"The whole experience was wonderful! Calvin Lee came to our home to measure the space and provided exactly what we asked for as our remodel design. Jason and his crew worked very hard to complete our kitchen as quickly as possible while doing excellent work. Christian always answered question and addressed concerns as the process went on. Jason followed up each evening to let us know what would happen next. They arrived on time each day worked full days. We got all new cabinets, flooring, countertops, lighting and paint. We couldn’t be happier with our new beautiful kitchen!"

"I Hired John James property after having major issues with my first contractor during my complete renovation of my garden apartment. Not only was he prompt in returning my initial call, but he came by within 24 hours to see what I needed done and start working on an estimate. I could probably have gotten a cheaper contractor but I know for sure, I could NOT have gotten a better contractor. You pay for what you get. From start to finish, he was ALWAYS available to assist me, no matter the time or day, with things that I did not understand about the process and to make sure we stayed on schedule. ALL of his workers were trustworthy, prompt and efficient. One of his contractors even agreed to assist me after the job was complete with some handyman issues. I am EXTREMELY happy with the final outcome and would HIGHLY recommend him and his company. Thank you John James properties for making this process for me, stress and worry free!!"

"I will begin from the end-HIRE THEM! We have been using EnviroBuild’s services for the last 10 years, since purchasing our house. They serviced us in 4 different projects, in which the last one was after a tree fell on our house. They came and start assisting us even prior to the insurance providing approval by covering the roof and getting someone to clear the large tree debris. They negotiated with the insurance and made sure that we will receive ALL we need to be done to include permits and inspections. Once the work started it was quick, efficient, professional and with absolutely amazing results. We will definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in a work to be done in their home."

"Our backyard pool built by Bent Palm was recently completed and we couldnâ t be any happier! My husband and I had wanted to build a pool for years, so when we were finally ready to do it, we wanted something nice. I interviewed several builders before hiring Bent Palm. Bent Palm stood out to me for several reasons. First, the owner, Tommy Griest, spent a long time patiently answering all our questions and we were impressed by his expertise and honesty. He clearly has years of experience and is just a pleasant Tommy spent a lot of time working out the design details for our pool and patio, which was a little complicated due to the dimensions of our property. He did not charge us for working out multiple versions of the design, as other builders were going to do. We made several modifications and Tommy worked with us to make sure we stayed within our budget. Whereas other pool builders seemed more concerned with charging us as much as they could, Tommyâ s main concern was that we would be happy with the final product. We stayed within the budget and ended up getting a far superior product than I ever thought we could afford! Let me tell you, we are beyond thrilled with not only our pool, but also our patio and deck, which were also designed and installed by Bent Palm. Never having owned a pool before, we had no idea what would look good but Tommy gave us some great ideas and suggestions based on his experience to help guide our decisions. He earned our trust along the way and all of his installers and tradespeople were top-notch. If you are looking to build a pool, look no further â Bent Palm is the best in the business. We look forward to spending long days lounging around our beautiful new swimming pool! Thank you, Tommy!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

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.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

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.
