"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."

Customers say: True professional

"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!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

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.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.
