"I desperately needed a basement window replaced, it was broken and the frame was falling out. J&Ms guys showed up ready to work and had a new window in a few hour installed. They also asked me how I wanted this or that done, which I appreciated greatly. We are very happy with the new windows and will likely have them back for future projects."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Stephen was awesome to work with and his work is outstanding. We are SO happy with our new railings, they make the entire house look brand new. If you need work done in the Grand Haven/Holland area, don't hesitate to go with Northern Lights Construction. I've worked with a lot of contractors and Stephen is top notch. Highly recommend."

"A++++! bob and matt are awesome! Thank you angie's list, for
helping us find the best contractor that we have ever worked
with...and we have been home-owners for 15 years! Bob was available
on the phone, from the first phone call, and great with communication
all the way around. He worked us in right away, on our schedule, and
we were fortunate enough to have him work us in the very next day
after he came out to give us an estimate.
Bob and matt worked hard and non-stop from the moment they got to
our house. We had a few projects to be done that day, two wall
sconces and a ceiling fan light fixture where there was no ceiling
fan before. Of course, I wanted the sconces where I wanted them ( I
don't like to hear ?no'? when I want something the way I want it!
;) ), and as challenging as it was, bob and matt never once suggested
it would be easier to put them a little off my marks. Bob said, ?ok,
that's where you want them, that's where they will go.? you have
to love that! It was just positive energy the whole time, bob and
matt have a very positive, ?can do,? attitude. Now I have
everything just exactly the way I envisioned it, without the damage
to the walls I was expecting, it just looks amazing and i'm so
delighted that I didn't have the wall repair I was expecting because
they worked a miracle on that job! I just love that they spent the
extra time to work hard and not take any short-cuts to give me what I
wanted without any damage to the wall. I also love that bob stuck to
the estimate he gave us (very reasonable), even though I am pretty
sure the job took a little longer than any of us thought is was going
to.
On a more personal note, bob and matt were a joy to have in the
house, I am bi-polar 1 and have extreme anxiety issues, so, for me,
it is difficult to have people in the house sometimes, (it is my
fortress of solitude! Lol) so, when I say it was a joy to have bob
and matt in the house, that is a big deal for me! All the time they
were working their butts' off, but still bringing positive energy
into the house, and I can't wait to have them back because I know
they will just be a joy to have around, and I know they will do a
great job on anything we hire them to do!
if you are looking for a contractor to do work in your house, hire
bob and it will be a great experience all the way around, and when he
and matt leave, you will be smiling for days!

"The new porch will be maintenance free since the old wooden decking has now been replaced with composite.  Matt and Jeff are so conscientious and thorough and it shows through from the beginning of the job to completion.  In addition, Matt helped us greatly with his creativity and great eye for what works and what doesn't in terms of design and color.  
We did obtain three different bids and Matt's was the highest but in the end, as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for". Now that the job is done, we are so glad we decided to go with Build LLC for this job!  Matt and Jeff both demonstrate pride in every facet of the work they do.  
We have more interior "refreshing" work to accomplish over the winter and we'll be hiring Matt for this work as well.  We would gladly and without hesitation,  recommend Matt and Build LLC for any work that you may need.

Home Building 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.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

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.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
