"Instead of replacing our 15 year old deck, we decided to add a sunroom. Found DDR through the “Lexington” SubReddit and couldn’t be happier with the result. Here’s the quick breakdown of the process we went through (as far as I can tell, this is the typical flow of things): QUOTE/CONSULT: Submitted request for a quote on their website, was contacted next day by their office and scheduled a quote later that week. I should point out that they were very accommodating with this appointment—the gentleman (Mr. Painter if I recall) agreed to arrive around 5:30pm and stayed until 7:30pm. He took some measurements, and we discussed the details (size, design elements) of we were looking for. It was really helpful to look at all the pictures of other DDR projects that he had with him. He drew up the contract that evening and told us they’d love to do it if we wanted to move forward. We secured financing through our bank (instead of one of their lenders), so we asked for some time to get that set up, and they said no problem. DESIGNS AND PAPERWORK: One huge advantage of working with DDR was that they dealt directly with our HOA and the city inspectors. The DDR staff navigated those treacherous waters quickly and efficiently—other folks in our neighborhood decided to build an addition themselves and it took almost a year to get all the plans approved by HOA. Really glad we didn’t have to deal with that kind of headache. COMMUNICATION: Can’t stress enough how much the project managers communicate with you. We had Kyle as our PM and he was awesome! Before the project began, he called me up and we chatted for an hour about how the project would flow, expectations/timelines, etc… Given that everyone in the construction/remodeling business was dealing with material shortages, it was great to discuss the possible challenges of this project up front. In the end we were fortunate to have very little delay (had to wait on windows but wasn’t more than a few days). CLEARING OLD DECK: The tear down crew was very efficient and had the deck torn down and removed (with help from clean-up crew) in about a day and a half. CONSTRUCTION OF SUNROOM: The construction process is a bit of a blur—it all happened so fast! The framing of the room was done in what seemed like a day or two, and from there it was a matter of getting electricians in to wire the room and install PTAC unit, get the insulation poured and drywall put up, and then finally the windows and door installed. We chose a beadboard ceiling and they installed it perfectly. Start to finish was in the predicted range of 8-10 weeks (had to wait a few days for windows to show up). Was the crew at our house every day? No, but each day I got an email from Kyle at 7am saying “Hey, we will/will not be at your place today”, which was a nice heads up. MISCELLANEOUS: had a small landing porch and stairs built off of sunroom—DDR used screws instead of nails, which means we don’t have to worry about nail heads popping up in a few years (this was a major problem with the old deck); even though DDR doesn’t install flooring or paint additions, Kyle was kind enough to send me a list of pros he’s worked with before and someone off that list painted the new room for us; in terms of price, every addition will be different, but we priced several companies for this job and DDR was definitely the best offer because they had a solid reputation AND they were local (we didn’t want a national company who just gave everything to subcontractors). OVERALL IMPRESSION: this was our first home addition, and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. It looks great from the inside and the outside! We just had some family visiting from out of town and they spent almost the entire weekend in the sunroom because it is so nice. Final product was a 12x18 sunroom with side deck, landing, and stairs."

"Dan has done an excellent work laying a new tile in our dining room and kitchen. He had to replace several water damaged beams and worked in our crawl space to get the floor ready for new tile. He was very thorough and explained his work every step of the way. Dan has excellent work ethic, it shows in his work!!! Definitely recommend!!!"

"Potter House was very responsive, calling back and providing an upfront no-BS time estimate for when work could actually begin (if we had decided to use them). Due to the busy nature of their schedule, they weren't expecting to be able to begin work for at least three weeks but, knowing the nature of our problem, were willing to come by and provide an estimate. When the gentleman I was dealing with came over to look at our problem he was, once again, upfront about how long it would be before Potter House would be able to begin work. He was also quite knowledgeable and honest about the different aspects of work and sub-contracting that would be required to get done what we needed. All-in-all, I was very appreciative of not being strung along nor having to do my own follow-up. Though we didn't end up using them (since we needed to get the work started before they were available), I would not hesitate to call them up again for future work.

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.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

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.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
