"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

"Fantastic coordination with the owner Marc - he was prompt in providing an estimate.  Over and above expections in his ability to adjust the schedule for my needs.  The crew was on time, courteous, highly skilled and they cleaned the job site after the work was complete.  When the bill came up it was at the agreed price.
I had other estimates and MI Electric was the best price, value and service.  Would hire these folks again for any sized project!!

"Contract was signed Oct. 15 2014, to be completed in 90 days. Finish was Feb.10 2015. Slight delays with weather and holidays. I was kept aware of all schedules. The builder used subcontractors. All were very professional and friendly. The work was well done. I was guided thru the process of a new construction with patients and reassurance. 
 The construction consisted of demolition and removal of the old garage. The ground was built up and prepared for a concrete slab, The framing and roughed in plumbing and electric were done within a week. Gary the GC made sure the property looked neat and clean after construction. It was a very smooth build.

"Harris & Co showed up on location with all of the materials (minus the metal which was agreed to) on time. Start to finish took them a day and I must say I got exactly what I was looking for. As soon as the metal comes in it will be installed. High quality, attention to detail and easy to work with. They exceeded my expectations. Very pleased with their services. No surprises. I would highly recommend them and will work with them more in the future."

"We were impressed with Sandro's presentation and high standards of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. He stood out among all those we interviewed. We researched this process and his company thoroughly, even visiting at least five homes he had worked on and speaking the owners, as well as calling a number of others. Everyone was exceptionally satisfied. Sandro allowed us to split the front and back of the house in order to make it more affordable to us, the back will be done in late Spring. The only problem was that they did not show up on the day they said they would. We had a deadline of that Friday for a corporate event at our home which they had ensured they would meet. The next day it was a very late start. After explaining the situation again, I found that Sandro and his foreman Ishmael were willing to do whatever it took to meet the deadline they committed to and make us happy. This negative turned into the greatest positive to display their work standards. They worked so hard, carefully and cleanly, even making more work for themselves by putting all refuse and siding debris into the backyard so the house would look as good as possible for the event. They worked as if it was their own corporate event. We had rain that week which meant their time was constrained even further, to their disappointment. I can't praise them enough for how hard they worked to make up for lost time and not at the expense of quality. They had a painter come out and cover the non-vinyl areas around the door, painted the front door for nothing and did numerous small touches to make it all look fabulous. The job was not finished until the following week, but priority was given to the things that would be noticed by our guests. It ended up looking clean and complete for the event. Sandro saw things on the first walk through that we would not have known were less than perfect. All walk through items were corrected. One spot on our gutter remains compressed a little bit by the ladder and the yard was a muddy mess afterwards due to the rain, but that was a result of how hard they were working in less than ideal weather conditions. The house looks great, the match in color between remaining Masonite and the new vinyl siding is undetectable, for a perfect blend. Furthermore, they worked quietly and respectfully, with no inappropriate demeanor, language or behavior. Even as we were quite concerned at the beginning, they reacted calmly and made amends for the indifference of missing the first day (due to one person's attitude, not the company) several times over. We've had our share of lousy, incompetent and dishonest contractors. Sandro is the guy who makes you wish every contractor and team of workers was like him. Feel free to come take a look at our home and ask us more. We hope Sandro's company thrives."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.
