"We hired J&M to install a concrete pad for our cottage, and the experience was so positive that we also asked them to quote and build a gable roof over our deck. From start to finish, the entire project exceeded our expectations. Andy provided the initial quote and ensured everything was properly engineered. Micah then took over coordination and was excellent to work with—communication throughout the project was clear, timely, and professional, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Finally, Jayson handled the construction, and his craftsmanship truly shows in the finished product. The structure looks fantastic, the workmanship is outstanding, and everything was completed right on schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend J&M to anyone looking for high-quality work and a responsive, easy-to-work-with team."

"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."

"Dillon was quick to contact me, and to provide a quote. The day prior for the work to be done, we increased the quantity of gravel and top soil required, and this was not a problem, whatsoever. Quote was updated, and work was done as previously scheduled. The crew was super friendly, and work was done in less than a day. I know this might not have been the biggest project for them to do, however we appreciate it was taken care of. Very hardworking crew, and this project was completed within 1 week, from the 1st contact to finish. Definitely recommend them!"

"We could not have done the rebuild with out Stephen help. I soon realized l could trust him to follow up on everything we asked. He was more like a contractor than a handyman. From rebuilding a bath to setting kitchen cabinets I could not ask for a better man."

"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!

"Jesse was very professional and came out to give us an estimate quickly. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is great. He is quickly and I am impressed with his work on our home. He has knocked down walls and installed drywall. He is also doing painting and flooring. I would recommend him for any household job you may need."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
