual on the sales call, and spent tons of time with us. We never felt rushed on decisions. He got the custom cabinets made in a really reasonable timeframe and was at our place working the day they arrived. He took his time to get everything right and we are blow away by our new outdoor area. We can't stop staring at it!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.
