"I can’t say enough about how amazing my new home office turned out. Jose and his team went above and beyond to create the most beautiful room in my house. The craftsmanship, attention to detail and constant communication and updates on progress far exceeded any expectations I could have had. This new room looks like something that should be in a magazine! If you’re looking for someone to hire for any kind of remodeling or home project, go with JLC. You won’t be disappointed."

"Mac provided an estimate within a few days of our request. Due to some weather concerns we had to be flexible in scheduling the work. Mac arrived with his crew as scheduled. He was very pleasant, professional and answered my questions and concerns at once since he was present while the work was in progress. He completed the work as agreed. The crew on the job were pleasant as well. All debris (from removal of the old roof and new roofing scraps) was cleaned up and carted away when the job was completed. I would definitely contact Mac at American Home Solutions again in the future. He and his crew were a pleasure to work with."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
