"From the beginning of my project in January 2024, I have never regretted my decision to choose Ethos Building Group LLc. Jeh Johnson and his partner Tracy Herod have worked diligently to execute the itemized proposal that began this project to rehab, restore, and rebuild my home at 607 Wilmington ave. St. Louis MO 63111. An incredible number of tradesmen and tradeswomen have done their individual tasks all on a schedule professionally overseen by Jeh. These liscensed and masters of their trades worked alongside Jeh who if necessary stepped in and aided e these individuals. His overall expertise has brought my home to this point. One must keep in mind that a burnout like my home is an unusal job for Ethos Buildig Group LLc to accept. Yet at every stage my home has been given the same careful and thorough attention as their larger jobs. And despite some push back with my insurance company every thing has proceeded smoothly and orderly manner given the inevitable supply chain delays. Jeh Johnson is an affable young man who has facilitated all phases my prject and has even taken time to educate me on all the intricacies involved in a project such as mine. I cannot think of any single word to describe my experience with Ethos Building Group LLc but the forgoing will have to suffice. Thanks you for your kind attention. Stay safe and make a point of telling those who you find dear just what they mean to you."

"Chris with Bizzy Beaver has been AMAZING. We have hired them for 3 separate projects in the last year after purchasing our first home. We initially used them when we adopted a rescue dog and needed to get a 6ft privacy fence built ASAP. Chris and his team completed this quickly and did a great job. We then had Chris build custom cabinet doors, drawer boxes, and drawer fronts to update our kitchen in time for an event at our house! He made sure to complete the project on time, and the kitchen looks amazing and like a totally new kitchen! Chris also helped represent us to our insurance company while helping us file our claim after a major hail storm. Tim and Chris explained everything in depth and made the process as easy as possible for us. They met with the insurance adjuster to ensure all damages were assessed correctly, which was a huge help since we are first time homeowners and had never had to do that before. Bizzy Beaver is always reliable, on time, personable, and makes sure everything is completed correctly. Chris and his team are so easy to work with - I would definitely recommend using them for any of your home improvement projects!!"

"Joe arrived right on time, asked what I wanted done, went to buy the materials, returned, and got right to work. Everything was installed quickly, neatly and professionally. He cleaned up everything and all the jobs he did look very nice! I will most likely compile another list in the future and use Freeman Custom Builders & Handyman again.
I purchased 8 hrs./$399.

"We dealt with Tom Earle. It was not as good as we have liked, but it was good enough. I did not think that they were working half hours. All of the contractors worked similarly. They come in about 9 o’clock and leave at 3:04 everyday. There were only few exceptions when we started to complain. Then, in the beginning they had a couple of people here. Sometimes it had been three, and then many days, they used to have one person. When we asked them what happened, they said they were working on other jobs too. So, it is a small company, but then I guess they just want to have as many contracts as possible so at times they were spread kind of thin. That prolonged the construction project. It took longer than originally planned. The pricing was pretty good. I saw a couple of other contractors, and theirs came out pretty good. I am not exactly sure about the quality of their work because it is hard for me to compare someone else because we have not had such a large project, but I came to believe that there were situations where the quality could have been better because we asked them to redo a few things. So, of course after we started to pay more attention and complain about their quality then they kind of put more time into it or give it more attention. It is not something that I would consider automatic. It is okay. I am going to do the best I can. It seemed like if you do not complain, then, they will get away with whatever they could possibly get away with. That is the way I see it. I felt that maybe all the other contractors are not like this. I think there are exceptions. They do the best they can and there are also others who can do better, but they do not seem to do so unless you start complaining about it. They are a little bit like that. I thought they did finish okay. They were pretty good in listening to our needs and so with regards to responsiveness, they are pretty good. When you start talking about the allocation of resources and things like this, we were competing with his other projects. I do not know if responsiveness included that or not because the whole project stood up more than a month, even more than the hundred day week. We had previously worked with a smaller scale contractor and he would come here at the earliest as he could. He asked us when he could come in, and he told us that if he could come at 7:30 that that would be better. So, we told him to come at 8. A lot of times he would stay and work until like 5 or 6 until we need to eat dinner. A lot of times he would also come in on weekends on work. For Good Neighbors, they are definitely not like that. They would come in around 9 o’clock sometimes even later or until we ask where they are. The project has been delayed and they did not come in. Maybe they have longer drives that they had to do and they leave early too. A couple times, when we really complained a lot, then they brought some people in over the weekend. Those guys came in voluntarily to work I guess because they were pretty conscientious. They are subcontractors to Good Neighbors. When we started complaining, they came in over a few times over the weekend just to catch up. If that is the hours, they would say they were punctual because they were showing up at time they were suppose to show up, but from our perspective, I go to work at 8 in the morning and come home at 5; you are not doing the same. They were pretty professional. I would have to say that in all situations that they handled themselves pretty professionally. What we have to do is that if we are going to use them in the future, we really have to manage them which I do not think that we should need to do quite to the detail of our level that I think we need to do. They are professional in working on the project, getting the details, and telling us what is going on. Those type of situations, but we would definitely want to enforce the amount of time. If they say they could finish this in eight weeks, then we would expect them to get done in eight weeks and not 50% longer. We would have to manage it from a time perspective a lot closer. If that is the case, I would reuse them. I think from their perspective, they are putting themselves in this situation purposely because they need to have the work like okay I have finished one place; I do not want to have a slack time. I just want to work and work all the time. In order to do that, they accept projects which may overlap. When they started ours, they were actually finishing up on the other one. Then, something happened with the other project that they could not finish because of late deliver or something was not delivered as expected or they had to return it. Things like this. When they were supposed to start on ours full-time, they were not able to do that because they were still working on this other project. When I look at their point of view to manage your business, they have to do that, but then the customer would suffer like us. They need to hire more people. I guess they trust the people they work with. They do not have to watch over them. I think they work with their subcontractors and other people. They do have their own people but not many, one or two. The subcontractors that they hire, I think they trust them because they have special skills that they do not have. They come and do the work. Their relationship with their contractors that I do not know if they can just hire based on their need at the time and then let the people go when they are able to handle. I think they do not want temporary help. They want to have a long-term relationship with their contractors. I empathize with them because I understand the situation they are in, but at the same time, we are their customers. We are selfish about our own project. So, we want complete attention from them which they are not able to give us.   "

"Fantastic ! Dan and his crew did an absolute professional job on my home. Work was excellent and completed ahead of schedule. His price was very competitive. They used the highest quality materials to ensure it lasted. I've used Miller Home Improvement on many jobs and recommended him many times. Feedback from the people I have referred him to has always been excellent. I will continue to work with them for all of my future home improvements."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

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.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?
