"Granger Construction was referred by RJ's Seamless Gutters, who by the way I got from Angie's List.  By the way, I couldn't by more pleased with his gutters .  Back to Granger Construction ... He came to look over the work I wanted done so he could make an estimate.  I was very impressed by his professional appearance and presentation.  He returned in two days with a written, detailed bid.  I thought the bid was fair and accepted it.  I had planned to get another bid but didn't as I was impressed with Granger Const.  He did not disappoint me. Granger Construction is a licensed home builder and remodeler.  He was always prompt, courteous and went out of his way to make sure I was pleased.  I would recommend him to a friend or anyone needing remodeling done.

"They were great.  We are fixing up an OLD house to sell and there was noting square, nothing a standard size, yet they made it look like new.  They were there when they said they would be or sent a text well in advance.  They cleaned up all their mess, and did several little repairs we found after we had signed the contract.  Bottom-line, I would never look for anyone else now that I have found them!

"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."

"JMHK Homes did a wonderful job helping us renovate our home! 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!"

"Pancho and his crew have been excellent in every way. They have done our yard maintenance for several years and have been very reliable. They helped us clean up after Hurricane Sally in 2020 and replaced our wood privacy fence. Totally professional job! They even rebuilt the pump house for our irrigation pump. These guys are the best!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

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.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.
