We would like to introduce you to Coventry Additions & Remodeling, LLC. Coventry has been building custom homes since 1995. We handle it all from start to finish. We are fully licensed and insured. All new homes come with a 10-year homeowners warranty. Please call to arrange for an estimate and see what the Coventry difference is all about!

"We worked with Brian and his team at Coventry to turn a tiny 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, single floor "shack" (as my wife put it) in Oakhurst, NJ, into what is seriously the nicest 2-floor (plus full third-floor open storage) home in the neighborhood. 1k sq ft. to >2.5k. We could not be happier with the result, and have been recommending him to family and friends. Brian was meticulous, diligent, forward-thinking (which helped us save money/avoid issues in a lot of areas), and the quality of the work / materials is outstanding (our tenured handyman was just recently highly praising the craftsmanship throughout). Costs were kept under control, despite the inflationary backdrop. We wanted to make a massive open-floor great room, which other contractors said would be too difficult (support beams, load-bearing walls, etc), but Brian made it work. We wanted to raise the ceiling height by 1 ft, which another contractor said would make the project too expensive, but Brian made it work. Similarly, we had ambitions for the added second floor that were not simple, but were guided through all those steps. Late in the project we decided to also redo the kitchen entirely, and Brian helped us budget it in and navigate all the decisions. Cabinets, counter tops, flooring, bathroom details, doors, windows, etc -- we were given great advice and ideas along the way, and transparency on impacts to the budget. We were also steered away from cheap, lower-quality options, as Brian put it: "I am married to this house for the decades ahead, I can't allow you to make decisions that you'll regret." We appreciated having a builder who takes pride in the work. The project took about 8 months from when we got permits (which Coventry took care of... turnkey from architectural plans to the finished home). There were other homes being built/renovated 5-10 minutes away that we noticed started earlier and ended later. Compared to other quotes for the scope of our project, Coventry's all-in price likely falls in-line with the average, but with the result of much greater than average quality work and attention. Would highly recommend Brian and his team for anyone doing a large job on their home or a complete new build."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with MF Builders on a home addition, kitchen remodeling, and bathroom remodeling project, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and truly took the time to understand my vision for the space. The home addition turned out better than I could have imagined, seamlessly blending with the existing structure while adding much-needed space and functionality. The kitchen remodel completely transformed the heart of my home. It now feels open, modern, and incredibly efficient. The attention to detail in the cabinetry, countertops, and lighting really made a difference. As for the bathroom, it went from outdated to absolutely luxurious. The design was both practical and stylish, with quality finishes and fixtures that made it feel like a spa. Throughout the process, the MF Builders team was respectful of my space, kept the work area tidy, and always made sure I was satisfied with each step. What really stood out was their commitment to meeting deadlines and staying within budget. They provided regular updates and were always open to any questions or concerns I had. I am so happy with the final outcome and highly recommend MF Builders to anyone looking to renovate or expand their home. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

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.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

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.
