"Mabrey Roofing stepped in and helped us through the entire process of getting a new roof following storm damage. Sean Mabrey worked closely with us to prepare and submit an insurance claim for the new roof, and remained very responsive and informative throughout the entire job. Following an insurance adjusters ratification of the claim, Sean’s team started work with no delay. They were professional, fast, and clean. We have four kids and a dog. Sean’s team took special care to ensure a thorough cleanup after completion so no nails of debris remained for the little ones to step on. Sean’s customer service and work were excellent. In the event we need a new roof again in the future, we will definitely be calling Mabrey Roofing."

"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!"

"Well, until they left. Randy was to return to 1) replace a cast iron shower pan that cracked during installation 3) fix the buckled vinyl flooring his crew put in one bathroom and the pantry and 3) mount a chimney cap. Never did. But the worst is that Randy took a 200 year old slab of old-growth pine (approximately 30" wide by 42" long by 2.5" thick) salvaged from my great-great-grandparents' home and promise me a coffee table. TWO YEARS LATER I CAN'T EVEN GET THE SLAB BACK."

"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!!!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

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, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
