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."

"I walked up the second flight stairs, everything was clean. When I reached the top landing there were no boxes, no debris, and all evidence that a renovation had taken place was gone. It was the day before the renovation was going to be finished and I was feeling a sense of relief. And I felt a second emotion, a sense of feeling cared for. Working Construction had completed my 100+ year old bathroom renovation on time, in a clean and orderly fashion, at a reasonable price, with hardly any glitches. I started this project with a great deal of trepidation, but the experience turned out to be a first time major renovation rite of passage. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the finished product and have barely used it since fearing I would somehow awaken from a dream too good to be true. With that said the bathroom has been used by others including my sister, brother and guests. Seasoned renovators may view my account of this renovation as overdramatic, but owning a very old grumpy Brownstone who relentlessly hurls obscenities at you in the form of bad plumbing, boiler complaining, cracked walls, poorly insulated windows, creaky unlocking doors, peeling linoleum floors, screaming ugly navy blue tiles, greased up fifty year old orange kitchen cabinets, moldy walls, and many and all matter of home repair nightmares, we could only imagine what would be unraveled when completely gutting out a bathroom. Vince and Harold arrived on a Sunday morning to assess the situation. They were reassuring and listened attentively and intently as I discussed my concerns. They assured me it would all be okay and warned me of any possible problems that we might encounter. Of course these were two businessmen that wanted to close the deal, but I sensed sincerity in their voices, and their faces did not indicate any sneaky salesman tactics. There was No macho posturing which I can not stand. I explained that I was sort of in a time predicament. If we were going to start sooner than later the project had to be done quickly, otherwise we would have to start in the new year. Later that day Vince got back to me with a quote and a timeline. He said they could get it done in one week for 11,000. They had the best offer with the quickest turn around and the best demeanor. I said “Yes.” And we were off. The bathroom was gutted out and the building didn’t collapse. Harold and his crew fiercely attacked demolition and the bathroom was completely gutted out in one day with all materials moved off site. They met their objective. Prior to the renovation the bathroom was composed of pink mauve tiles from floor to ceiling, which were starting to come off the wall. Once the walls were removed mold was revealed. We discovered that starting the whole project turned out to be imperative as the loose tiles that had come off the wall had allowed water to seep through causing mold. Harold showed me the decaying wood once all the walls were eliminated. Our new bathroom consists of white modern subway tiles (4 x 6), a hardwood ceramic tile floor, a round mirror with three lights above, a white cabinet, white toilet, and white sink vanity. To create a larger feeling in what was a very small bathroom Harold expanded the bathroom ceiling. I’m not sure why the original ceiling was only about eight feet high since the apartment ceilings are ten or rather twelve feet high, but Harold raised the ceiling making the bathroom feel more expansive. Not only did Harold replace the light fixture, but he added high hat lights inside the shower stall as well, which added additional brightness reflecting off the white tiles. Seriously, when I saw the new bathroom I was like one of those people on a home renovation show rendered speechless. I can’t describe the overwhelming sense of relief I feel having found Working Construction. The project wound up costing a total of 13,000, which was still under budget from what my sister and I had expected to pay. I have additional projects which I plan on seeking their help for, but more than this Working Construction has given me a clearer sense of the possibilities of this building. This bathroom is the best Christmas present I could have asked for and it was delivered by my Christmas angels at Working Construction."

"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."

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.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

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.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.
