"Diamond Finish built a custom reception desk for my office as well as an accent wall. Both were completed and installed by them on time and communication was great. I get lots of compliments on things they built in my office. Great quality and would hire again."

"Chad Morrow contacted me after I requested a quote on Angi. He was very personable, professional and easy to work with. He provided a timely quote and only required a minimal down payment to secure a start date. His crew was very polite and did outstanding work. Chad visited the site twice during the week long project to make sure we were satisfied. I was impressed that Morrow Builders took the job as it was a relatively small project, though it did require demo, electrical, drywall, paint and carpentry. I highly recommend Morrow Builders as a trustworthy contractor that does excellent work."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

"He did a very nice job; they are very good and dependable people.  He is very professional and he has an office here at Metairie Road  and he has a cell phone so it is easy to get in touch with him either through the office or the phone.  They did very good work and workmanship was good.  It was kind of delayed to finish it because of the weather outside; he had some other business too, s lot of other customers.  Everything went well and I even had some additional work for him.  I had him do the patio.  He had to take the old patio out and put a new one in plus he took care of the hurricane damage.  He did a good job.  He picked up the patio bill from the refill people. He has two or three workers who actually did all the work.  Price seemed to be reasonable.  As for punctuality we had a lot of bad weather, they had to work around that."

"Service was performed well, and it was a good deal. However, due to weather, appointments were missed and had to be rescheduled. I have no problem with this, except the service provider did not make any effort to contact me to let me know. This means staying at home, waiting, only to have no one show up, and to get no response when I tried calling. I understand it's a business that is affected by weather, but that's no excuse for not contacting customers, promptly, so that the customer's time is not wasted. 



    There was also confusion with rescheduling (partly my fault), but my attempts to contact were not returned to provide clarification. I was left wondering if anyone would ever show up. In the end, I opted to give the provider the benefit of the doubt, but it shouldn't have been this difficult for such a basic service."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

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.

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.
