"It’s so nice when you find an electrician you can really trust. FC Electric has been out to my house multiple times, three of which were to research and fix problems with its very strange wiring. Everyone who has been out has been polite, courteous, and knowledgeable - they’ve always gotten the work done right the first time, and quickly too. They are the only electricians I call."

"We built our home in 2004, until you have to start replacing things on your home is when you find out the quality of work. 5 years in our A/C outdoor unit stopped working, when we got it fixed found out that what was installed was a refurbished unit not the new unit that was on our plans that we paid for. I did contact Hallmark homes at the time and only got that it was out of warranty and that we should have check when it was getting built. Who checks inside of an outdoor A/C unit. Next thing that happened was that the pipes froze in one of our bathrooms, when we took out the surround tub behind the tub were the duct work for the furnace was, actual trash was left inside the walls of our house. And we found no insulation between wall and the attic part of the garage, no wonder the pipes froze. This year we unfortunately got hit by a tornado with wind and hail damage to the outside of our house, yesterday they started pulling off the original siding and found there is no house wrap on our house! Not only that the OSB board have 1" to 2" gaps in them, you can see the inner drywall from between the gaps, meaning there is no insulation in the wall!! It now makes since over the past 19 years why our home has had so many drafts. We are now going to have to pay out of our pockets for the water damage caused by not having house wrap under the siding and fixing all the OSB board that are gapped. Unless you have time to be at you home while it is being built 24/7 do not contract with Hallmark Homes."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. 

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.

Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house’s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.

The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They’ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need permits for things like roof replacement and window replacement, depending on your local government.
