Q: What is the hardest stage in building a house?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Do general contractors require a down payment for projects?

• <div><p>Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-reasonable-down-payment-contractor.htm">A reasonable down payment for a contractor</a> is <b>10% to 25% </b>of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. </p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to renovate or build a new house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">Renovating or remodeling</a> an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That&rsquo;s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to construct a shipping container home?

• <div><p>A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren&rsquo;t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.</p></div>

Q: What is a good way to save money on a live-in or vacation treehouse build?

• <div><p>Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-composting-toilet-and-does-it-work.htm">composting toilets</a>, rainwater collection, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/want-conserve-water-try-using-grey-water.htm">gray-water sinks</a>, you save money and help the environment. </p></div>

"They didn't complete the Gazebo and the siding is crooked and you can see the cracks on it. Except not completing the gazebo roof. It needs to be screwed down because it flaps when the wind blows and that is how I found out."
