"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."

"Outstanding work, what ever you need done they were able to complete it at a timely manner. I needed a safe and affordable deck and they did just that. Plus Scott and his team went out of their way to over build to make sure we were safe but also make it aesthetically pleasing. Anything that came along they kept us informed and make sure we were educated to make the right decisions. Very pleased with their work and can’t wait to call them back to do more home Reno. You won’t be disappointed."

"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!"

"We ve been our home for 4 months and couldn t be more pleased with it. Lace took our dreams and made them a reality within our budget and time line. The majority of the vendors were detailed and customer oriented. They kept the esthetics of our home in mine during every step. Lastly, when it comes to doing our phase two of our dream home as well as for our vacation home, without a doubt, we will be using Lace V Construction........."

"This is a great Veteran owned and operated business which takes pride in it's work. I hired Seth Kolby, owner of KolbyCraft Builders, LLC, to repair portions of my three-rail split rail fence and install new fencing in other areas along with new gates. Seth is an on site, hands on owner who is easy to work with and is true to his word. Seth, Michael Morin and a dedicated crew completed the fencing project on time and on budget. I am very pleased with the work of KolbyCraft Builders. As a Charlotte native I've hired a number of companies to do repairs on my 40+ year old house and grounds and, so far, none have equaled Kolbycraft Builders for speed of completion and quality of work. I unconditionally recommend this group of fine professionals and will personally hire them for a variety of other work since fencing is just one of their many areas of expertise. Full disclosure: I do not work for or have any financial interest in KolbyCraft Builders and, as far as I know, I am not related to any person associated with them. My experience with KolbyCraft Builders has been entirely positive and if it wasn't I would certainly say so."

"I hired KP Builders for my two story addition. Alpesh built an office room and media room down and upstairs. The finish was perfect that was appreciated by everybody who visited my house. He gave me lot of creative and very useful ideas to make most use of the space. He took care of the permits, quality material and kept me posted on the plan and stayed on top all the time. I would highly recommend his services to anyone."

"Gianfranco and his team did an excellent job rebuilding our front porch. They had the expertise and kept at the task. They put in new joists, new tongue-and-groove slats for the floor, and constructed four new railings and four new columns. They painted all of it. They also built us a fine new brick stairs. The work was done on time, too. Gianfranco was a pleasure to work with and explained everything so we could understand it. Jenny from the office was always on top of things with scheduling and billing. The price was very good and fair. I highly recommend Canelli for your next porch or deck project."

"EXCELLENT craftsmanship. Super high quality work. Very communicative - never ghosted us or left us in the dark. Five stars on all of that!! The only reason I don't give 5 stars overall is the timeline. We were originally quoted 8-10 weeks for our screened porch and it took a lot longer. There were things out of his control that contributed to that, so we understood. And again, he kept us in the loop. He also built us a new shed during that time and that slowed down the progress of the porch as well. We loved Calvin and would be happy to have him do more work for us."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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. 

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.
