"I wholeheartedly recommend P Bright Construction Corp. We?ve used them to address flood damage, repair and replace the front door our coop and update closets in our own unit. Their flexibility was remarkable. That?s probably what I appreciate most. No build plan is perfect, there will always be a few unforeseen problems. Ezequiel and his crew handled all the unforeseen issues gracefully and recommended great suggestions to deal with these problems. This adaptability demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the final result met my needs, even as those needs evolved. They paid great attention to detail. They understood what you cared about and this shows up in the recommendations they make and the quality of their work. Their estimates are very fair and they completed their work on time and on budget. I highly recommend P Bright Construction Corp. Their flexibility, attention to detail, punctuality & reasonable pricing make them an excellent choice for your next reno project."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

Yes, a home builder should have a builder’s license and insurance. States have different requirements for builder’s licensing and certifications. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review your local home builder licensing guidelines.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Certified” badge. Angi Certified businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
