"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

"They did everything they said they were going to do and they saved me a lot of money. The custom cabinets look amazing! They were even able to custom build all of my great ideas I showed them on Pinterest. They made it very easy and fun for me and it was finished faster than estimated. The quality and service was top notch. I love showing off my new home to my friends. I highly recommend Kraftwood and would use them again."

"DeWeese & Associates have been flawless. Brett DeWeese came to our home for the quote and he was very professional and had an answer to all of my questions! The customer service is outstanding. Brett has kept me informed every step of the way for our bathroom refresh (x2) and basement renovation (from ceiling to floors). Amazing team and I have already recommended them to my family."

"We were extremely happy with Gary and Shawn's work. Everything was completed on schedule even with the little extras that cropped up during the project. I appreciate Gary's expert advice when we ran into these issues. They were able to take an outdated 40 year old home and renovate it to look new. They were both extremely professional and we actually missed their company when they were done. I would highly recommend Discount Home Services to anyone looking for a company to perform home services. Before Gary left we asked for bids on some additional future work. Thanks Gary and Shawn for the great work and sorry for taking awhile to post this review."

"Nick did a great job getting us through our first bathroom remodel. Our space had a lot of issues and surprises and Nick helped to come up with solutions while keeping us in our budget. The new bathroom looks great and we are very happy with the quality of Nick’s work."

"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."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

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.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
