"

We wanted to remodel our newly purchased condo but didn't think we'd be able to afford all the projects we had in mind because of the limitations of our budget. A couple of local contractors in Gulf Shores had estimated a minimum cost of $40,000. We contacted Help-Around-the-House based on favorable Angie's List reviews and found that they more than live up to their great reputation. Dan Parks and his team worked closely with us from start to finish, not only helping us to stay within our budget but also coming up with ideas that were better than what we originally had in mind. All of the work was of high quality, yet it was done amazing fast.  We couldn't be more satisfied with the final result.  We definitely recommend Dan Parks and the Help-Around-the-House team to anyone who wants high quality work done at a fair price.

"Our front doors are cherry wood with mahogany finish with embedded leaded glass and they are 20 years old.  We must maintain the wood every spring.  However, with the amount of rain we had this spring/summer we had to wait.  It was time.  I found Allen on Angie's List.  We called him on a Saturday and were very impressed with his promptness in giving us a free estimate the next day (Sunday) as my husband & I work.  The next Saturday he came to spot test the door to match the stain.  
Two days later, Allen came and prepped the doors and stained.  The next day he applied finish.  On top of that, he corrected some splits in the wood from age and weathering.  The overall completion was perfect!  The doors look brand new!  We'd had done in the past by others, but nothing compares to the absolute perfection performed by Allen.  We highly recommend him. We will DEFINITELY use his services from now on.  Thank you, Allen, for a fantastic job!

"Ramos Builders Group did an outstanding job on our garage. They were prompt, courteous, and very skilled. They completed the job a day earlier that projected and even corrected poor quality work from the original home builder. They also bundled up all the garbage and hauled it away with no extra charge. Very happy with their work."

"Repairs to the chimney and roof where water had caused damage and replaced rotted fascia.  R & A Roofing had repaired problems with a roof at a prior home so I was aware of the exceptional work they do.  They respond immediately to provide an estimate and time-frame for  completion of the project.

"The deck came out great. It was priced fairly and completed at the time that the owner stated. I ended up hiring him back to fix an area of trim that was leaking into the house. Both of these got the ultimate test in Hurricane Sally and both held together nicely. I could not recommend more."

"Great! Blake is an acceptional carpenter and really knows all the little details of construction. My deck looks awesome. He was on time and within budget. Very satisfied and would highly recommend for any home improvement project you are considering."

Not only did he completely remodel two bathrooms and the kitchen, he also replaced flooring throughout the house, built a new patio deck, and assisted in painting the exterior. You can count on JMHK to provide stellar service that is completed thoroughly and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.
