"Rob the owner is a very detailed person. It shows in the custom cabinet fit and finish. Kraftwood Homes is a one stop custom cabinet manufacturer. We have used them for two custom kitchens and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product at a very fair and reasonable price. We continually get compliments on his cabinets we had installed. Good luck Kraftwood is a very good custom cabinet maker."

"We bought a house in an area we like, but we did not like the house, so much. We pretty much gutted the home. It was expensive, but it is the last home we will ever buy. Everything went great. The weather last winter was awful, and Ron and his crew kept our home warm, notified us of problems he encountered and promptly fixed them. He took about 4 feet of snow off our roof just because he is a great guy and didn't want us to have any leaks or ice dams. We took out a wall in the kitchen and that was completely redone and is stunning. Taking out that wall and expanding the kitchen was Ron's idea and we are so happy!! That was the best part of the entire remodel. He also came up with the idea of moving the laundry upstairs (where all the laundry is!). So, we moved laundry from a breezeway type area to converting upstairs 4th bedroom (didn't need) into two rooms--a laundry and extra bath. Existing upstairs bath converted to en suite with a jetted tub.
All new floors. Paint and crown molding, new doors and hardware. New bannisters on the stairs (this really came out pretty). New carpet upstairs. Ron's dad did some custom work for us on the fireplace, an office and made a window seat for my plants in the dining area. We must have put in 80 change orders. All Ron did was smile and say "I just want you guys to be happy."  I am pretty sure he went home every night with his head spinning but he managed to keep up haha.
We did want to add one thing for improvement, in that all our new doors were not painted on the top, so we have to go back and do this.  Also, one of my cabinets broke but I think it was a bad cabinet from KSI. I guess, given the number of things we had done, this is a small omission. I hope I can post pictures. The directions say you do it after you submit the review

"The project went excellent!!! Brandon walked me through every step of the way and he kept me abreast of all and changes that had to be made and all issues with permits with the city of Southfield, MI. It was a pleasure working with Brandon and his company when way above my expectation of the final outcome. I will truly recommend Brandon company for any size project big or small. Brandon is truly a professional and he listen to his customer needs and wants."

"C & O arrived at the jobsite prompt and ready to work. Both my wife and I appreciated the attention to detail that was given to our flooring and painting projects. C & O finished the project by ensuring clean up was done properly, thus leaving our home in above satisfactory condition. The job was done in an extremely precise manner and the crew left no stone unturned in providing top notch craftsmanship. We would definitely rehire for all of our home improvement needs."

"I had an appointment and had to leave home toward the end of the day.  As he was likely to finish the job before I returned, I gave him a check for the balance due.  When I got home that evening, it was obvious that he packed up and left as soon as I had gone, as no more work was done. I called immediately and received email promises to return but  follow up phone calls were never responded to.  That was early October and this is early April.   Though some of the runoff from the roof has been diverted, large amounts of rainwater still pours down onto the rear door area.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
