"From the first contact until the final payment everything about my experience with NE Renovations was EXEMPLARY.  I have lived in different states and different countries where I have had reason to employ contractors over the years, and I can say, without a doubt, that NE Renovations are SUPERIOR in every department.  Bill, Kenny, Mark and Anthony were COURTEOUS, EFFICIENT, SKILLED CRAFTSMEN; unobtrusive while simultaneously involving me, in as much as I wanted to be involved, each step of the way; no task was too trivial or too difficult, even jobs that were challenging i.e. finding extremely hard to find no longer manufactured parts was approached and attended to with SUCCESS, ENTHUSIASM and a POSITIVE attitude.  Every job was undertaken with a SMILE and PROFESSIONALISM.  Richard consistently communicated via email and telephone throughout in a PLEASANT and PROMPT manner. Mark and Anthony removed old appliances and some hard to get rid of junk in my garage at NO EXTRA COST.  Kenny worked METHODICALLY, PROFESSIONALLY and so  QUIETLY I would forget he was there, and Bill, what a gem ! - A MASTER CRAFTSMAN who can turn his hand to any job, who begins and ends his day with a smile and a kind word.THE FINAL COST WAS AS ESTIMATED DESPITE THAT I ADDD QUITE A FEW JOBS ALONG THE WAY - AT NO EXTRA COST! The work was done in a timely manner and for the first time in my experience with contractors it was an absolute pleasure to greet this team of craftsmen each morning at 8am. I am an extremely happy customer and would highly recommend NE Renovations. The result of their efforts is apparent in my now BEAUTIFULLY and PROFESSIONALLY renovated home."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
