"We hired Jon McCoy because of the outstanding work he did at my son's home. We had a leak in our back porch ceiling and discovered it was coming from our chimney. Since we had to replace the ceiling, we decided to replace it with vinyl siding. We also decided to have vinyl siding put up on our front porch ceiling. The work was excellent and was finished on time. Jon McCoy is a man of his word. He returns calls promptly and always arrives on time. His work is excellent, and we will continue to use him in the future. I would recommend him to anyone."

"After looking for a home to buy in 2008 I could not find what I wanted. I then decided to buy a lot and build. I had never built a home before and was very reluctant to do so because of the horrors I had heard from others that built. I was told the key was to find the right builder. I purchased a lot and had plans drawn for the house I wanted (on my own) and then took them to several builders. The prices were much higher than I anticipated. When I met with Tony Mills of Mills Family Properties, he explained why the estimates were so high and recommended that I have the plans revised. He was very up front with me and unapologetic for his recommendations. I followed his advise, making the chages he recommended. Together, we got the price in the range I expected while still getting the house I wanted. I then employed Tony to construct the house. Tony laid out a very specific budget for me before starting construction and explained what that estimate included. He then began construction. All along the way he would visit with me about the budget and carefully explained what was coming so I would stay on budget. When I asked him for something additional, he never said it could not be done, he explained what was needed and what additional cost I would incur. Sometimes I made the changes, sometimes I did not. It took approximately six months for him to complete the house and at no time did we sit idle waiting for work to be done. He was always on top of the work and what was coming next. He had his subs lined up and kept me posted on what I needed to do next. I found Tony to be very direct with me about what he could and could not do and never had to apologize for the work that was done. I like the fact that he did not "blow smoke" and deliver something that he did not promise. The end result was me getting the house of my dreams, excellently constructed at a price that I could afford. The craftsmanship was excellent and I have a gorgeous home...just ask my friends. Tony went to great lengths to make sure the I got the home I WANTED, not something he forced on me. He was careful to find out my wishes, give his advise and then do the work. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BUILD ANOTHER HOUSE USING MILLS FAMILY PROPERTIES.

"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 questions, answered by experts

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.
