Q: Can I build an in-law suite in my backyard?

• <div><p>In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space. </p></div>

Q: Should a home builder or contractor be licensed and insured?

• <div><p>Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor&rsquo;s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi&rsquo;s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.</p></div>

Q: Which states allow shipping container homes to be built?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won&rsquo;t let you build one.</p><p>The International Code Council (ICC) offers <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ICCG52019">guidelines for home builders</a> on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.</p><p> </p><p></p></div>

Q: How long do shipping container homes last?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Do modular homes go up in value?

• <div><p>Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.</p></div>

"I have a rental property that was struck by a car it went through the living room and brought down the wall. I called Dsquared they fit me in between another project and finished early in order for the renters to be back home under 2 weeks. They kept me informed daily of the progress. There were no issues they walked me through step by step so there was no surprises. The crew was professional from top bottom zero problems. I highly recommend, they will be my first call if I need anymore contracting needs in the future."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"My wife and I are new to the Lima area and recently bought a house that we can slowly work on and build up. I was advised of the company by word of mouth and I am weird when it comes to who I hire and allow in my home. They came out and were very professional, respectful of my home and family, and I appreciated the most that not only did they repair what I had asked they went above and beyond to assist in anything else I needed. I was really glad I called them and received exactly what I was hoping for. I would gladly recommend their services to anyone and will continue to do so."
