"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

"I selected this company because of the other postings on Angie's list.  Michael called back later the same day and apoligized for not calling back sooner.  He came out the next day, in the rain, to look at my roof and called me the next morning with the estimate and options.  He was very honest and up front abou the options and the cost.  Because my house is for sale, he made suggestions and discussed the pros and cons.  When he found out I had an open house scheduled the next day, he rearranged some things and called back to say he could do if later in the day and have everything ready for the open house.  And then he had to work in the rain to get it done.  Mike went above and beyond being when he and his crew helped my son load furniture into both my son's and his truck and he actually helped move some things to our new house because it was on his way home!  Michael is a very personable and caring person and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is willing to go the extra mile and get things done professionally and timely.  This was a wonderful experience for me and Iam very pleased with the results.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

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.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.
