"Although my family and I decided to stay within the family to have the work performed in our home, Lenny and Star Construction would have been the ideal source to have our home remodeled. His level and efficiency with communication is by far the best we have experienced. He is punctual, professional and beyond experienced. He provided photos of his work as well as complete and detailed information regarding our property and what could and could not be done. Star Construction is clearly a company that takes its customers very seriously.

"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 don’t usually leave reviews but I had to write one for Rightway Construction. Great prices and even better customer service. They did our master bathroom and completely remodel our floors. We couldn’t be happier. I will re-hire them in a heart beat."

"I had a wonderful experience working with Zahir and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. I always viewed home repairs, renovations, or even new constructions as a long, hectic, and quite confusing process, however Zahir guided me through every step. He led with care and my best interest in mind. He remained attentive to details and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Zahir worked diligently to ensure all my goals were met. Thank you for all the hard work and if I am ever in the market looking for further projects, I will definitely prefer to work with Zahir again."

Custom Home Builders questions, 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.

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

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
