"Beyond four walls was originally hired to re-do my floors, which turned into gutting our house, reimagining the floor plan, remodeling two bathrooms, the kitchen and additional upgrades. The upgrades consisted of paint, insulation, a tankless hot water heater, pex water pipping, electrical outlets, lighting and the fuse box. We did so much I’m sure I’m missing things. Courtney and his family did all the work and we would hire them to do it again!"

"Beyond the 4 Walls Construction tore down my old shed and built a new one in its place. Courtney, the owner, did a great job in a timely manner. He gave me more storage space by building the shed taller and installing more shelves. After building the new shed, they did a fantastic job in remodeling my garage. The garage was completely insulated, drywalled, a new ceiling remodeled, windows reframed and the garage was completely painted. At the end of each the day, everything was cleaned up and when the projects were completed, all debris was removed. Courtney is courteous, professional and dependable. I am very happy with my garage and shed, and would recommend Beyond the 4 Walls to anyone looking to have some remodeling, painting, building or any related work done. E. Johnson"

"I am very pleased with my new floors. I bought my wood and baseboards separately and solicited several bids for installation and removal of the existing carpet. Mike's estimate was by FAR the most reasonable. We were in contact several times through Angie's list and he came out and said the initial quote he gave me was good (extra supplies and dumping the carpet etc. was extra as costs incurred).
Once we were able to coordinate schedules (my schedule was nuts and it this was a big job so he needed to block off a week for his crew). Ernesto and Gabriel showed up on time and after going over the details I let them get to work (I moved out of my place for the week). I checked in a couple of times to see the progress and the speed at which they got things done was remarkable. By Tuesday, the carpet was all gone and part of the floor was installed!
Mike contacted me by phone on Wednesday and said everything would be done by Friday at 4:00 p.m. (our originally agreed upon time). When I finally came home, not only did they do a nice job with the floors, but they did a nice job cleaning up. There wasn't nearly as much dust as I expected and they put the furniture back in the right spots.
After my initial inspection, I noticed a couple of things that needed to be finished and went over them with Mike during his walk through the following day (there were some job debris left over and a couple spots that needed painting/patching. Nothing serious, but Mike agreed to fix everything for no charge. We scheduled a time for a worker to come out and I even added a couple of other jobs at a discounted price (some additional drywall work and window caulking). My only disappointment is that I have to wait an extra week for the final repairs. This is mostly my fault for adding on extra jobs that will require a whole day at my house, otherwise they'd been done already.
Since I've hired Mike's crew again, you know I like them and I will use them in the future. The prices are excellent and his crew is very professional.

"Called in claim on 6/18; tech assigned on 6 /19; so far so good. Claim was for failed well pump with NO water to my home with two disabled seniors. Due to heavy workload and no extra pay on weekends the tech came for diagnostics 4 days later. He verified the failed pump and tried to purchase one at Home Depot. None in stock, had to be ordered. Pump came in on 6/30 and tech arrived today, 7/1, and expertly installed the new pump. Choice has a $ 500 limit on well repair, which is 1/3 of a typical bill. That dollar cap is riduculous. On a positive note, C-Force provides expert work for Choice and would be my choice for any future work."

"We purchased a new home that did not have a garage. We received several estimates to build a garage from the ground up, and Danley's Garage World impressed us most with their knowledge and responsiveness. Their estimate game out in the middle of three, and they were flexible and considerate of our needs. My husband, a contractor in his own right, was off during the time they built the garage and watched their work every step of the way. He was happy with the labor and the materials used. Our garage is exceedingly well made. The time from estimate to permit to foundation to construction was 7 weeks. That is amazing. One of the other two companies wasn't sure they were going to be able to complete the project in this season. Of course, with every big project there are minor hiccups along the way. I expected that. What I really appreciated that whenever I contacted our Danley Garage World representative, he responded within a few hours. In each and every instance, the issue was resolved to my satisfaction. We are really really happy with the outcome. Having done a great deal of research, we know the price was on target."

"No complaints about work ethic, quality of work, availability, or professionalism. The exterior siding, doors, and windows that Rutzen installed look just fine and the work is quality. Rutzen did a good job of explaining the surprises and change orders as the exterior project went along. I plan to use him again for the interior remodeling."

"Michael and his crew do outstanding work. Michael repaired all the corners in our house and did an outstanding job. He also rebuilt our wood fence with another wood fence. The craftsman ship was outstanding. Michael is very meticulous, so the work is always done to perfection. I would recommend him any day of the week."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.
