"Brandon is simply the best at his craft and is a great guy all around. He completely gutted the 2nd floor of our home and reconfigured the space adding a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams . He put in a beautiful full bathroom and redid the stairs with handcrafted railings. His passion for detail shows in every single job he does. He is well rounded and can do any job you have . I had him come back to put a whole new roof on our huge garage and he knocked that out of the park also ! He was only contractor that got back to me and feel very fortunate I retained him for this massive reconstruction project. Just a honest hardworking great guy . Thanks Brandon ð"

"ok but I had to call them back to correct a problem with the stairs that were not evenly spaced. As I am fall due to Multiple Sclerosis, this is a major problrm for me., They did do a fix and I will pass final judgement after the winter. Nice, polite crew to have working at my home. I even made them a pan of brownies to share!"

"Timber Hitch removed three trees at my request, limbs were chipped, good or usable wood was hauled off-site to be utilized for home heating. Workers are very friendly, are also very considerate regarding both site cleanup and following property owners request that could cause possible damage to owners property. Will be hiring again for more tree removal. TimberHitch was hired again by me to remove numerous very large trees this summer, meaning Summer of 2020. At least two trees were over 80 years old with numerus large trunk branches which were located very close to my home. TimberHitch safely removed these trees in addition to some smaller and dead trees which could have created problems with my home. Also there was a very tall tree near my garage which was removed as it was close enough to both my home and garage which could have caused considerable damage to either if toppled by winds. Due to the fact I was now faced with large amounts of wood to be removed from my property TimberHitch contacted a logging company at my request to have the wood removed. Their cleanup during and after removal of the trees was outstanding, also due to COVID-19 they were considerate about keeping social distancing while I was discussing work with them. I have another tree removal project coming up, TimberHitch will be contacted for this project."

"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."

"Initially, there was some confusion about the scheduled appointment. I spoke to a Home Advisor rep about it. Once that was cleared up, things went great. They were on time, did great work and cleaned up after themselves. I would hire them again."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

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.

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.

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
