"Working with MV Design Build surpassed our expectations.

If/when we decide to begin work, we'll be looking for her to help us shepherd us through the rest of the project. Enthusiastically encourage anyone to give her a call."

"Simply put, hiring Insurance Claims Specialist, LLC was one of the most important decisions we made in getting our roof damage resolved. We are responsible homeowners with a strong track record of maintaining our house and property, as well as making sure we have proper insurance coverage. But when weather damaged our roof and our insurance provider denied our claim, we found ourselves in uncharted territory. The process with the insurance provider was daunting, confusing, lengthy, stressful, and not transparent. We were kept at arms length and passed through multiple reviewers. They sent a third-party engineer who showed up unannounced, spent very little time inspecting the damage, and then submitted a report that had numerous factual errors. That report then became a baseline for the insurance company! We were buried in red tape and going in circles. Wayne was able to quickly step in and, using his extensive expertise and knowledge of the regulations and insurance process, got right to the point. As a respected, experienced adjuster, his analysis and steadfast conclusions carried weight. In what could have been a disputed claim that may have taken years to resolve, he cut through the red tape and was able to resolve the matter in our favor within months. In a world where home owners are kept at arms length and treated with skepticism, Wayne was treated with respect as a knowledgeable expert whose views were grounded in experience. When he spoke, people listened. Wayne was very candid and responsive to us. He kept us out of the process details and acted as our representative, while keeping us appropriately informed. He made the process much less stressful! He got the right people to listen and move forward with the right decision. Again, one of the best decisions we’ve made. We highly recommend Insurance Claims Specialist, LLC without reservation."

FAQs for custom home building projects in Friendsville, MD

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
