"We needed a skylight installed in our bathroom, and MMP did an excellent job--we are very happy with it! The team was friendly and worked quickly and efficiently to get it done before it got dark, and the quality of their work was excellent. Matt was very friendly and nice to communicate with as well, and always responded right away. I highly recommend MMP Construction to anyone looking for great quality work and excellent customer service."

"I needed most of the inside of my home painted, with the exception of one bedroom, which I had recently painted myself. I'm not young anymore and also didn't have the time to tackle such a large project. My house is huge and over 100 years old. I had the business card for Finish Master Painting and Refinishing in my wallet for the longest time...I don't even remember where I picked it up. I gave them a call and Claudio (the owner of the company) came over and gave a very reasonable estimate. He and his staff finished the painting job and also replaced five of my old, drafty windows in just a few days as promised. The workmanship was excellent! I thought I did such a professional job on the one bedroom I had painted, but when I saw their work, I realized that I'm just an amateur. And no more drafty windows! I couldn't be more pleased. One of the many things that impressed me was the minimal disruption. I think that was one of the reasons I put off having work done for so long. I expected a mess; people and things in the way, lots of noise. But that didn't happen. I was actually still able to comfortably live in my house while they transformed it. Hey, that's a pretty neat trick! They were like home construction magicians. I highly recommend Finish Master Painting and Refinishing, and won't hesitate to call them again should the need arise."

"I am a Realtor and have used many contractors in past projects on my properties and for my client's properties.  Found Scott at the TOP for Professionalism, Reasonable pricing, Finishing on time and most of all QUALITY. Our Insurance required higher porches on our 3 Family and we were left with a very tight time frame. Scott chose to use white against our light gray vinyl siding that matched our window and post trims making the added height a border that blends in and is now just part of the original house.  Work is superb and above and beyond the result expected.  Finished work added style to our property which always helps property value."

"We ran into an "oh crap" situation during the Holiday.  My husband planned to install an exterior door.  This is something he had done before at our other house.  We encountered numerous unexpected things such as having the vinyl siding screwed into the door frame!  The 2 hour job had become a 4 hour job and to make matters worst my husband was called into work.  I was left home alone with a door partially installed.  I searched Angies' list and made a few calls.  Being a Holiday I wasn't sure if I'd reach a person or not.  Mr. Conway called me back and explained that he was currently on job but would call me later in the day to see if how I was making out.  In the mean time a relative of a friend offered to stop by and complete the job for us. But as promised Mr. Conway called once he was done with his scheduled job.    He offered to stop by and secure the door to at least get us through the night and then he could stop by in the morning.   But as we were talking my friend's brother in-law arrived and began working on the door.  When I explained what was happening Mr. Conway told me to give him a call if we ran into trouble and he would stop by to secure the door for the night. 
His professionalism and concern meant a lot to us.  We are planning on doing some more work this spring and Mr. Conway is the one we'll be calling first!!!!

"Platinum Carpentry was great to work with. The owner Dean is a very nice guy and easy to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding. We were out of town when the project was scheduled to start and Dean kept us updated on the progress and a few delays that were encountered due to weather, etc. We are very pleased with how the deck turned out and we would not hesitate to hire Dean and his crew again for future projects."

"Bill and his team were nothing short of outstanding. Excellent communicator and overall nicest, honest  professional you can meet. From Day 1, Bill was 100% customer service-oriented and ethical. However, the completed  work was also of quality workmanship. He managed the project with multiple partners and always made it seem like he was doing it all himself. We were very challenged finding a suitable contractor for this home as this project was very challenging, but Bill made it easy. Outstanding!!

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
