"Excellent work. Outdoor Design build designed and built a large patio area for us a few years ago which we have loved. We hired them to custom build a fireplace this year and couldn't be happy with it. They were able to build the fireplace exactly to our needs, including the stone veneer to match a wall previously built. Excellent work, very responsive, great craftsmanship. We have hired them twice and would do so again."

"We experienced a pungent smell in our washroom and had a technician perform a humidity and leak assessment. He discovered nothing. I reached out to Hometown Restoration and the very next day, Samuel appeared. He said he could perform air, dampness, as well as another complete testing for $300. I understood. Once the team arrived at our house, Samuel told us there's no need to spend extra money. Hometown Restoration's principles and honesty are unparalleled. I can't say enough good things about this company. Hometown Restoration's customer experience is outstanding! Thank you very much!"

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.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’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.
