Q: What is the most expensive phase of building a house?

• <div><p>Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it&rsquo;s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between <b>$20,000 and $50,000</b> on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it&rsquo;s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for <b>$3,000,</b> while others cost upwards of <b>$150,000</b>. </p></div>

Q: Should a home builder or contractor be licensed and insured?

• <div><p>Yes, a home builder should have a builder&rsquo;s license and insurance. States have different requirements for builder&rsquo;s licensing and certifications. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review your local home builder licensing guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; badge. Angi Certified businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What size of house is considered a cottage?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is a structural engineer the same as a builder?

• <div><p>No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.</p></div>

Great experience working with plaster and stucco solutions. I would rate the experience 5 stars for sure. We have done a couple of commercial buildings and houses. Always on time and their prices are always competitive.

A good experience overall. The salesman explained our options for replacing our door in detail, communication during the building and scheduling process was on point, and the technician was very professional. I'd recommend contacting them for your project needs.

Eric was wonderful. The existing undersized gutters we had were causing one side of the building to flood when torrential downpours were overtaxing what was there. They up-sized to a 6" covered gutter system with an additional downspout and replaced a lot of rotten wood. Love the color, they...

"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."
