"Great. Neil's crew did a fantastic job. They worked quickly and you could tell they were confident in their work. We had used DeWit Construction several years ago at another home (this was before the roofing section became it's own entity) to put on a new roof after damaged during high wind/hail storm and also to rebuild the underside of an upper deck which had not been correctly supported. We are already considering them for another project."

"Tim and his crews came to my home and replaced 2 large roofs and a hugh barn roof for me, they also trimmed all the trees around my property for a very fair price. I would highly recommend then for anyone in the the future!!! They do what they say in a timely and professional manner. I could jot tell other than my beautiful roofs they had ever been here. The cleanup was second none!!!! Thanks for the great job!!!"

"Blake is timely, accurate and a true professional. He stands by his work and I am impressed with the quality. The work did come out a little more expensive than the quote from our standard neighborhood deck builder. But I am glad I went with Maxey for sturdiness and quality, which stood out in his work"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Modular homes can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.
