"I am comfortable with minor wiring projects (hanging a ceiling fan, installing a new light fixture in an existing spot), but new wiring is not something I'm willing to do.  When I removed my old OTR, I realized that the job was beyond me.  I'd used MI in the past, called them up, and got a team out to the house within a few days.  They were in and out quickly, and did the work well.  I will absolutely use them again.  Thanks!

"We moved into Providence Country Club-Charlotte in January.  We bought the home knowing it needed some serious updates. Our goal was to first remodel the Master Bathroom, Paint the interior walls, and put hardwood in the Master Bathroom We had a budget in mind and did not want to go above that.  So we went on Angies list to get five quotes. Some of quotes that we received were ridiculously high.  Based on the fact that Chuck, owner, at Americas Home Choice was so quick to respond...as he did throughout the project.  Chuck not only came in a great price but He shared with us ideas on how we can save money.  WOW...Finally an honest contractor!!!  I had people with bids 300% higher than Americas Home Choice.  When we met Chuck we were very pleased how experienced he and his crew were.  Chuck always respected our budget and our ideas.
I work quite a bit but my wife stays at home during the day.  Since Chuck's crew would be in and out of my house without me there, I was nervous about a crew of guys i never met and hoped my Wife felt comfortable around them.  To answer,  Chuck crew was the best.  They were the most respectful and professional and I have ever worked with.  Rick, the Floorman, was incredible and build a house from scratch.  What nice guy!   Davey and Tommy were super as well.  Great things is Chuck doesn't use subcontractors...THEY DO IT ALL!    
Our Master Bathroom came out beautiful.  It is amazing how they transformed it into an oasis.  Our cabinets are awesome.  His quality of paint work made the inside of our house look new.  Chuck and his crew could not have been better.  If we saw something we didn't like, Rick would be at our house to correct within a week.  
 We are excited to do more projects in our new house!  Chuck with Americas Choice Contractors will be the only on we call!!!

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits.
