"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

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Modular homes can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.

Modular homes are more affordable than stick-built homes if you keep quality and square footage equal. The cost to build a home averages $323,000, while average modular home prices sit at {AvgCost}. If you’re looking for custom or luxury options, a traditional custom home costs $825,000, while a high-end modular home costs $600,000, on average.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.
