"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We bought a house that ended up being a surprise fixer-upper. We thought paint and new flooring would be the extent of our home improvements but as we got into "demo" we found problem after problem. We were very discouraged because the problems were more than we could handle. I called 7 contractors and only 2 called me back. Luckily for us, one of them Bryant Construction. The positive, can-do attitude that Nich and Scott came in with, was exactly what we needed, to know that it was all going to be ok. They did it ALL for us. They tore down walls, built walls, fixed electrical, fixed plumbing issues, added can lights and ceiling fans, fixed floor joists, laid flooring, textured walls, did trim work, fixed window issues and so much more. They came up with solution after solution for ALLLL of the problems they ran into with this house. Also, they are fantastic people. They are honest, reliable, trust worthy, positive, funny and most importantly, they LISTENED TO WHAT WE WANTED. They were also respectful of our budget and timeline. I can't imagine have anyone else do the work that they did. I wouldn't want anyone else to do the work that they did. We are so very grateful that we found Bryant Construction!!"

"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 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.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Modular homes are more affordable than stick-built homes if you keep quality and square footage equal. The cost to build a home averages $323,000, while average modular home prices sit at {AvgCost}. If you’re looking for custom or luxury options, a traditional custom home costs $825,000, while a high-end modular home costs $600,000, on average.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.

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.
