"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."

"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

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.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.
