"After we returned home from our summer vacation out of town, we found that our master bath and bedroom had flooded due to rain and clogged plumbing. When I called the chief executor of Hometown Restoration, he replied quickly, provided a reasonable quotation, and started work straight away. We were delighted with the accuracy of the treatment of water, as well as the quickness through which his workers restored our master suite after insulation removal, flood cutting, and so on. Our home looked nicer than the original! Staff were professional, kind, and meticulous in their clean-up. I would refer Hometown Restoration to others!"

"Marcio did a great job on my steps. We encountered some unforeseen problems, but he took care of those items and completed the job above and beyond my expectations. This is the third project that he has done for my home, and I will continue to call on him when I need work done."

"K Crockett Designs are absolutely amazing. We are doing a major home renovation to a old home in the Garden District and needed a very experienced and knowledgeable structural engineer and architect. We found that in K Crockett Designs. I’ve worked with many engineers and architects on previous projects and Kennon was by far the best. I will continue to use K Crockett Designs on all my projects going forward. I really could not recommend him more."

"I was impressed with Mac Bros reviews to begin with and their work left nothing to be desired! From start to finish Daniel made this project a breeze. He followed up his thorough inspection with a detailed estimate and photos. Communication was clear and precise. Very professional! If I have another roof issue in the future I will be sure to contact Mac Bros first!"

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"I hired them to put new roof on my rental property in uptown New Orleans and needed it completed within one month (by the end of July 2021). I was concerned it might not get done in time due to the non-relenting daily rainstorms, but we eventually caught a break from the rain and Wade got the job done in two day and came in on time and on budget. The roof looks great and the workmen did a very good job of cleaning up afterwards. I have also looked into having them replace all the old wiring in this old apartment duplex and the person they sent over to give me a quote seemed very knowledgeable on just how to get it done in just a few days and to consolidate electrical boxes and wire runs so that looks better after than it does now.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building 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.
