"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"Can?t enough good things about Marc at Kenyon Construction. His years of experience as a custom homebuilder are evident in everything he does, but what impresses me most is his integrity, patience, and genuine commitment to his clients. Marc is an incredible listener and problem solver. He has spent countless hours looking at potential lots with me, carefully identifying potential challenges and unexpected costs, and has even steered me away from properties that could have turned into very expensive mistakes. He has taken me through model homes and one of his own custom builds to help me figure out what I love?and what I don?t. He has invested a tremendous amount of time and energy helping me find the right opportunity, even when there was no guarantee that a project would come from it. I still haven?t found my ideal lot, but that certainly isn?t for lack of effort on Marc?s part. I trust Marc completely. I trust his judgment, his experience, and most importantly, his integrity"

"We just purchased our first home, which we love for its historic character. So much of the original house was still in place when we moved in, including the windows. And while we loved them for their historic charm, they were in pretty terrible shape. We chose Legacy and they did a superb job installing the perfect windows that blended perfectly with the rest of our home. We would not have gone a different way with that selection."

"The project went very well. The project was completed on time, on budget, and as requested.
The screen porch is located on uneven ground. Therefore, each piece of lattice needed to be customized to fit the space between the porch and the ground.
The provider explained the process and was very professional. I would definitely use them again and would recommend to family and friends.

"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."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

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.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

Modular homes are more affordable than stick-built homes if you keep quality and square footage equal. The cost to build a home averages $323,000, while average modular home prices sit at {AvgCost}. If you’re looking for custom or luxury options, a traditional custom home costs $825,000, while a high-end modular home costs $600,000, on average.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.
