"We hired this company for a home addition and couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the whole project. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show in the final product. Our new space looks amazing and blends perfectly with the rest of our home. I would definitely recommend them"

"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."

"Hall's Home Improvements arrived on time while we were 10 minutes late. Upon entry, old door was removed with old frame to determine work needed for new pre-hung door.  New measurements and cuts were made in the  Oak studs, Aluminium siding was re-cut to new measurements etc. Not being a Carpenter, I cannot detail all steps needed  to install the new pre-hung door but it took  more time than usual working with the native oak.  Hall's even returned the Dead Lock(keying problem) to the local supplier I purchased it from for a replacement unit with no problems at all. The existing Storm Door was remeasured, cut and fits perfectly.  The new door assembly looks outstanding and works great!  I have more projects (3) that need doing and I will have Hall's Home Improvements complete them as their schedule allows.  I recommend this company with no reservations."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.
