Customers say: Quick response

"We had a great experience working with Mr. Maxey and his team on our deck project. From start to finish, Mr. Maxey was professional, responsive, and patient with all of our questions throughout the process. His communication and customer service really stood out and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. The crew that built the deck was efficient, detailed, and clearly took pride in their work. They paid attention to the craftsmanship, kept the project moving, and delivered a finished product that exceeded our expectations. The quality of the deck looks amazing, and you can tell the team genuinely cares about the work they do. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Maxey and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional builder."

"Removed and replaced strangely shaped custom shower door with beautiful new door. Responded promptly to my request for an estimate, gave a reasonable price, and installed the door earlier than promised. Had one minor issue with the seal, which Leonardo resolved promptly. Would definitely recommend.

"The electrician was parked in our driveway at 6:30 am! He was knocking on our door at 6:45. When I answered the door and told him it was only 6:45, he said that his truck said 7:00 and he doesn't go by the customer's time! I think 6:45 is too early for any service man to be knocking on the door. He was not able to fix or repair the door bell but he was able to identify any issues with electrical outlets. He made some negative comments about people from "third world" countries doing electrical work that resulted in him coming out and doing things right. Inappropriate comment."

"Adam built my house in 2021. It is a beautiful custom 3800 sq ft. home with two fire places, chef's kitchen and a kitchenette. on 10 acres of land. Adam is a professional and has a very good eye for details even I would miss at times. His team of sub contractors were also very professional and they all went above and beyond on the job site. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Adam and I would have him build my home again if the need ever arises."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

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.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

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.
