"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."

"Hiring a contractor for home repairs has always been challenging and slightly intimidating for me. Fortunately I heard about Leo through a friend and could not have asked for a better experience. Great communication, honest pricing, and quality work."

"Jason and his crew did a great job. They assessed the situation, came up with a plan, got the job done and left the house neat and tidy when they finished. They were efficient and completed in the time frame and cost that they estimated. I was particularly impressed with how well they got the 4' section of new hardwood flooring to blend with the existing floor."

"Bolivar and his team did a great job! Communication was reliable, consistent, and super informative. We had a busy schedule and Bolivar was patient to work around our time. He was also very cooperative as we changed direction a couple times during the job. Nevertheless, he and his team were always on time and the quality of execution met our expectations. Thank you!"

"We hired James and his company to refinish our deck. James came out personally to give us a few options. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient. He was able to fit us into his schedule to get our deck done in time for a party we were throwing on short notice which we really appreciated it. We hope to use him and his company in the future for more house projects we're planning on. You are in good hands with James and his team, I highly recommend them!"

"locke It In Construction was an amazing company. they went beyond there duties. i had a bunch of stuff in my garage that needed to be moved, and i was unable to get it done on time and instead of rescheduling there crew went right to work pulling all the stuff out of the way just to get to there tasks. on top of that they did an amazing job timely and very respectful to everyone in my household... i had them hanging 12 ft sheets on a 9 foot ceiling height and i offered them to cut the sheets in half but instead of taking the easy way out they got it done i couldn't thank them enough. they had told me the reason for it, " later on down the road when you go to mud the seems , its always less the better." that shows hes always looking on down the future for your best interest and hes always helping out the customer no matter what.. the price was great the time was great, and overall all the completion came out great. on top of that my garage has never been so clean.. thank you to Locke It In construction i simply could ask for a better out come or such a profesional job YOU GUYS ROCKED!!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

Yes, modular homes offer a wide range of customization options for layout, finishes, and features.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.
