"I asked Shed Doctors for a quote to build an large outdoor structure. John responded quickly. In looking at the project closely, it was determined to not be a good fit. Rather than try to bid and take on the project anyway, John was upfront and honest. While this project didn't happen, I will definitely reach out to Shed Doctors in the future for any projects that I believe could align."

"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."

"I had several significant issues with my home that required a lot of work both inside and outside to address. Nu Look Home Service was tremendously helpful through all steps of the process. All their staff were professional, friendly, accessible, patient, and generous with their time to explain to me what they were going to, how they were going to do it, and why. Their workmanship and attention to detail was phenomenal."

"The owner Mr. Eisele returned my call promptly and actually came by the next day for the estimates.  He was most helpful as we were replacing a sidewalk that had drainage problems and gave several suggestions to help fix the problem.  He also helped design the new sidewalk which surrounds a condo mailbox area. 

Once the bid was in, which we considered reasonable, they came out within a week and did the work.  As it turned out the project was much more difficult than anticipated and the company actually ended up with 4-6 workers here for one and half days on and off.  It was also very hot.  So the price really ended up a bargain.

We ended up with several small additional projects concerning the drainage issue and the owner was most accommodating even going himself to the hardware to purchase the extra materials needed. 

The end result is wonderful.  I cannot remember working with a more professional crew and it was obvious that Mr. Eisele is a great guy as well as an expert in the field.  It was a very enjoyable experience and would hire them again."

"It went great! Charles was easy to get a hold of and was able to get me scheduled right away. Both the owner and his helper were very knowledgable and creative when it came to troubleshooting my projects. He helped me fix a door that wasn't shutting properly and he also helped me with my hardwood flooring project. They helped me find a solution that was not only simple but saved me money too. Charles also had a lot of creative ideas for other projects around my home which I appreciate and is something you don't see everyday in a contractor. They were very personable and won't hesitate to use them again in the future. I highly recommed Charles and his team. They were awesome!

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.
