"I highly recommend C&D Custom Log Finishing for any repairs you should need for log home repairs-inside or outside. Our home is not your traditional manufactured log home. It was built in 1980 with 250 year old hand hewed logs. I have used C&D Custom Log Finishing for over 10 years now for anything and everything I need. Some logs have had to be replaced in that period of time and Clarence has someone that personally hand hewed the replacement logs and they look just like the original logs. He keeps you informed during the entire process and is always available for whatever comes up. Also, we have developed a great friendship through the years. So if you’re looking for someone for log home repairs do yourself a favor and call Clarence and his crew. You will not be disappointed!!!"

"I call this young team the miracle workers. They came in and repainted our complete interior. It was beautiful, not a mismark anywhere. Would hire them again and again and would recommend them without fail to anyone who wants painting in their home."

"While they did a great job with the remodel of our previous home, they did a superb job with our new home.  We are very picky and wanted some very custom features like custom made cabinetry, travertine tile, huge outdoor living space, and many other features. Ray Hubbard worked with us for nearly 6 months getting all the finishes just the way we wanted them, and spent endless hours I am sure with all the numbers.
Our beautiful home will be where we retire and we could not be more happy about it.  A few minor mistakes were made along the way, but considering a project of this size it was very understandable.  We informed Ray of the few items we thought were mistakes and he quickly handled the problem and did so to our satisfaction.    I would like to say we would use him again, but he all ready gave us our dream home.  All joking aside, of course we would call on Ray and Legacy if we ever need a great contractor.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

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

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.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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.
