"David was kind, detail oriented and able to complete installation of new shower enclosure despite the many problems our old house dealt him. He communicated effectively and was able to explain what needed to be done and do it. We are very pleased with the end result and saving up money to have him back."

"Wonderful people all around. Cody worked diligently to remove the fire damage as well as the water in my basement. His pricing was more than reasonable and he worked with me through every step in the process. Any questions I had, he was quick to respond and put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using him in the future on other home renovations!"

"Leonardo the owner came out promptly to measure and quote, was straightforward about the scope of the job and made suggestions to reduce the cost. A couple of days’ delay on the install timing but Leonardo was communicative and honest. When the installers came it took less time than expected, looks great and the quality seems very good. We’ll see in a year after some use, however I expect it will be just as solid then. No issues with our dogs being in the house. Once the crew got to work, they paid no mind to each other. Had another quote as well and Dreamworks’ pricing was lower. Personal service, good pricing and quality product."

"The installation went very smooth and John was very friendly and professional and answered all my questions respectively. He is a master electrician. I rehired him to come back and finish the outlet upgrades to the remaining rooms to a very old house in my renovation project through Angie Lists coupon promotions. I will use Irish Electric in future on my other rental or primary residence properties. I highly recommend."

"It went great, Tomas made sure I understood exactly what I was paying for and you could tell he knew what he was doing. My house feels so much more open now with that wall gone; I can't wait to finish all my updates and show off my my new space. I need a new fence also so I will definitely be calling RA again."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?
