",After interviewing several well-known custom builders (several of whom advertise "custom homes on your lot") we were fortunate to have been given the name Potter House Group.  The President of Potter House Group met with us personally and we presented him with a situation that other custom builders who wanted to charge us up to 50% more than Potter House Group. 
Our situation was that lightning struck our custom home and it had to be razed with the exception of the concrete foundation and garage floor. After an initial meeting to review our plans, site, special conditions and consideration for the level of input we desired, Lee calculated an estimate that was realistic, detailed and SIGNIFICANTLY less than the other big name builders we interviewed.
Rebuilding a new custom home in our Township involved a maze of obstacles and required significant expertise in dealing with permits, blueprints, township meetings, neighbors, rules and of course building inspections and sub-contractors.  Lee navigated all the obstacles with expertise and professionalism.
With the help of Potter House Group and its President, Lee M. Rickey, we moved into our home that met more than all of our requirements due to the knowledge and integrity of our builder.  No substandard materials or workmanship was allowed, the process was professionally monitored and we now have the home of our dreams without breaking the bank!
We highly recommend Potter House Group and Lee M. Rickey to anyone interested in honesty, timeliness, quality, professionalism and integrity. You cannot go wrong with Potter House Group and its owner Lee M. Rickey.

"Very happy with the results. We still get compliments on the driveway, the stamped concrete work in the backyard, and the amazing stone wall. The bathroom is a huge improvement over the old one. Charles and his crew are skilled and work very hard. In spite of the extensive work that was being done it wasn't at all intrusive having them here."

"They were great! Aaron handled flooring and Joseph handled painting. Both were extremely professional and did quality. I want to give an extra thumbs up to Aaron for coming through when it looked like the chips were down. He said he would make it happen and he was a man of his word. I had an offer on my house the next week and closed within a month. And it was due in no small part to these guys."

"Jason Crapo removed our outdoor French Doors and installed a new sliding glass door for us. He is incredibly friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and informative. He went above and beyond when we ran into issues with the size of the door that we purchased. The quality of this install was second to none and the finished product exhibits a degree of craftsmanship that is missing these days. The door looks beautiful and changed the whole look of our dining room and patio. We highly recommend Sick Homes Solutions and if I could give more stars, I would!"

"Madison FBC recently worked to improve the Eggleston Elementry building we use for ministry. Brandon and his crew did an amazing job tackling some of the larger projects our volunteers could not. He repaired a major leak and repaired several concrete walls within the building. He worked efficiently but also ensured the work was done right and it looks great. If I ever needed anything done at my house I would contact Madison Construction and Remodel."

"From beginning to the end, it was professional, pleasant, personable, and enjoyable. The basement turned out excellently, better than hoped for. It is now beautiful, functional, super quiet, and a joy to use. The workers became our friends and the project became their goal. We highly recommend Curt Lawson Properties, LLC for any projects you have."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

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.

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.

Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
