"We needed assistance in moving a few heavyweight pieces to our new home. The owner had an available trailer and could take care of them within our time frame. The employee was very patient and understood my concerns to protect both our pieces and the home we were leaving. This to me was also an opportunity to get an impression of the organization as there are some jobs at our new home where help will be needed."

"He is by FAR the best home repair/builder I have dealt with in a long time. I was very impressed. He stayed within the time line he gave me-- and actually had it completed early.. He kept me informed, was very polite and professional, was very efficient, did great work, reasonably priced, cleaned up everything. I am telling everyone I know in the area if they need work to call him. He is honest, gets the job done right, in a timely fashion at a very fair price. I will definitely call him when I need other work. I've had problems with so many others that I hired in the past to do repairs/building, dealing with MIke was like a breath of fresth air."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

"I "Goggled" Aspen Contracting before I decided to have them do the work on my house. I was open minded because I know how some of the negative online reviews can go. But after meeting with Michael & Sean at Aspen Contracting, talking with a few previous customers, I was confident I was making the right choice. My roofing project went off without a hitch. I have NEVER seen a project like that come together so smoothly! Their customer service and attention to detail that these folks have is just what I was looking for.I will be recommending Aspen Contracting to everyone!!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.
