"We worked with Rufino to update the bathrooms and closets in our home master bath/closet and two upstairs bathrooms and closets. He is a True Professional in many ways. He worked with my husband and me to create a modern design that encompassed our ideas. He introduced us to options that are more current in design as well. He created 3D images of our proposed master bathroom and custom closet using our material choices. These images were incredibly helpful in understanding what the finished rooms would look like. His calm demeanor put me at ease with the project and took away my reservations of having our home renovated. Also, having workers in your home can be stressful and Rufino completed the work in the time proposed! Most importantly, I feel Rufino is very trustworthy and was very accessible to me during the project - answering my questions and communicating the next steps in the work being done via cell, text and email. Our bathrooms and closets were finished with detailed workmanship and expert service. He worked hard to make sure we were totally satisfied. They look simply AMAZING. We look forward to more projects with Rufino and Labra Design Build!"

"We bought a house in an area we like, but we did not like the house, so much. We pretty much gutted the home. It was expensive, but it is the last home we will ever buy. Everything went great. The weather last winter was awful, and Ron and his crew kept our home warm, notified us of problems he encountered and promptly fixed them. He took about 4 feet of snow off our roof just because he is a great guy and didn't want us to have any leaks or ice dams. We took out a wall in the kitchen and that was completely redone and is stunning. Taking out that wall and expanding the kitchen was Ron's idea and we are so happy!! That was the best part of the entire remodel. He also came up with the idea of moving the laundry upstairs (where all the laundry is!). So, we moved laundry from a breezeway type area to converting upstairs 4th bedroom (didn't need) into two rooms--a laundry and extra bath. Existing upstairs bath converted to en suite with a jetted tub.
All new floors. Paint and crown molding, new doors and hardware. New bannisters on the stairs (this really came out pretty). New carpet upstairs. Ron's dad did some custom work for us on the fireplace, an office and made a window seat for my plants in the dining area. We must have put in 80 change orders. All Ron did was smile and say "I just want you guys to be happy."  I am pretty sure he went home every night with his head spinning but he managed to keep up haha.
We did want to add one thing for improvement, in that all our new doors were not painted on the top, so we have to go back and do this.  Also, one of my cabinets broke but I think it was a bad cabinet from KSI. I guess, given the number of things we had done, this is a small omission. I hope I can post pictures. The directions say you do it after you submit the review

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"I got 3 quotes for work that needed to be done on the exterior of my home and took the middle quote. The company that was doing the job was doing a horrible job. New Star Construction was doing some other work in my neighborhood and they came to look at the job. I ended up having them come and fix the bad work from the previous company and I couldn't be happier. They did a great job and are such great people to work with. They are still calling me to follow up to make sure everything is ok."

"I obtained estimates from five different companies. Not only was Elite's estimate one of the most reasonable but their materials were very highly rated on siding sites wher I had conducted research. I worked with Dave who was very professional, listened to what I said I wanted for my home and then gave me appropriate choices. All of the crew were super nice. One of them even took my trash out for me when he didn't want me to have to walk over the construction debris while they were working. The project was done within budget and Elite included some other small repairs at no cost. I was very pleased with this whole project. The house has never looked better.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

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?

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.
