"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."

"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."

"We bought this deal for some extra help on our renovatio. Could not provide a licensed in harwood heights IL electrican as we were initially promised, which was the main reason for buying this deal. Owner is hard to get a hold of and get an answer out of, the project manager was easier to work with. The guys who came to do the work were great no issues there that is only reason we would work with them again.

"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.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.
