"I needed a repair done for a damaged roof, facia and under the eve due to squirrels moving in. I could not get anyone to commit let alone call me back. Jim from Allbuilt homes contacted me, made an appt to visit the house and offers to take on the repair along with the roof work. Not only was it done above and beyond, he noticed a couple other things that he repaired that we would have maeve seen. The repair on the roof was over 30ft high on a sloped hill. His team were on time, quick and even managed to color match the wood trim and under eve damage. This is our spring and summer home and it is refreshing knowing that there is finally a contractor who keeps his word and goes above and beyond when talking care of the customer. We will use Jim from Allbuilt for anything we need for our home and that of the families. Thanks you Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT WORK!"

Weather you have a working plan in hand or are starting with only a piece of bare ground, Dana Construction will assist you in design, budget and construction of the custom home. This type of home makes up the majority of our business and is quite frankly our specialty. The daily attention to detail both on the job and with the client is what make a custom home truly custom. \n \nMany of our clients are not in the local area during construction and through email, FaceBook and job site cameras we are able to involve them in the entire building process. \n \nLarge or small - if it a home just for you - then it is a Custom Home for Dana Construction and the team.

"They were very professional in their work and insured that the roof repair and snow roof extension was done to my satisfaction . They did an excellent job and made sure the site area was completely clean at the end of the project. Would not hesitate to hire them again for future projects."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

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.

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.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
