"Good initial contact, fair pricing of the roof and other work.  Very professional crew and foreman.  Good cleanup afterward.
This was for a rental property I purchased and had redone.  I did some of the work myself and needed some extra help inside, which they were able to do for me.  They did a good job and did it on time.  Pricing was similar to other bids.  The owner was very responsive and followed up on the work.
I would use them again for roofing and general contractor work.

"It couldn't have gone more fabulously.  Tony guided us through the process of picking out everything we needed and stayed within budget.  He brought in the tile guy and the granite fabricator - all were wonderful to work with.  Everyone was very professional, they showed up when they said they would be there and the job was completed on schedule.  We were thrilled with the results and would definitely contact Mills Family Properties for our next home renovation project!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

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?

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
