"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

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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.
