"I feel very fortunate to have found Distinctive Design Remodeling at a home and garden show. A representative met with me immediately after I contacted them and spent the time to fully listen to my needs and expectations. We had met with several other builders and were very impressed by Jesse. His estimate was precise and included all aspects of the room addition project. Every one of the sub contractors did a superb job and Chris,the project manager, keep me informed every step of the way. I could not be more pleased with our new addition and would absolutely use DDR again and refer them to anyone looking for a remodeling company"

"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!!!"

"Very good craftsmanship. My home is beautiful and a quality build. The owner, Alec Goodrich was easy to work with and he had experienced sub contractors. We are very happy with our new home and building which is 40 x 60. I recommend him to build a custom home for anyone looking for a good contractor."

"We had an extensive project schedule, as I made quite a few design, materials and color changes and project additions throughout.  Concrete work was done first. The driveway, which was a disaster for many years and contributed to leakage back into the garage due to poor grading, is beautiful and functions perfectly.  I have no more problems with drainage.
The den is a great space now, and after changing my mind on colors for the walls and fireplace brick several times, it turned out wonderfully.
The bathroom and all the prep and remainder of the work took several months overall. If I had made my selections beforehand and stuck to them, the bathroom probably would have been done within a few weeks, The individual stages (demo, rough-in, plumbing and electric, installation, all were done quickly. Then we had to stop for me to make decisions and order stuff. My new bathroom is AWESOME. OK, so I changed my mind about 30 times, but I have to take a little credit as I came up with the layout myself. John helped me to work out the kinks and had many good suggestions. He had LOTS of patience!
I highly recommend John and his company, Dream Remodelers. He will help you through your remodeling angst and get the job done for a reasonable price. He really does care about what he does and the quality of the work. And he will stick with the job until it is completed! I can't tell you how important that is. John is easy to get hold of, communicates frequently and is there when he says he will be.
What's next? Another bathroom, a new deck...

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

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. 

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.
