"­We are very happy with the new custom home Clean Edge built for us. True to their name, they provide a great attention to detail. The quality of the construction is very high, with solid materials and also an aesthetic on the finishing touches. You have to look very hard to find any imperfections, and then they correct those quickly. The owner is very focused on this approach, providing products and services a cut above the rest. This company is a rare find and I would not hesitate to engage them again any time."

"A.R.K. Specialty Service was a very professional family-run, business. From the start, they provided a very detailed quote for our custom-finished basement project and we valued their vast experience in recommendations of layout, design, and functionality of our space. The level of detail and input they sought from us was very much appreciated and we felt throughout the process their #1 goal was customer satisfaction and making sure we were extremely happy with the final result. The finished product blew us away. Our 1600 square feet of space was turned from a drab, cold, unfinished space into a beautiful custom bar, built-in cabinet large living room, 3/4 bathroom, bedroom, fitness room, and entertainment/game room. Our family will enjoy many years to come in this beautiful space A.R.K. Specialty Service created for us and we are extremely happy we chose them to build us the basement of our dreams!"

"I loved making one phone call and having them take care of the rest!! I had my gutters, siding, and roof all replaced hassle free. I was able to pick out what I wanted from the comfort of my home. Each crew came out and finished each job in 1 day! They cleaned up very well. Which was awesome since I have 4 small kids and 2 dogs who live outside! The owners actually came out as the house was being worked on and made sure everything was going as planned!"

"John and his team were fantastic. We were considering purchasing a home and found out it had a laundry list of city violations that would need to be corrected before we could move in. He and his team met with us on three separate occasions to walk through the property, look at the work that needed to be completed, and gave us several estimates for all the work. They were prompt, professional, and thorough, and took the time to answer all of our questions and create detailed estimates with different options for us. Unfortunately, it was just going to be too much money to fix the house and we ended up backing out of the purchase contract, but we will definitely call Fogarty Home Improvement first for any future need.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

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.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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.
