"We hired SAL Construction to build us a garage in Morton.
All I can say is WOW!!! Nice, polite, honest, clean, punctual?My husband found
them on Google and after visiting their website we decided to give them a call.
They did everything they said and did a beautiful job right on budget! I recommended
them to my sister who needed a tile floor installed in her kitchen. Scott did
an amazing job on the tile as well. My sister was so pleased?Her & I both
would recommend SAL to everyone. Job well done!

"Dan just finished a full basement renovation for us and we couldn't be more pleased with his work. Before meeting with Dan, our basement was a complete disaster from top to bottom. He came in and created a perfect floor plan to make our basement exactly what we needed. Everyone was always on time and Dan oversaw all of the work being done. For the quality of work, Daniel Henry Builders is very fairly price. He followed through with everything we discussed and exceeded our expectations! I couldn't find a vanity in the stores that I liked for our bathroom, Dan quickly offered to make a custom piece that is absolutely beautiful! His attention to detail and creativity added so much character to the design. From the first day meeting with Dan, my husband and I knew he was the guy for the job. He is very approachable and was very accommodating with any issues he had to work around. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend Daniel Henry Builders, they won't disappoint!"

"He was out of business because he had chosen to try another profession.  Two weeks ago he gave me a call and said he was back in business.  My brother has used him extensively and I've used him for several projects.  Now that he is back in business, I'm having him come back and do some projects for me.  His name is Daryl Fegatto.  I highly recommend him and in fact I have recommended him to others.  His license ensures free estimates, framing, roofing, siding, room additions, custom decks, trim carpentry and hardwood.  He did siding when my brother built his house.  He did my brother's basement and he may end up getting mine when that time comes.  He made my garage from 20 by 20 to 20 by 30 and he reroofed all that about eight years ago.  He has purchased some land, built homes and sold them.  He has a tendency to over build which we pay for but the projects he does is going to last.  He is not fly by night kind of operation."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.
