Q: Are prefabricated homes worth it?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a custom home and a spec home?

• <div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-build-custom-home.htm">Custom homes cost</a> more and take longer to build.</p></div>

Q: Where can you find Craftsman homes?

• <div><p>Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/architects/">architect near you,</a> you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.</p></div>

Q: Are there energy-efficient options when building a cottage?

• <div><p>There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.</p></div>
