"The electrician did good work. However, I was charged for "parts" that I had on hand- electrical tape, etc. I had purchased everything needed for an install. Advice --tell them and any other contractor to ask you FIRST before they use parts. Again the work was good."

"This is my 2nd time using Donnie. Does a great job, even if something isnt exactly what I wanted, does what is needed to correct, so that its what I am looking for. Had a piece of siding replaced on the side of my house, did a good job, sanded, re-stained, and clear coat railings on from porch, everything turned out great. Had some new L shape shelving in my party added, and shelving over my washer and dryer, everything turned out great. Will be using his services again."

"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."

"They did a good job.  The quality of work was good.  They showed up on time.  They did a pretty quick easy job.  They replaced a board and needed the deck stained.  The guys were really honest and they said they focus more on the construction and they would have been happy to do it and gave me a quote and told me it would probably be cheaper to go with someone else.  I have one board is splitting a bit not sure if I will have to have it replaced or what but other than that it is fine."

"I had Alan McKay build a custom home. Tens years later, had him come in for major remodeling and updates. His work is impeccable, and his character and integrity is top notch. He does exactly what he says he will do, and handles any surprises with great communication and suggestions. No project is too big or too small. I will not let anyone else touch my home!"

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

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.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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
