Crawford Gordon & Associates

"Bell Mechanical installed an undersized 1.5-3 ton evaporator coil in my home, built in 2021, for a system requiring 4-5 tons. This mismatch led to premature system failure, confirmed by independent HVAC experts, and caused my young son to fall ill, as verified by his pediatrician. The poor installation may cause irreparable damage to the entire HVAC system, potentially costing tens of thousands in repairs, and could devalue my home. Despite this, Bell Mechanical offered only a $300 refund following public complaints, which would only cover the fee they charged to identify the issue I had already reported. Shockingly, the technician placed a big black knife on my kitchen table just before demanding the $300 payment. They misleadingly suggest that only their service maintains warranty validity, while any licensed technician can do so. Their deceptive practices and lack of accountability are unacceptable. Avoid Bell Mechanical at all costs to protect your health, finances, and property."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house’s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.

The number of rooms a guest house should have really depends on your needs. A small guest house might only need one bedroom, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. Larger units may have multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. Your local building codes may limit the number of rooms or square footage you can have in a guest house.

A carriage house combines garage or storage space with living space, usually in two stories, while a garage generally does not offer any living space. Carriage houses are built with plumbing, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, which are usually features not found in traditional garages. Building codes and insurance requirements greatly differ between the two types of structures, and may make it difficult to convert a garage to a carriage house.
