Q: What is the smallest house you can legally build?

• <div><p>This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements&mdash;windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/indoor-air-quality-testing-checklist.htm">indoor air quality</a> are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don&rsquo;t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you&rsquo;ll need to check to ensure you aren&rsquo;t violating any local or state laws with your build.</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: What is the difference between a carriage house and a garage?

• <div><p>A carriage house combines garage or storage space with living space, usually in two stories, while a garage generally does not offer any living space. Carriage houses are built with plumbing, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, which are usually features not found in traditional garages. Building codes and insurance requirements greatly differ between the two types of structures, and may make it difficult to convert a garage to a carriage house.</p></div>

Q: Do shipping container homes hold value?

• <div><p>Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they&rsquo;ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you&rsquo;d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. </p></div>

Q: Where can you find carriage houses?

• <div><p>In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.</p></div>

Our house is a Circa 1800's home. So any repair work can be a bit tricky. Lallier Bros. Repaired the stanchions to our front porch as the bottoms had all rotted out over the years. They did an amazing job, the work looks better than the original and holds true to the look of this old home. LOVE...

It came out really nice. I used an old vanity with a dark walnut color and a cream Corian counter top from a local salvage store and Scott found an old door original to the house in the basement and used it as the bathroom door.

John Eaton (JNE Construction) and his crew were fantastic. They showed up on time every day and worked a full day. Even though it was a messy job tearing out most of the corner seams of sheet rock installed not 10 yrs ago by a previous contractor, re-taping, and sanding, they cleaned up after...
