"Owner Junior Green was a friendly, honest fellow who was reliable, worked hard, did a very good job, and left the site clean. My job was painstaking in places and access was a bit tricky, but no problem for Junior. He mostly worked alone and cut no corners. He started with the foundation and outside of masonry wall, which looked great. We then ran into weather problems and my dissatisfaction with colors chosen from misleading Sherwin Williams color samples, which put him behind schedule and I had to suspend the project due to going out of town. I could have switched painters then but did not. When he returned he worked steadily and finished my project in less than the expected time. I am very pleased with the outcome. My only gripe is that he does not have an account with Lowe's, where I preferred to buy because they sell in small cans to try out different colors. He says he does not like their paint but they carry Cabot and Valspar so I don't get it. I now own several cans of unused stain and did not get a painter's discount on all materials. Also, he is not cheap. Still, I recommend Clean Hands and will be a return customer."

"If there was a word better than amazing, that is the word I use to describe working with Duane Knight, the owner of UBuiltit. We live in Michigan and found a beautiful lot on a beautiful lake that we just had to have. The downside was the house on that lot was, to put it nicely, a dump! We brought Duane to our site, talked over the vision and the rest is history! He managed the process from start to finish. From tearing the previous “dump” down to celebrating with us as we moved in. Duane let me be as involved as I wanted to be, which was my absolute favorite part. He let me meet the contractors and be apart of the whole process. He was responsive to my thoughts and ideas but also added his input when needed. He restrained us (budget wise) when needed but let us be creative in other ways. He was on site everyday and taught us so many things about the building process as we were first time home builders. He is a family man with great values and morals. I would not recommend anyone BUT Duane and UBuildIt!"

Let me just begin by saying that Dana and Rex are very nice people, sweet and friendly as can be.  That being said, I would never use them again. 

 We first contacted them in the middle of Oct. about doing the work.  We explained what we wanted and the time line we wanted it done in.  The only thing we were very specific about was having the porch done by Christmas as this was a gift that we were giving each other and we wanted it done for the holidays.  They told us they would be able to have the whole job (porch, kitchen and bathroom) done by the first week in Dec.  My husband and I both questioned that, but they insisted it was doable. We gave them the 1st installment the 1st wk in Nov. Let's jump forward.... the 1st wk in Dec. came and went and they had barely started.  They blamed this on delays caused by the county inspectors and the availability due to the Thanksgiving holiday of the custom glass windows for the porch. Skip now to the week of Christmas....  we've got a gazillion workers in here, there's dust everywhere, the master bath is torn up and we're having kids back home for Christmas.  Shower tile was installed incorrectly and had to be torn out and they ran out of tile for the porch which was a special order that had to be reordered.  Needless to say Christmas came and went with nothing being finished.  It was a HUGE disappointment.

An additional snafu that was not their fault was the kitchen sink.  We had ordered a Kohler farmhouse sink through Amazon that arrived damaged beyond use and because of trying to deal with Amazon and the company that had supplied the sink we lost almost a month trying to get another sink.  When we asked Dana and Rex to locate another sink for us, that became another mess; eventually they just gave up and the job fell to my wonderful husband who found the exact sink we needed by making 1 phone call to a supply store in Raleigh. 

In the end we are at the 3rd week in Jan. and we're finally finished.  To be fair, the rooms turned out exactly as I had hoped and we're really happy with everything.  So to really sum up; DHR has terrible time management skills, they order the bare minimum of materials needed without considering possible damaged pieces or other contingencies (we had to wait for additional bathroom tile, porch tile and hardiplank for the exterior of the sunroom and bricks for the foundation) and their subcontractors aren't always careful about what they're doing (especially the tile people who do not speak any English, so trying to communicate with them was impossible without their supervisor being onsite, hence the bathroom mess). So that being said, if you don't have a firm deadline and you don't mind living in a mess and you're available to supervise the work everyday, go for it because the final product looks amazing.

"The actual roofing job in 2014 went fine. We were pleased with the initial work and the price. However, the company’s follow up is sorely lacking. They responded when we had a concern about some of the new roofing within a couple of weeks. Our second issue it took much longer to get a response from them. Now in 2019, we have been trying to get them to come and check out our roof for hail damage. We can’t get anyone to call us. Just some texts and passing off of responsibility. Their customer service is poor."

"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."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.

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.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.
