"This was my first major home improvement project, and I was nervous going in. Mollie and Catalino were exceptionally polite, professional, and patient, working with me every step of the way and ensuring I knew what was going on. My new deck looks great, and I'm very pleased with their work."

"At the end of the kitchen remodel Walt did to our complete satisfaction, Walt and the countertop guy worked to figure out if we could use the unused quartz for two new vanities. They worked it out and we are very happy with the results. Walt and his workers are very conscientious and extremely clean - almost no dust after all the demolition for both the bathroom and kitchen. Highly recommended!"

"I’m so glad I found Vivid Homes for a remodel, Rich went above and beyond with every request. I would refer friends and family this company. His price was in between some of my quotes but reading customer reviews sold me in this company. I will be using him again. -Chad C"

"Gianfranco and his team did an excellent job rebuilding our front porch. They had the expertise and kept at the task. They put in new joists, new tongue-and-groove slats for the floor, and constructed four new railings and four new columns. They painted all of it. They also built us a fine new brick stairs. The work was done on time, too. Gianfranco was a pleasure to work with and explained everything so we could understand it. Jenny from the office was always on top of things with scheduling and billing. The price was very good and fair. I highly recommend Canelli for your next porch or deck project."

"I needed new floors put down in my kitchen and Jake battled the bad weather and got the job done and done very well I might add, he even found an electrical issue with my dishwasher when he pulled it out and fixed it at no extra charge. Excellent workmanship and professionalism. I will definitely be using him again for future projects. Highly recommend!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

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.
