We have a long, uphill driveway, a curved walkway, and a back deck.  Shawn Craig has been our "plow guy" this winter and we couldn't be happier with Craig Construction's service.  Our drive is neatly plow, the walkway cleared, and even a path to propane tank is kept accessible!  And yesterday, I asked late in the afternoon if they could shovel our back deck and they did it while clearing the driveway after Blizzard Juno!! I am very glad to be working this winter with Craig Construction.

"NE Renovations is a general contractor whose network of contractors provided services to me as I was getting ready to sell the house.  The electrical service went very well with Mr. Martucci doing great work and advising me about things that did not need to be done.  I feel that he was a great advisor!
The flooring in the basement also went very well with the NE folks advising me about the best way to approach the installation.  Everything was perfect when they left.  I truly appreciated their workmanship.

"Brandon Brown and his crew are wonderful, very knowledgeable and professional. I bought a bank repossession that was in pretty sad condition on the coast of Maine and returned to Texas after 4 face to face conversations with Brandon about what I wanted done with the house. He took my wants, needs and dreams and turned them into a reality. I've another project scheduled for summer 2020 and I won't be happy unless Acadia Construction is doing the work."

"Very happy with Blue spruce property management. They made a appointment for an estimate and was here on time. They worked with me on my concerns about weather and temperature issues. They came one day and finished the next. The quality of the fence was great much better than home depot. Good quality posts and very little clean up when they were done. Would highly recommend them."

"I Couldnt Have Hired A More Responsible Pair... Lau & Stu were unbelievably helpful, kind, efficient, effective and fast. Shrubs next to a building are not a good thing... moving them was a great idea, but finding someone who works with both trees and shrubs , as well as slopes and the lawn, is rather difficult. Id hire them again !!! They were great !!!"

"I cannot say enough about the quality and workmanship of Ken King. He is absolutely one of the best craftsmen we have ever used. He is punctual, very detail oriented, and we trusted him so much, we gave him the run of the house when we left for vacation."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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.
