"In late June we found out we needed to replace our deck due to structural issues. We were having a huge party on 7/7 so it had to be done. We met with the representative from Appelman and found him to be knowledgeable and helpful. We gave him our totally unrealistic time limit. He didn't promise to meet it and we appreciated his honesty. The bid presented was for labor only and we had to purchase the supplies on our own. Never having built anything we did have to struggle as we had no idea what or how many components we would need. Everything had to be special ordered as we were building a Trex deck. This also cost us time waiting for deliveries. The builders were amazing. They worked through storms and oppressive heat to try to complete the job for us. One of the workers actually suffered from heat exhaustion one day. The main builder was Steve Beck. I can't say enough about him. He not only worked through the heat and the thunderstorms, he stayed until 9PM a couple times and even gave up his Fourth of July to get the deck to a usable condition. He is old school and believes if a job is worth doing it should be done right. If you can get him to work on your project you are sure to be totally satisfied. The deck was completed yesterday, 8/18 but it was absolutely usable for the party. Steve Beck did a fantastic job. The only negative of our experience was this.....it is clearly stated on the bid that the final payment is not due until the job is completed to the customer's satisfaction. Several weeks before completion I was persuaded to submit the final check. I know, my fault. I gave the check based on the PROMISE that it would not be cashed until completion of the job. I even mentioned that if for some reason the check was going to be cashed early I needed to know so I could transfer funds into my checking account to cover it. I guess you see where this is going. The check was cashed without my knowledge. Fortunately I have a friend who works at my bank and I was advised that I was overdrawn by a couple thousand dollars. If not for her all of my payments for the month, insurance, utilities, credit cards, etc. would have bounced. I would recommend Appelman in the future because the work was top notch but I would recommend holding that final payment until the job is done."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

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.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
