"We hired RN Construction to help us renovate a very old house we purchased that had suffered major water damage from burst pipes the winter prior. I didn't know anything about RN Construction before finding him on Home Advisor and hiring him but I called a few of his references, which he gladly provided. I wish there had been a rewiew or 2 posted on Home Advisor as that would have increased my confidence coming into the project but Ron quickly earned my trust. I had a good gut feeling when I met him, and Ron always did exactly what he said he was going to do. Before the purchase Ron came with me to look at the property to assess the condition of the structure. We determined it was structurally sound and well worth the investment it would take to bring this house back to life. Ron, with the help of his recommended electrician and plumber all came to look at the house before we made an offer so that I could determine the likely cost of the renovation. Now it's a renovation and there were of course surprises and additional work we wanted done that bumped costs up but that is to be expected. A good rule of thumb is to take your estimate and multiply it by 1.5 with any project. This was no exception but when I do the math on the amount of hours and people on the crew who were here working hard every day, not to mention materials, I can tell you with confidence that we paid a very fair price for the work that was done. This was an older house built in 1742 with a lot of character that we wanted to preserve. My husband, 8 1/2 year old daugher, and I lived in the house while it was being renovated. If you have to spend 7 months of your life with a crew, I really can't imagine a better one to have around. They have a great camaraderie and are always courteous and helpful. Ron was always a phone call away whenever I needed him or had a question and was incredibly accomodating on all of our requests. The quality of work is top notch. Ron has decades of experience and has trained his crew well. Due to this being such an old house there were a lot of crooked floors and walls to deal with, which made this a complex project but looking around the house now you'd never know it suffered any damage at all. Ron and his crew really brought it back to its former glory and then some. We began the project in September of renovating this main house and also a guest house. Ron had estimated that we'd be done by late March or early April. It's March 31st and they are wrapping up the last few details here. My two pieces of advice are 1) if you're extremely fussy about materials (as I am) then do be sure to work with Ron to pick them out. And 2) treat Ron and his crew with respect. They deserve it and will return it. We feel very lucky to have found RN Construction. They will remain our goto crew for any future projects."

"I couldn't be happier with Joe and his crew.  From first contact and the time we met to get an estimate I could tell right off the bat he knew exactly what he was talking about, and was very professional about everything.  I met with 2 other contractors, and even though Home Facelifters wasn't the cheapest, I knew that they would get the job done right and on time.  They dealt with all of the city inspectors and dealt with pulling all the permits, they helped me pick out many of the different items for the house like the cabinets, counters, appliances, flooring, and even colors for the walls.  There were some things that I thought I wanted a certain way but Joe was always willing to try and explain why another way might be better, which I do appreciate.  The payment process was very simple, we did go over our original estimate, but he had told me upfront there was a chance we would find things behind the walls that we couldn't predict, and I was prepared to possibly go over by a certain amount so that wasn't a problem.  The work was done very quickly, and the quality of everything is great.  I will definitely be using Joe and his crew on future projects of mine.

"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.
