"Everything from quote to finished basement went very well thanks to our on-site project manager Nate and the owner Chris. Once the project started Nate was very communicative about the basement layout and as the work progressed we talked each day to make sure everything was coming together well. Nate and his team were very skilled and accommodated many customizations in our Entertainment room and gym. I would highly recommend Remark Construction for any type of remodel. Our basement build out was larger than normal and the team was very organized and handled all challenges to create a wonderful space for our family to enjoy for years."

"Bottom Line Up Front: if you need a contractor to pour concrete for patio, garage, etc. look no further. Jim and his crew at Powerhouse were absolutely amazing. I say this as I was (embarrassingly so) that nightmare customer who could not make up his mind and thankfully Jim was right there to calmly lead me thru various solutions for my patio. I needed a patio extension so that can build a gazebo on it next month and he designed options that met all the future project's requirements without breaking the bank. He really knows his business. Jim is not only patient, but trustworthy too. He talked me out of a very expensive approach that I had asked for my patio by explaining that for what I was going to use it for, a less costly option would actually serve me better in the long run. Oh and remember I said I couldn't make up my mind. Well...halfway through the initial phase of the project I changed the dimensions and lay out of the patio twice. Instead of getting frustrated with me (the crazy customer), he said and I quote "no problem my friend, we will make it happen...that is what a good contractor does." In addition, his crew was very professional and respectful, and when they were finished with the job they left the job site pristine. I was very impressed in how Jim mentored these young men. To wrap this up, I was very impressed with the end product as it was very well done and looked incredible. At the end of the day, in spite of my indecision and two crazy change orders midstream, the project was completed on time and on budget. I would recommend Jim and his crew at Powerhouse anytime."

"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"

"The project was to refinish existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Rick and Chuck are very easy to work with. They both have years of experience in the industry and it shows in their work. They provided a preliminary quote over the phone and followed up with a visit. They provided helpful tips. We are very happy happy with the end result and would definitely use New Age again."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.
