"Our house has been completely transformed and we are very happy with the outcome. Dave's work and professionalism is exceptional. He operates on the principle as if he's working on his own home. He cares. He will redo completed work if it's not right. Can't beat that. He responds very quickly to phone calls and text messages. I would highly recommend Diamondwood Inc."

"He is by FAR the best home repair/builder I have dealt with in a long time. I was very impressed. He stayed within the time line he gave me-- and actually had it completed early.. He kept me informed, was very polite and professional, was very efficient, did great work, reasonably priced, cleaned up everything. I am telling everyone I know in the area if they need work to call him. He is honest, gets the job done right, in a timely fashion at a very fair price. I will definitely call him when I need other work. I've had problems with so many others that I hired in the past to do repairs/building, dealing with MIke was like a breath of fresth air."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with North West Home Solutions, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work in restoring our basement. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to detail. They took the time to listen to our needs and concerns, offering expert advice on the best way to approach the restoration. The project was completed on time, and the crew made sure to keep everything clean and organized throughout the process. What really stood out was their commitment to ensuring everything was done right, and they didn’t cut corners."

"I "Goggled" Aspen Contracting before I decided to have them do the work on my house. I was open minded because I know how some of the negative online reviews can go. But after meeting with Michael & Sean at Aspen Contracting, talking with a few previous customers, I was confident I was making the right choice. My roofing project went off without a hitch. I have NEVER seen a project like that come together so smoothly! Their customer service and attention to detail that these folks have is just what I was looking for.I will be recommending Aspen Contracting to everyone!!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.
