"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."

"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."

"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."

"Mr. Hargrove was extremely prompt and professional when first contacted to make a bid.  His initial evaluation was thorough and his bid well itemized.  There was additional damage found as wood from affected areas were removed, his team reported it immediately and the bid was adjusted accordingly.  Mr. Hargrove was very intentional and deliberate about keeping in constant contact with us and all the monetary adjustments were very reasonable.
 His team was very responsive to questions and observations as the work was being done.  Extra care was also taken to clean up after the work was completed.  Though Mr. Hargrove was very professional in every other way, it would have been easier for us if they accepted major credit cards.  Overall, we would whole-heartedly recommend Hargrove's Home Improvement and we thank Mr. Hargrove and his team for an extremely difficult job well done.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

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.

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.

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.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits
