"Rob and his brother worked on our bathroom until its completion and were a welcome presence in our home.  Rob is very ethical, and honest, he willingly and patiently returned damaged products, fixed a faulty faucet, and overall did a beautiful job with the bathroom.  His expertise was very clear as he was able to fix flaws and misfits so that the finished bathroom looks very sharp.  Rob kept us informed as to his plans and when things would be completed.  Rob also was very cost conscious, allowed us to do the painting to keep costs down, and his estimate and final cost was far below other estimates we received.  We are planning on having Rob come back soon and tackle our kitchen!"

"Installed a brand new bathroom on the second floor of our home. They did everything from start to finish, as we had no bathroom on the second level- ran all new plumbing, installed tiled shower with glass door, new toilet, vanity, drywall, flooring etc! Sam suggested we use some of the dead space for shelving. He cut and installed those as well. Great service, pricing, and product- we love it!"

"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."

"Our company has utilized the services of Allen Home Construction in several customer and internal construction projects. As a company that specializes in residential and commercial waterfront equipment, we at various times find ourselves faced with property projects outside of our area of expertise. Allen Home Construction has been a great "go to" construction pro with broad knowledge in several home/building construction applications. Specifically, our company has hired Allen Home Construction for various new construction projects ranging from custom deck and dock systems, to interior/exterior residential and commercial building refacing and updating. The quality of work and broad range of professional experience which is obvious when dealing with them, is hard to come by. Their work is detailed and efficient while providing much comfort that the task is properly throughout the entire process.They provide great input regarding suggested designs and material choices. We have found with every project that they have hired them for is done with very little material and labor waste, translating into a very competitive project costs. Thank you Allen Home Construction!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

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.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel
