"Ryan has been an amazing person to work with! His knowledge and flexibility are the best I have dealt with in a long time. My wife is skeptical, when it comes to builders and contractors but after meeting him she was a believer and knew just how valuable he would be to us and our new home. Thanks for everything Ryan!"

"I am delighted to have found Jaime’ Quality Home Improvements! He did a total rebuild of our wet bar in the family room and a remodel in the half bath. He did all building of the bar, flooring, installed lighting, wall coverings, electrical, plumbing, etc. His work and attention to detail are amazing. He thinks things through and finds the best solution, which I very much appreciated. He completed the projects in a timely fashion and was very fairly priced. I will use him for other projects I plan to do. I recommend him VERY HIGHLY. Great personality and great person! Thanks Jaime!"

"The job went very well. The person that I spoke to in the office, John, was very knowledgeable, reasonable and helpful. I inadvertently sent the deposit to the wrong address. John didn't complain or change our scheduled install date. When I needed to delay the install (wasn't able to prep the site in time), he accepted it without any complaint. They built the shed on time, and didn't let recent rains affect our spot on the schedule. The builder Bob, was very pleasant and did a quick and professional job. Both Bob and John did a great job and were quite professional: they returned phone calls quickly. So, I do recommend this company."

"If you are looking to add a quality deck to your home, I would highly recommend working with Joseph Nasser. The entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Joseph was the first company to contact me after requesting estimates from a few companies. He and his crew were efficient, professional, and very detail oriented. My existing deck was removed very quickly and then came the building of the substructure. I had done quite a bit of research and had experience with building decks. I was very pleased to see a detailed plan of the substructure and interested in watching it come together. The crew answered my many questions during the entire process and were extremely patient with some last-minute changes I requested on the steps and rail configuration. They went above and beyond to give me the deck of my dreams and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve already made plans to hire Joseph for another upcoming project. This is by far the best experience I've ever had with a contractor."

"I purchased a home at absolute auction and decided that it would be best that the home be completely gutted due to electical concerns before if would be safe to reside in and before we put our other house on the market.  So the project turned into a complete renovation that started early 2009.  We were able to reside in home by mid June 2009.  I started looking for contractors for the project and the drywall contractor I hired referred me to Dave, as all windows  and doors needed to be replaced.  Long story short, Dave saved me in this project as the home required a lot more reconstruction than I had ever imagined.  I realized I became the General Contractor for what pretty much was becoming a new home.  Thank goodness Dave had the skills to reconstruct the home to be sound as it would become our residence.  Although I never hired him as general contractor he "trained" me how to manage this project, that in hindsight I am THRILLED with the outcome of the project.  Dave was PATIENT, and very helpful in helping with every decision for which I recruited his input, however he always stressed that it was my decision.  He is knowledgable he EXCELLED in pointing out things that may result from the different choices I had to make.  Dave was always there when he said he would be and was very flexible about making time for my last minute emergencies so I would meet the dates I have other contractors scheduled to do their work.  I have continued to contract Dave for smaller projects that we do not have the skills to perform ourselves.   Most recently he has resolved a trim issue to a outdoor pavillion that I wanted the finished project to be maintence free.  He reseached what was needed to trim out treated lumber with aluminum as there can be issues with that combination.  He found material to install between the two products to eliminate problems.  I was picking up on construction that my husband did.  Dave knew my FINAL goal was that I would never have to take paint to it, and finished the building to my requirements.  In regard to price, a few jobs I have priced out elsewhere, and I will say that Dave is not always the lowest, however I am comfortable that I will be satisfied with the final outcome and that he will treat our home with respect as it were his own.  That has not been that case with all of the contractors I have hired in other fields.  I do feel he charges fairly for his professionalism and experience.  I would hire Dave again without hesitation for any services he feels he can perform ."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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. 

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.

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’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
