Can an ADU be bigger than your house?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Is an A-frame home cheaper to build than a traditional house?

• <div><p>An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between <b>$100 to $200 per square foot</b>, which is comparable to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">cost of a traditional home</a>. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable contractor?

• <div><p>Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you&rsquo;ve hired. That&rsquo;s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it&rsquo;s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-working-through-any-issues-your-contractor.htm">Issues with your contractor</a> can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.</p></div>

Q: How do I finance a house teardown and rebuild?

• <div><p>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&mdash;there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work. </p></div>

Q: What is the hardest stage in building a house?

• <div><p>The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. </p></div>
