"Dan came up with plan to get the extra space we needed after we had some issues with the city denying our original plan. The crews that came out were friendly and top notch. The addition and refresh of our upper level looks very modern and we love it!"

"I have relatively high standards for workmanship, and A&M was meticulous and excellent in my deck replacement. Even better was the information that was given to me by A&M to help make better decisions. They provided excellent guidance on the material, colors, design and the finished look. The cost was in the mid-range of the bids I had received, and it was reasonable. If you want excellence, this is the builder you want!"

"We are nearly complete working with Jamie on our home renovation project, and could not be more excited with the outcome. Throughout the process, Jamie worked with us on our vision and had many creative and artistic ideas that are now part of our remodel. Jamie and his crew along with the electrician and plumber were all respectful of our space, and our home, leaving each day with everything cleaned up of all materials. The progression of the project was thoroughly communicated to us, so there were no surprises along the way. The quality and uniqueness of the work from a custom wood staircase detail and design advice were exceptional. We work together to create custom spaces, from the powder room to the sauna that Jamie designed himself. We are impressed with the quality of work that Jamie and all involved provided during the remodel. Jamie‘s fun and friendly demeanor made the process an enjoyable experience for our whole family. Craftwerk has transformed our home into a modern unique space that we will enjoy for years to come. Stevie DeGiulio"

"Sears Home Improvement Products have washers and fittings to repair washing machines and such. The staff seem real knowledgeable and they were friendly with my son when my son was asking the sort of questions he asks everyone! The pricing is reasonable."

"Greene Construction knocked it out of the park for us once more. This is the third or fourth project we've had them do at our house, and it was a big one. They did most of the heavy lifting for our basement remodel project which included installing a new egress window, replacing an 8' picture window, replacing an entry door, framing the basement (family room, bathroom, shower, bedroom, closet, hallway) and other miscellaneous things along the way. Not only was the price right (as usual for these guys), and the work done well, but they always seem happy to be doing it. I like hiring people who love what they do. They go the extra mile to satisfy the customer, and that's why I keep hiring them back. On large jobs like this, setbacks and problems are inevitable, and not once did they ask for more money to complete the job. They just did what needed to get done even though it took longer. I am extremely satisfied with the work and plan on hiring them again in the future!"

"I'll make this short, but could write a novel. From the start he was great to work with, then once work began dates kept getting pushed and pushed. the wrong garage door was installed, I had a garage door opener installed that I didn't ask for (but am glad it's there now), the service door was the wrong swing, the apron had to be redone due to being the wrong size and it didn't have a slope to it. I heard over and over that he was just the messenger to relay the information to his sub-contractors. the project was completed one month after the 'promised' completion date. Once the project was comlete I have to say that I'm happy with the finished product, just the process was VERY frustrating. That's the short version...take it for what you will."

"Overall we were satisfied with the quality of the job but we did run into some issues. Sam said it would take 2 days to complete but it ended up taking 6 full days. Unfortunately I had to use a lot more vacation to be home for this than I anticipated. We ran into some issues with the sub-contractors. One guy got nothing done the day he was there and then never showed up the next day. To Sam's credit, he called in another framer and the work was started as soon as possible. The quality was decent but we ended up having to fix some spots ourselves and add some extra framing to make the areas aesthetically pleasing. The crew members were all polite and cleaned up after themselves, which I always appreciate. Sam is very easy to work with and very professional. He takes his business seriously and has high expectations of his crew. Despite the issues we encountered we were still happy with the work and the price."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

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.
