Q: Is it more affordable to build or buy a house?

• <div><p>It is almost always more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buy an existing home than to build one from scratch</a>. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run. </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>

Q: What is the difference between a carriage house and a townhouse?

• <div><p>A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. </p></div>

Q: Are there sustainable options for building home additions?

• <div><p>Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.</p></div>

Wasn’t my choice to hire this company. New build home and they were contracted by our builder. Flooring/carpet under warranty and they will go to any lengths to NOT honor the warranty. Bryan would never return calls. If you got lucky and he answered the phone he would do whatever it takes to...
