"Martin did a great job on our bathroom remodel. He addressed and fixed all issues that arose. He is very patient and strives for perfection. He provided ideas and color schemes. The bathroom he designed for us is beautiful. We are very happy with his work and will be hiring him again for a kitchen remodel."

"Working alongside Mesa Verde on this new construction project was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout every phase of the build. As the main builder, Mesa Verde maintained strong communication, stayed organized, and consistently delivered high-quality work while keeping the project moving efficiently and on schedule. From Durabuild’s perspective as project manager, the collaboration was seamless. Mesa Verde’s leadership team was proactive, solution-oriented, and highly responsive whenever coordination or adjustments were needed. Their commitment to quality and teamwork made a significant impact on the success of the project and created a positive working environment for everyone involved. We truly value the partnership and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Mesa Verde again. They are a dependable and highly capable builder that we would confidently"

"Felipe and all of his employees were great! Did a big remodel on our master bath and moved bravely from the 70s to the 21st century! Huge walk in shower and custom vanity is gorgeous! Felipe and Art checked in with us on all decisions and made some excellent recommendations. Finished within the timeline discussed. We have another bathroom to go and will definitely be calling Professional Contracting Builders!"

"We were extremely happy with the whole process.  Ramon came and gave us an estimate the day we called even though he was in Gallup that morning.  Chris and Sergio arrived as scheduled to start the work.  We were concerned the pillars might be load bearing, but Sergio and Chris quickly showed that was not the case and they assured us our roof would not cave in.  Ramon, Chris, and Sergio all were very professional and made sure that we were satisfied with the work. Chris came back on day 2 and finished the job. Ramon told us from the beginning it would be a 2-day job. Chris was diligent about cleaning up each day. We recommend D&R Services and would definitely hire them again.

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

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.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.
