"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

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.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. 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:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

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.
