Q: What is a green home and what does it include?

• <div><p>A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption. </p></div>

Q: Can you frame a house by yourself?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buying or building a house</a> with the guidance of professionals.</p></div>

Q: What is the longest part of building a custom home?

• <div><p>The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">homebuilding budget</a> and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to move a house or build one?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that&rsquo;s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.</p></div>

Q: How long do shipping container homes last?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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. </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."

"I called the company to have them come and look at some shingles that were not laying correctly. Prior to their arrival, my daughter backed one of our vehicles into the side of the garage while pulling out, bending the track for the garage door and damaging the side of the garage (broke the 2x4, split the sheeting, etc.). Mike came out on a holiday because I am in the process of selling my home and needed to have the repairs made ASAP. He completed not only the roof repair, but replaced the side of the garage and straightened the garage door track., And, he cleaned up the garage when he was done. This company has been extremely responsive and Mike genuinely cares about his customers. He is friendly and caring and has been a pleasure to work with. Because of him, I think my house is sold and the family buying it is happy with the repairs completed."
