"James Agate was the perfect contractor for us! He helped guide us through our decisions on tile, fixtures, etc. The fact that he is qualified to do all the work himself was a plus for us. His workmanship was outstanding, he was careful with our home and cleaned up after himself, daily. We would highly recommend him!"

"Classic Construction was the last of 4 estimates I was getting for various work we wanted done. Frank spent close to two hours with us that night going over everything. He was the ONLY person to make suggestions to us that actually made more sense. Frank was at my home when he said he'd be & didn't leave until whatever he was working on was done & everything was cleaned up. I would absolutely recommend Classic Construction.....Frank does beautiful work & he's a really, really nice guy!!"

"We hired MHI Home Improvements to renovate our entire Kitchen in Bethpage, NY. We are so happy with the work ethics and final product. His staff would sweep every day before they ended for the day and make sure they left everything clean and tart early on time the next day. The entire job was finished timely and we get compliments all the time. My wife and I are more than happy to recommend MHI Home Improvements for any of your home improvments!"

"This review is for experience of getting quote only - Pros: - Responsive by text and accessible by email - A - Reasonable pricing for some work, though was able to accommodate overall budget (~15K) - C Cons: - Attitude: came off as dismissive towards "small" projects (15K), lacking professionalism - D - May not be best option if looking for design ideas or services beyond just paying for labor Got quotes from Quality Renovations on two separate occasions. Both times, the liaison was responsive via email and phone/text. However, ended up not going with them due to 1) lack of follow up the first time and 2) poor attitude the second time. Quotes provided were reasonable for the most part (may not be the best price you are going to get piecemeal, but able to stay within a reasonable budget), so could be right contractor if you have a job where you are just looking for someone to do the work. Not your best options if you are also looking for suggestions for design ideas/suggestions or beyond bare bones service (attitude was dismissive toward 'small projects'). While renovations in general can be a painful process, and level of customer service varies widely, no one appreciate poor attitude especially when customer was very reasonable and accommodating in requests throughout the process."

"Gary and the team did a great job. My wife wanted a timber frame look to the front entrance and the guys created an amazing custom look. Gary made some design suggestions along the way, and we think they really enhanced the overall look. This is the 4th or 5th time we have used Kentstruction and I cannot say enough great things about them."

"I was very impressed with John's knowledge of Carpentry, he had to come up with a solution to replace my linen closet door which was old and did not function anymore , this door could not be purchased at Home Depot etc., John takes pride in his work and I was very happy with the finished product even though it took several months ... John always responded by text to keep me updated about my custom door (back ordered) .. I definitely recommend him .. and will have him back to do other projects for me."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.
