Q: How do I make sure I hire a reliable home builder?

• <div><p>Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:</p><ul><li><p>How long do you expect the process to take?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>How much of the work will you subcontract?</p></li><li><p>Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?</p></li><li><p>How long is the builder&rsquo;s warranty you include with your work?</p></li><li><p>How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?</p></li><li><p>How much experience do you have?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a modular home?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/modular-home-cost.htm">cost to build a modular home</a> is around <b>$270,000</b>, and most modular homes total between <b>$180,000 and $360,000</b>. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:</p><ul><li><p>Number of bedrooms and bathrooms</p></li><li><p>Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling</p></li><li><p>Type of foundation</p></li><li><p>Utility connections</p></li><li><p>Cost of building permits</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should a home builder or contractor be licensed and insured?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; 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.</p></div>

Q: Is a structural engineer the same as a builder?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Why are houses built with crawl spaces?

• <div><p>The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They&rsquo;re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they&rsquo;re at less of a risk of freezing.</p></div>

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Brady is the best you'll ever find for home remodeling projects.
Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.

The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014. We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home. But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.
