"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

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.
