"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"

"We had a great experience with John and the team at MSHS. They handled multiple projects for us in one visit, including replacing bathroom baseboards with PVC, repairing a soft spot in the floor, installing stair railings, fixing drywall, updating outlets, and sealing/caulking throughout. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly experienced. They worked quickly without cutting corners, and communication was excellent. We especially appreciated the attention to detail—they even took the time to get the right paint match so everything blended seamlessly. Everything looks clean, solid, and professionally done. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

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.

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.

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.
