"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."
"Choice Home Warranty responded right away and had a technician out to me the following morning. The situation was immediately addressed. The company cares about the customer's satisfaction."
"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 term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.
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.
In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.
