Q: Are there energy-efficient options when building a cottage?

• <div><p>There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of building a house?

• <div><p>Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes. </p></div>

Q: Should a home builder or contractor be licensed and insured?

• <div><p>Yes, a home builder should have a builder&rsquo;s license and insurance. States have different requirements for builder&rsquo;s licensing and certifications. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review your local home builder licensing guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; badge. Angi Certified businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How far in advance should I start planning my home addition project?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.</p></div>
