"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!!!"

"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!"

"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."

"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

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

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.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

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.
