"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."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"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."

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

Building a new home 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’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.
