"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

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.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

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.
