"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."

Chester and his subs were very efficient, professional and did excellent work. They were always on time and were prepared to work immediately upon arrival, no wasted time. The projects were completed in the allotted time and the work was well beyond our expectations.

I would highly recommend this company and Chester Bachert for any remodel job big or small. We will use him again.

"We hired Blackline Building to add a deck to the back of our house and to renovate our master suite. Sam was so easy to work with. He offered several suggestions that made the process very easy. His crews were very respectful of our property, cleaned up daily and finished the project on time. We could not be happier with the finished product!"

"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."

"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."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

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.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

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?

Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.
