"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!"

"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."

"Great! John has done many projects for us in the past but this was a major one. He was our general contractor for the entire project. We basically gutted our old kitchen, dining room and living room, raised the ceiling two and a half feet, and then built an addition that connected to the opened up space. He found us excellent subcontractors for every phase of the construction, e.g. the architect, framers, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, demolition, drywall, spackling, insulation, carpenters, roofing, gutters, flooring, tiling, countertops, painting, heat and air conditioning, motorized shades and home theater installation, you name it, he found us a top notch expert. Throughout the construction John was responsive to all of our questions and concerns and he took care to make sure that the job was always done right. His crew was always helpful and they would go out of their way to help and make sure everything was neat and tidy at the end of each day. But the most important thing Valeri Construction brings to the job is confidence that you will get the highest quality of work in the end. John oversaw the subcontractors who built us a brand new kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, sinks, lighting and appliances. Another thing that we really appreciated was John's skill as a master carpenter. He and his crew installed a cedar ceiling throughout the entire indoor space, an entire wall of built in oak bookshelves with a rolling library ladder, along with a beautiful deck with ipe wood flooring. They also made extensive improvements on the exterior of the house, putting up cedar shingles, a bay window with a copper roof, and a spiral staircase that allows access to the deck. We are very happy with the end result and we highly recommend Valeri Construction for any home improvement project. John and his workers are a pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed if you hire him for a project."

"Wonderfully. The Al-Arsh crew is always reliable, prompt, professional and highly-skilled. Their work is always done exceptionally well and the owner, Malik, always makes sure it is finished to perfection. Even when we needed something tweaked or if plans changed after they finished, they come and do whatever is needed when needed, cheerfully. Their prices are more than fair and they guarantee their work. We have had Al-Arsh do work for us over the years totaling at least $250K and we ALWAYS chose them."

"112 Home Improvement was recommended to me by my cousin.  They had remodeled his home and he was very happy.   We called John about a year before we wanted to begin.  We didn't even know exactly what we wanted.  He offered to come out and help us plan this project.  Once we figured out what we wanted to do John brought out his architect (Tom) and we started the process.  Plans, permits, surveys, variances the list is endless.  I am glad we did this well ahead of time.  Finally 9 months later (thanks town of brookhaven) we had everything needed to begin.  The work began in March and continued through June.  Everything went as good as can be expected.  There were some problems here and there but nothing that we were not prepared for.  In the end our home is beautiful.  We extended and remodeled our kitchen and created a great room, finished our basement, added a master bathroom, replaced our roof and our siding as well as added a deck.  My family and I could not be happier.  We absolutely love our home.  Thank you John and company!!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building 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.

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. 

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.
