Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It’s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

Q: Can you frame a house by yourself?

• <div><p>While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buying or building a house</a> with the guidance of professionals.</p></div>

Q: Is a guest house a bump-out addition?

• <div><p>A guest house is not a bump-out addition. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-bump-out-addition.htm">bump-out addition</a> is a small home addition built onto a preexisting room of your house, like a bay window or walk-in closet. While you can do a bump-out addition to a constructed guest house, a guest is not a bump-out addition. Other common bump-out additions are extra living room seating, space for a bathtub in a bathroom, and extra cupboard space in a kitchen. </p></div>

Q: Is building a new home worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homebuilding-101-learn-what-expect-when-building-home.htm">Building a new home</a> can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder&rsquo;s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to construct a shipping container home?

• <div><p>A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren&rsquo;t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.</p></div>

THey were wonderful! It felt like family. They built most of the home while we were living in Wisconsin. It was as pleasant as building can be! We have had a few problems since, but they come right over to take care of it as soon as we call. Such as a piece of molding sagging, window piece,...

I hired them to build a $80K addition to my house. They took $17000 in deposits from me, gave me unusable drawings that were incomplete so I couldn't get a building permit, and cut down 5 trees outside my house. This took 4 months to achieve. They said they wouldn't be able to complete the...
