"It was a big build. Coordination of trades was important. Their work to navigate permits with multiple government agencies kept the project on track and on budget. . It's drawn a lot of neighborhood attention. One of the goals was to make this large shop fit into the neighborhood. Job well done."

"Stephen was awesome to work with and his work is outstanding. We are SO happy with our new railings, they make the entire house look brand new. If you need work done in the Grand Haven/Holland area, don't hesitate to go with Northern Lights Construction. I've worked with a lot of contractors and Stephen is top notch. Highly recommend."

"We love our kitchen! Quality is excellent and the attention to detail is obvious. We were so grateful when Ralph connected us to a design team to help us with our dream kitchen. But his creative ideas and wonderful problem solving skills kept the project moving. The construction area was cleaned daily and the project was finished on time and on budget. We really enjoyed having him in our home. His can do attitude made us feel confident we chose the right contractor."

"A++++! bob and matt are awesome! Thank you angie's list, for
helping us find the best contractor that we have ever worked
with...and we have been home-owners for 15 years! Bob was available
on the phone, from the first phone call, and great with communication
all the way around. He worked us in right away, on our schedule, and
we were fortunate enough to have him work us in the very next day
after he came out to give us an estimate.
Bob and matt worked hard and non-stop from the moment they got to
our house. We had a few projects to be done that day, two wall
sconces and a ceiling fan light fixture where there was no ceiling
fan before. Of course, I wanted the sconces where I wanted them ( I
don't like to hear ?no'? when I want something the way I want it!
;) ), and as challenging as it was, bob and matt never once suggested
it would be easier to put them a little off my marks. Bob said, ?ok,
that's where you want them, that's where they will go.? you have
to love that! It was just positive energy the whole time, bob and
matt have a very positive, ?can do,? attitude. Now I have
everything just exactly the way I envisioned it, without the damage
to the walls I was expecting, it just looks amazing and i'm so
delighted that I didn't have the wall repair I was expecting because
they worked a miracle on that job! I just love that they spent the
extra time to work hard and not take any short-cuts to give me what I
wanted without any damage to the wall. I also love that bob stuck to
the estimate he gave us (very reasonable), even though I am pretty
sure the job took a little longer than any of us thought is was going
to.
On a more personal note, bob and matt were a joy to have in the
house, I am bi-polar 1 and have extreme anxiety issues, so, for me,
it is difficult to have people in the house sometimes, (it is my
fortress of solitude! Lol) so, when I say it was a joy to have bob
and matt in the house, that is a big deal for me! All the time they
were working their butts' off, but still bringing positive energy
into the house, and I can't wait to have them back because I know
they will just be a joy to have around, and I know they will do a
great job on anything we hire them to do!
if you are looking for a contractor to do work in your house, hire
bob and it will be a great experience all the way around, and when he
and matt leave, you will be smiling for days!

", Build, owned by Matt Williams is superb. Tasteful, utilitarian, safe and necesary; Matt took care of all the problems and unattractive parts of our home. He is responsive, patient, pleasant (a wonderful smile), and smart. ALso, he is careful about the cost of items. He finds great pieces or equipment that are less costly than we anticipated. We wouldn't hesitate to have a working relationship with Matt and Build, LLC.

"If you are in need of a contractor, I would highly recommend Home Studio by Omega. It is truly a one stop shop for all of your home remodeling needs. The team is so professional and trustworthy, and made what can normally be a very stressful endeavor seamless. We have had terrible experiences with contractors in the past, and now we won't use anyone else but Home Studio!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

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.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
