"We had a $4,000 entry window replaced in May. When the window was installed, there was a problem with the top trim and casing. Champion sent our multiple people to remeasure. We were pushed off with "it is on order" until October. At which point I began calling every number I had every day until we were able to finally get someone out to put up the trim to cover up the foam at the top of the window. We were told that was the best they could do and that the window would not have the upper casing and that it was normal. The window looked unfinished and was not worth the cost. In November they came back out to trim the side casings to make it look more presentable but still did not offer to put on the upper casing. My husband and I researched and expended additional time and expense to correct the work ourselves. Due to the run around, failure to return calls or follow through with appointments I was disappointed with the process, customer service, and the final product."

Fence Contractors

"I received four bids for the fence we wanted installed. I picked wood link because of their responsiveness in the bidding process and that they could build the fence quickly. They gave us a bid a day or two after we contacted them and the fence was installed within 10 days. The whole process went very well. Wood link let us know via text when they were coming and kept us updated on the process. The quality of their work was excellent. The posts, stringers and fence boards were good quality. They built a gate for us and it looks good and works very well. I highly recommend them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project—especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.

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.

To qualify as a guest house, a structure needs to meet your local building code requirements. In some locations, a guest house must be a separate residence from the primary home. In other locations, you may be able to connect the two buildings and still call the second building a guest house. However, a structure doesn’t often need a minimum size to qualify as a guest house.
