Customers say: Quick response

"I have used Timco Builders three times now. The sliding glass door replacement was the last. Tim has always been prompt to appointments and dependable and highest quality of work. In addition to excellent work he was very considerate regarding my home. He was very neat in his work and cleaned up after the job was done, or he left for the night to return the following day. I have other things I am going to do in my home in the future and I will always hire Timco Builders."

"It went very well.  He was very detail oriented and there were no hidden costs.  The bathroom turned out even better than we imagined.  We were on vacation when he worked on the bathroom and when we came home our bathroom was nicer than the resort we were staying at!  He had a lot of great ideas and was willing to work with us on what we wanted.  The subcontractors that came in were great as well."

"If you want quality workmanship, consistent and accurate communication, and honest bidding, Scott Padgett of American Made Contractors should be your contractor of choice for your next remodeling project. This is our second time working with Scott; our first project was small - repairing our cement front porch and then tiling it. Our front porch looks beautiful, thanks to Scott Padgett. When we decided to finish our basement, adding a full bathroom, bedroom, living and dining area and kitchenette, Scott Padgett was our first and only choice. As in our first experience, Scott's vision and talent, along with his professional and talented contractors, gave us a stunning addition to our home. If you are looking for a person you can trust to complete your next project, you should put your faith in Scott Padgett of American Made Contractors."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"They were great to work with. The whole team was outstanding about keeping me apprised of the things I needed to know about, and not bogging me down with things that didnâ t really concern me. They did a great job with my difficult timeline, were responsive to any of my concerns or complaints, and went out of their way to make sure I was happy every step of the way. The home is beautiful and I am so in love with it."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
