"Good people and great work with the re-mulching of our property. Very conscientious. They trenched around the entire house, used quality mulch, and made the home look better than the work done three years ago where we had paid nearly twice the price to another company."

"Mandolin Rising Construction did a wonderful job remodeling our two bathrooms and replacing the kitchen floor. Torey and Dan are masters at floor and shower tile work, including herringbone patterns. Amazing to find a trustworthy, hardworking, honest company with an artistic flair!"

"Fritz was great to work with from start to finish! He was punctual, and extremely flexible with our moving-target schedule based on a whole house remodel. The finished product is just as described and anticipated. People actually comment on how good it looks - they offer a variety of base paint colors and then you can add colored chips in various combinations. We love the retro look!"

"The quality of the work was well done.  Greg and Adam are very responsive.  Adam does excellent work, and very fast once he had all the cabinets, etc.  The thing folks need to know is that it takes a very long time to get cabinets custom ordered and to get granite selected and cut.  Make sure you build this in.  Overall I think this project took too long to complete (over two months), but the overall final product was really great.

"We just purchased our first home, which we love for its historic character. So much of the original house was still in place when we moved in, including the windows. And while we loved them for their historic charm, they were in pretty terrible shape. We chose Legacy and they did a superb job installing the perfect windows that blended perfectly with the rest of our home. We would not have gone a different way with that selection."

"The deck is beautiful and Steve made some great suggestions on how to redo the railings and the suggestion was perfect. ?We are still waiting on the storm door. ?The job was supposed to start the first of June and it is almost the middle of November and we are still waiting on the storm door. ?It seems like whenever I call him, they act. ?When I called Steve the last time, I was told the storm door would be installed either on a Monday or Tuesday so my husband stayed home and no one came. ?Haven't heard anything since. ?I did pay him for everything but the storm door. ?I would just like the door installed and then promise not to bother him again. We ended up ordering our own storm door and will have someone else install it."

"Claudia and her team came to deep clean my home. I am not lying when I say that the home smells and looks brand new. They paid attention to every single detail in the home. I would 1000% recommend hiring them for your home! Value for money is incredible. Itâ  s nice knowing I found my permanent go to cleaning company in the area I can rely on. Seriously, Claudia, very thankful for the time you took on my home. Youâ  re the true MVP!!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

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.
