",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

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?
