"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"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

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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. 

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.
