"I was impressed from the very first phone call with them. The office staff was knowledgeable and professional. They sent out someone to give an estimate within a day or so. That person was also knowledgeable and gave me options on how to approach the repair work, which i compared to another company that gave an estimate. I ended up liking the solutions better from JMR so I hired them.

The person they sent out was very customer-service oriented. He looked at what needed to be done and offered yet another solution that was over and above the ones I was given from the estimator. He showed me pictures and I really liked his solution. We had some rainy weather and he worked the best he could in between the rain. They were very agreeable, kept me in touch the whole time and completed the work as we agreed and I am completely satisfied. Sometimes you call a competent contractor that is the sole person who answers phones, does the work, etc. and say that they'll call you when they can since they're always on the job...This company has a full staff which makes the whole process very efficient. Their website is very informative and when they include a lot of helpful information in their estimates. This company seems to be very established and really knows what they're doing."

"Excellent company and excellent service. Everyone that came to work was always pleasant, knew what they were doing and did not cut corners. Always easy to get a hold of and would listen to my thoughts on the project. Together we would make decisions and they always were positive and very knowledgeable. Usually having construction in your home can be stressful, not with Bath Planet of Atlanta. I so appreciate their amazing job well done."

"This is the 3rd time we have used Weidmann.  They provide great design services on the front-end of the project, followed by strong project management and quality execution.  They recruit and retain high quality trades people who do consistently good work.
We are always impressed by the effort made to clean up the work site at the end of every day, which is very helpful if you are living in the house during the renovation as we were.
When things to wrong during the project, as they always will, Weidmann always responds quickly and makes it right.
Weidmann is a premium service provider.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

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 early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.
