"If there was a word better than amazing, that is the word I use to describe working with Duane Knight, the owner of UBuiltit. We live in Michigan and found a beautiful lot on a beautiful lake that we just had to have. The downside was the house on that lot was, to put it nicely, a dump! We brought Duane to our site, talked over the vision and the rest is history! He managed the process from start to finish. From tearing the previous “dump” down to celebrating with us as we moved in. Duane let me be as involved as I wanted to be, which was my absolute favorite part. He let me meet the contractors and be apart of the whole process. He was responsive to my thoughts and ideas but also added his input when needed. He restrained us (budget wise) when needed but let us be creative in other ways. He was on site everyday and taught us so many things about the building process as we were first time home builders. He is a family man with great values and morals. I would not recommend anyone BUT Duane and UBuildIt!"

"It went very well!!! Dana ran this as a turnkey operation. I left many of the design details to her. This is a family business with Dana’s husband Rex leading the installation. Within minutes of returning to the MLS, I had a contract on the townhouse for full price. The agent had been checking in on the progress of the remodel and was impressed with the work being done. My real estate agent also checked in and was pleased. I could not be happier with what they accomplished in a short amount of time. Dana was a “godsend” to me."

"I love my "new home". They gave me a great deal and was completely honest about what could be done in my budget without trying to "pad the bill".The guys were professional. The job was done in a timely fashion. The clean up was great. I would definitely hire them again."

"My wife and I are more than pleased with the excellent job of home remodel and room addition provided by Felipe Arce. The hardwood floors in the bedrooms, quartz countertop in the kitchen, and 17’ X 20’ sunroom were professionally installed in an efficient and effective manner. The service and craftsmanship were impressive. Felipe managed the sub-contractors in a very efficient manner and closely monitored their work. All of the workers were respectful of our property and privacy. We really appreciated his response to our requests and willingness to include our laundry room repair after our hot water tank leak that occurred during the project. Felipe’s sense of calm and OK/can do attitude made the process flow smoothly. We found his prices to be fair, accurate, and honest. We strongly recommend hiring Felipe Arce, LLC."

"Last Tuesday (Nov 24th) I was out of the country and my wife woke up to a cold downstairs. Since Yellow Dot was the original installer of the two Trane units, she called the YD office and David came out later that day and sold her $800+ of repairs and PM contracts. He said the work was not finished and needed another part and the office would call her the next day. That did not happen but the furnace was putting out heat. This morning (Friday) the furnace was doing the same thing as before, fan running and no heat.

I called their office twice for a total of an hour and I got their on-hold music and repeating message about how wonderful they are and to hang on for someone to help me and then the line dropped on the second call. I called back a third time not selecting from the menu to see what would happen and I was then given the opportunity to leave a message. I did so at about 10AM today. No call back so I presume they were closed. Finally around 4PM I found the name of the service manager and emailed him. He called within a half-hour and said the answering service should have gotten them the message so something was wrong with their systems. The tech called right after that and noted he had gotten no "on-call" messages from the service and thought that maybe all was well. We arranged to have him come out in the AM as this was not a serious situation with the temps being pretty mild.

So far this is not good and now I am suspect of Trane as well. This same board went bad when it was 3 months old 6.5 years ago. I will update with the conclusion.

UPDATE: Friday, November 27th, Steve came out and tried to "fit" a board into the downstairs furnace with no success.

UPDATE: Monday November 30th, David came out and installed new circuit board in the downstairs unit and it now works.

Conclusion: Seems like much of this 6 day drama could have been prevented if their answering service had not failed them. End of the day, in a service business, if you out-source your customer contact point you might suffer no matter your good intentions.

Matt, Steve and David are VERY customer oriented and capable and for their attitude and focus I have upgraded the overall grade since once they were aware of the issue, they reacted quickly. I hope they get their service provider problems squared away."

"I had a number of various home repairs, some of which were rather difficult--malfunctioning kitchen drawer slides, garage door/tracks that were not originally installed correctly several years ago, and a broken iron gate hinge that someone else had attempted to fix previously without success.  These and other repairs were completed efficiently and effectively with expert results.  I am very pleased with their work and my garage door opens/closes better than ever!  James and his assistant were very courteous and I will definitely call them again when in need of home repair or improvement.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.

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.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.
