"Anthony and his crew were friendly and professional throughout the whole project. Anthony gave us a clearly broken down estimate prior to starting the work and we were very confident in his work from start to finish. He and his crew did an excellent job and we would absolutely use him again for future projects. His prices were reasonable and comparable to other quotes we received-he provided us with a clear payment schedule over the course of the project, communicated with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to give us tips and additional info that was helpful to us as new-ish homeowners. Would absolutely recommend."

"I highly recommend this company. Mark and his crew were professional and responsible. The job was completed on time and to my complete satisfaction. He was conscious of my budget and tried to keep me on track. Always prepare for some unexpected hiccups which are common with older homes. But even with this, my timeline was as promised. My kitchen is now completely functional and beautiful."

"We purchased a new construction home in Hicksville built by Sun Luxury Homes, and the quality is simply unmatched. A close friend bought a new build from another builder around the same time, and the difference is night and day. From the craftsmanship to the materials, everything in our Sun Lux home feels solid, high-end, and built to last. Ace and his team don?t cut corners ? the finishes, layout, and overall attention to detail are far superior to anything we?ve seen locally. Sun Luxury Homes has no real competition. If you want true quality and value, this is the builder to trust."

"An amazing experience! I was constantly involved with the decisions being made and was always comfortable with the company itself. I was continuously updated on due dates, payments needed and actuality of each situation. Amazing communication between each and every contractor. I loved how my house looked by the end of it and would highly recommend Strategic Operational to anyone!"

"Romeo performed an emergency roof repair and dealt with the problem to it's conclusion. He is a man of his word. I subsequently hired him to do brickwork on my home. Both jobs were done professionally to my satisfaction. I recommend Romeo."

"My wife and I DO NOT use anyone who is not on Angie's List so we understand the importance of having accurate, fair reviews. We found Cary on Angie's List with overall great feedback on jobs he had done so we called him in for an estimate. Despite being very busy, he made the time to come over on a Saturday morning. He had previously dropped by and assessed the damage from the outside but needed to see it from the inside to ensure he could judge it accurately. After 15 minutes, our fears were realized and he said he would need to remove the cedar impression siding and remove the roof and replace it with a different system because the pitch wasn't steep enough. 
Within 48 hours, he provided a quote for his crew to come out and get the work done in a single day which was completely reasonable. He completed the work (guaranteed) as promised and left the site immaculate. He took pictures of the issue, of job progress and of the completed job. He mentioned he went around and filled some other issues he noticed while he was waiting for his crew to wrap up, no charge at all. He then discounted the quoted, agreed price 5% for angie's list deal I wasn't even aware of. Have you ever heard of a contractor accept less than an agreed price? Me neither.
Angie's List is a great resource for people to share experiences. I think the contractors who are honest and reasonable should be applauded too. We have been on the receiving end of some really lousy service so this was a new experience having someone do what they promised to do. Cary and his crew are the best in Monmouth County. We already have him pricing out finishing a storage space and will use him to build our deck in the spring. I cannot recommend Cary enough and you can reach me through Cary if you'd like to see his work firsthand.

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.

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.
