"Had the absolute privilege to work with Northern Light's Construction/Stephen. After getting quotes from several contractors in the Grand Rapids area not only was NLC more cost effective compared to the market but, was promised to be completed before a majority of them. In 3 months NLC did a complete remodel of our home. Stephens professionalism and, attention to details were flawless which resulted in great finished product that we are extremely happy with and, proud to call home. Couldn't recommend a better contractor then Stephen. 10/10, 5+ Stars, A++ Work and, 2 thumbs up!!!"

"This was a great deal. We bought a $99 Angie's List package that included up to 2 hours of plumbing labor--and that is exactly what we got. We were preparing to sell our house, and the potential buyers wanted all of the plumbing "issues" that surfaced during their inspection fixed before closing, so we called Bob's to take advantage of this deal. They were very quick to call back and schedule the appointment; Terry (the contractor) showed up on time; and all of the work was completed very efficiently. I think it's important to note that Terry went the extra mile for us--some of the items on the list were vague descriptions of "potential" problems, and neither my husband nor myself could explain to Terry what the concern was. Terry took the time to talk to the person who had prepared the inspection report; figured out what needed to be done; left to get parts that he needed; and came back to complete the job. AWESOME customer service, if you ask me. We plan on using Bob's (and asking for Terry) again for any repairs that may surface in our new home!!
The only reason that I gave this company a "B" for professionalism is because we needed to show the buyer's proof of repairs, and had only been given a generic receipt (no letterhead, logo, etc.) with hand-written descriptions of what had been done. Not a big problem--our buyers were ok with it--but it could have been an issue if the buyers had wanted something that looked a bit more "official".
All in all, a great deal, great service, and I am very, very happy we went with this provider!

"Do contact Matt Williams at Build if you have some work to do in your home or office. He can build, renovate and redecorate with skill and great taste. His patience is long and his foresight is strong. You need not even get other quotes. Matt gives a fair price for all the work he does. And he does even more than expected or required. He does not miss a problem to be solved, and will often fix it on his own.

"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."

"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

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

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.

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.

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.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.
