"Jonas replaced 2 doors for me on short notice as we are in the process of selling our house. Showed up right on time every time. The price was cheaper than the other estimate I received. Left no mess and the quality of the work was outstanding. I will definitely use Jonas again. Talented guy!"

"I was referred to Lee by my realtor. He and I looked over plans for the house making some minor adjustments to fit my needs. Construction began on schedule with no delays during construction . Lee kept me abreast during all phases of construction upon move-in. He and his crew were very professional thru out the build. I did have a few minor problems after moving in and Lee was notified and he responded immediately and the issues were resolved. I would recommend Potter Group Home for your building needs.

"We contracted Kentucky Home Improvement to work on our 1865 Italianate house; our projects included demolish and rebuild of a second floor deck with composite material, demolish and rebuild of an existing kitchen addition, modification a load bearing wall, and constructing a green roof on top of a detached garage. Mike Townsend and his crew were incredibly professional and friendly, and were able to finish our projects ahead of schedule; Mike was even willing to attend our meeting with the Historic Preservation Board when we presented our projects for approval. Our construction began after we purchased our home with a 203K loan; we were very pleased with the way Mike worked with us, and our mortgage broker, and HUD inspector to complete the process. Mike was always very prompt in responding to emails and texts and was open to any changes that we needed to make. He is reliable and starts when he says he is going to start. Even with a very cold winter, his crew was working non-stop to make sure our property was finished as quickly as possible. The crowning achievement with our relationship with Mike was the green roof. This engineering challenge required the removal of a gable roof on top of a detached 2-car garage, reinforcing the structure with steel I-beams, installing a drainage system, filling the space with soil and grass seed, building a pergola, building a horizontal privacy fence around the perimeter of the structure, building a bench, and adding electrical outlets. Mike turned what was originally a crazy idea, that turned into sketches and renderings, to reality and we are very pleased with the end result; this project added 250sqft of grass to an urban property that had none to begin with, and our dogs thoroughly enjoy having the extra green space. Mike also worked very well around any additional contractors that we needed to bring in (furnace went out unexpectedly and Duke had to upgrade our service and raise our service mast). Kentucky Home Improvement was certainly not the cheapest option, but the quality was well worth the price difference. We would highly recommend Mike Townsend to anyone looking for a contractor; our advice would be to make sure you have invested some time thinking through your plans, be open to professional opinion, and understand your budget."

"Evan was super to work with! I've had him working on multiple projects, from detailed new trim work to match in a 100+ year old house (that he blend perfectly I might add) to appliance work installing a boiler radiator, to fixing my garage bay doors, to laying tin on my addition roof, he has helped me a bunch and I'll hire him again in the future. Solid work, honest worker, really knows his industry!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

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.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits
