"Elite Construction did a great job with our home remodel! We did a large scale overhaul of an older 1970s home that had been neglected and it looks like a brand new house. Sergey's crew completed the job on schedule and within budget, which is definitely not always the case when tackling large projects like this. In our particular area, it is sometimes difficult to even get contractors to return phone calls but Sergey was always very prompt to answer any questions and address any concerns we had from beginning to end. We would not hesitate to hire Elite Construction again for future projects we're planning."

"If yu need help with potential rain water issues coming this winter, you won't go wrong using Black Pearl. I needed grating of the driveway since it was higher than the house causing water to drain toward the house! Mike fixed the issue, dug out the excess, layed pipe to divert water to the lower back yard and then restored the gravel driveway to its formal glory. Neat, clean and spectacular work! Mike and his team were super accommodating, speedy, but thorough, and always professional."

"Very professional and knowledgeable. All of the workers, from electrician, tile installers, cabinet installers to floor installers were very friendly and answered our questions. Martin and Tia stayed in touch with us letting us know who and when workers would be at our home. Would use them again for any remodeling we want done"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

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.

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.

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
