"We were new to the Wilmington area and at a loss for who to use as a contractor for our master bath and kitchen remodel. After meeting with several contractors, I selected Richmond Homes based on the attention to detail on the proposal, honest feedback given during those first meetings, the realistic timeline to completion and an overall sense that quality work would be done within my budget and within the timeline we established. Chad and Richmond Homes DID NOT DISSAPPOINT! They were professional and knowledgeable. They worked hard, were always on time and did impeccable work. I would recommend them for any job you have no matter how big or how small. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Out of all the contractors we have hired over the years they are absolutely second to none!"

"Overall, Victor is a quality builder and I am very satisfied with my home. Recently there was an issue with a leaking window. Victor came and took a look and then sent someone to repair it. This is 6 years after my home was built. I'm thrilled to have it fixed without having to try and find someone on my own. Love my house."

"Mike was very good to work with, professional, timely and considerate. Mike used top notch contractors and our home was completely stick built, no prefab trusses were used. Our custom built home is beautiful with details that compliment each room and the outside as well. Mike made suggestions we didn't think about and the outcome was perfect. We highly recommend Mike for your build."

"JOB DONE WAS EXCELLENT - THEY CLEANED UP THE AREA OF OLD CEDAR SHINGLES; INSTALLED TYVEK AND INSTALLED PVC RAKE AND REPLACED ANY CEDAR SHINGLES MISSING OR DAMAGED AROUND THE HOUSE. BRIAN AND STEVE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF INSTALLING THE NEW CEDAR SHINGLES AND PVC TRIM ON ONE SIDE OF THE SALT BOX HOME THAT WAS IN THE SUN AND TWO GABLE END AWNING WINDOWS. ANY ITEM THAT WAS ON THE HOME LIKE THE CENTRAL A/C LINES THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE HOME WAS PUT  BACK IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER. THEY EVEN PUT TRIM AROUND MY UTILITY BOXES A NICE TOUCH.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CONTRACTOR! GOOD QUALITY WORK. WE FOUND THAT THE ORIGINAL BUILDER NEVER PUT ANY FLASHING ON THE CHIMNEY. THEY INSTALLED OVER 100 FEET OF LEAD FLASHING AND OVER 13 BUNDLES OF CEDAR SHINGLES. THE CONTRACTOR WAS FROM CAPE COD BUT THEY WORK ALL OVER  NEW ENGLAND. I DID HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO DO THE WORK BUT GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.
THANK YOU CHARLIE, HOPE WE CAN HAVE YOU COME BACK AND INSTALL THAT DECK. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE TIME TO DO THIS JOB.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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?

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

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.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.
