"I want to correct a previous review I had prepared concerning my recent experience with VKB Kitchen & Bathroom regarding the conditions of two cabinet facings and small water damage around the glass shower drawers on a bathroom remodeling project done by the company 4 years ago. Although the contract and warranty conditions are clearly stated, within the constraints of these circumstances, Jason did an excellent job in working with me to resolve my concerns - keeping my best interests foremost in his actions and recommendations. As such, I want to make things right in giving him credit for OUTSTANDING customer service! Moreover, VKB as an organization does in fact stand by the quality and workmanship of their product and services."

"After meeting with numerous contractors in January 2020; we choose to work with Persky Custom Builders and the owner Josh Persky. They did a fantastic job remodeling my parent's dated kitchen on budget and in the timeframe promised. The whole project start to finish went well and my Mom is thrilled with her new kitchen. I am very impressed with the workmanship, attention to detail, and care put into the job by Josh and crew. When minor hiccups came up, Josh was always calm, candid, addressed issues quickly, even going above and beyond what was required. It was such a pleasure; we'll definitely work with Persky Builders on future projects. If you are looking to improve your home, look no further than Persky Custom Builders"

"After getting estimates from the three top-ranked Angie's List insulation companies, it was clear that AC & R was the best choice.  They definitely did not disappoint. They arrived on time at our house and proceeded to finish the job in approximately 1/2 day.  They were neat and clean and left the house in perfect order.  My husband was home for the whole process and said that they did any excellent job.  We are very happy with the workmanship and gladly gave them the highest ratings."

"J. Scott Design's speed of completing a job, their high quality of work, the ability to listen to the customer and truly hearing what they wanted, and a great price was what helped my husband and I to choose them to build our shed. We love our new shed and can't wait to unburden our garage and basement and place those items in an orderly fashion in our new barn style shed. It is a beautiful structure that makes us so happy! Tommy and his crew did a terrific job! We will choose J. Scott Design for other major projects that may come in the future for our home. We have recommended the company to our neighbors and friends."

"Z FullRehab helped us with a basement remodeling (including a complete makeover of the bathroom) and the creation of two bedrooms from one in the upstairs portion of the house. Jerry was our primary point of contact and he was extremely customer oriented throughout the entire process. He came by every day that work was ongoing and he was in contact with us in person, by phone and via email. All of the subcontractors brought in (demolition, electrician, plumber, drywall installer, mud and sanding, painter, HVAC) were all extremely professional and the quality of work was first rate."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

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.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.
