"Project was well timed and progressed seamlessly through various stages - demolition, framing, installation, finish carpentry and painting so that we lacked access to the second floor for only 1 night. Planning including multiple house calls for precise measurements to maximize dimensions, selecting style options and consulting with lumberyard for stair dimensions and details. The crew was experienced, took pride in their work, and did not skimp on quality or details, independent of time."

"They did an excellent job.  The exterior work was performed a couple of weeks ago, when the weather was nicer, and it was done in a couple of days. (I should note that they have not finished it, to wait until spring to tidy it up and do finishing work on it.)  We have had rain since that work was done, and the family room was dry.  No musty or dampness to the room at all anymore.
The interior work went really well too. He estimated about 3 days, it took 4.  The floor is a bit springy, due to extra insulation and padding being put down underneath it, which is very nice for a floor on a slab. It came out looking excellent.
Dave and his workers were very respectful of us and our home, and enjoyed talking with our 5 year old son who was super interested in watching them.  When it was possible (and safe) they let him watch, and chatted with him.  The guys really couldn't have been nicer.  One day, I was headed to a garage to get my car's starter motor replaced, and one of the guys helped me get it started. He insisted to help me (by going down on the ground and hitting my starter motor with a hammer, which did get it working) even though I tried to get him to not.  
They also put the laminate on a few steps leading down to the family room.  I was unsure about how they were going to do this, and at first was unsure about their suggested solution, but in the end, I really like the look of what they did.
It's been a few days since they finished, I did have to go over some bits here and there, along with the laminate floor to pick up any settled construction dust, which I expected to do.  We've moved furniture back into the room, and it's easily the nicest room in the house now."

"They did an excellent job with painting the interior of our house. We had a really high wall in the stairway, and they had no problem getting to the top of it and did a great job! Would hire them again!"

Custom Home Builders 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.

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.

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. 

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.
