From the design to demo to construction the process was smooth and the final result came out looking amazing. Would reccomend them to anyone doing a home project."

"Rey and the team for Sovereign Homes did an amazing job on our complete home remodel including a new addition. This was the second time we used Rey (had previously built an addition for us in our last house) and both times we finished the projects on schedule and were very happy with the quality of the workmanship. Rey was on site every day to manage each phase of the build, and every subcontractor he brought in was respectful and courteous. We managed to live in our house throughout most of the build with two small children and you could tell that the team really cared about keeping a clean and safe jobsite. We've recommended Rey to our neighbor who also just completed an addition. Would highly recommend Rey and team for your home remodeling project."

"Our original vendor disappeared. Harold and his team came in and really fixed all the problems and even worked late nights, sat/sun, to fix and complete the job. They went over and above the requested work and made our new home finally livable. We are grateful to them for everything they did"

"We completely restored our 121 year old stone craftsman and would not have been successful without the team at Building Concepts. They started with the staircase and moved through the entire upstairs, 2 full bathrooms. I frankly wouldn’t trust anyone else with the work and look forward to using them as we move onto the kitchen."

"Once again, MTL Contracted has not disappointed. Absolutely beautiful work and transformed our unfinished basement into a gorgeous living space, including closets, built on bookshelves, home gym, etc. Work is impeccable and done timely as promised. Matt works extremely neatly and cleans up all debris, etc. Couldn't be happier."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

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

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

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.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
