"My comments here are based on more than 40 years of personal experience building & renovating custom residences and renovating apartment buildings in southern and mid-Atlantic states. I needed a quality contractor for a custom lake home outside my area, so I asked several local real estate and financing professionals for recommendations. One name kept coming up: Shawn Craig and Craig Construction in Oakland, Maine. Shawn and his crew are unusual in a Good way because they provide reliable service and quality results in many areas of construction. They do the site prep, build a beautiful custom home, install a custom dock, landscape and hard scape - and do all of these things very well. The subcontractors Shawn uses for certain specialties are also very good. Shawn and his crew provide quality results on time and this is very rare among general contractors - so I highly recommend Craig Construction. -Brian M"

"We originally met Richard last summer when we were considering buying a house that needed an extreme amount of renovation. I saw his excellent ratings on Angie's List and called him right away (before we put in an offer).  He met us early on a Sunday morning, walked through the house and gave us his estimates on what it would take to get the house to a livable level. After that walk-through we decided that this house was going to take too much work, and had a few hazards that were unacceptable to us. We decided to put off the house hunting a few months.

Fast-forward to January, 2012. We find another fixer-upper home, and this time know we are putting in an offer. We need a hard copy estimate for our 203K Renovation Loan. Richard again takes time out of his busy schedule, meets us over his lunch hour to walk through and around the home, checking electricity, furnace, plumbing, bathroom/kitchen renovation needs, roof (which we did not know was leaking), the cost of repairing the water damage from the leaky roof, and also the garage door and garage guttering. He provided us with a written estimate and we then had good, solid information of what sort of loan we needed to request, and were able to put in an offer that made sense based on the data.

Well, that offer was not accepted; we were disappointed, but knew that  Richard's work had revealed many problems not visible to us, and costly ones at that.  We knew, based on that information, that our offer  was a reasonable offer based on those facts.  It would have been much worse to have moved ahead only to have had so many problems exposed during the inspection.   So, we moved on to look at yet another house.  Again, Richard took time on a day of my request to come do a walk around outside of the house to survey what would need to be done on the exterior with the paint, gutters, eaves, and window frames. He gave us an estimate of what needed to be done and told us what could wait, and what needed to be done immediately. Based on Richard's estimate, we were able to put an intelligent offer on this third home, feeling confident about the quality of the home, the amount of money we needed to set aside for our improvements, and the priority of the improvements. Ultimately, we were able to come to terms with these sellers, and we have just signed our purchase agreement!

After looking at this home's exterior, Richard offered to come back to walk around the inside during  the inspection so he could get a solid idea of the hardwood floor refinishing we asked him to do, along with some minor kitchen remodeling we want done before we move in.

Richard Froais of NE Renovations is quite a guy, and we really appreciate his reassuring manner and honest, kind, timely and informative responses. I can be a bit of a nervous Nellie, and he has been so patient and caring with his work with us. His customer service is the best I've seen!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.
