I am Scott Emerson. I've been in this line of work for about five years. I recently decided to branch off and start my own business, I've had great mentors and know how to do a lot on a house. From OSB, Insulating, Drywall, Painting, Design flooring, Steel roofs, Framing, Electrical, Trim, Setting windows, and doors. I'm sure there's more but I'm willing to work for the right price.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.

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.

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.

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.

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.
