"Gary returned my initial phone call promptly and came by soon after to inspect the space. He sent me an estimate within 3 days and once I accepted, scheduled the first work day. Gary and his assistant arrived on time and got right to work. Over the course of several days I observed that Gary and Forrest were detail oriented, didn't take shortcuts, and we're very concerned with doing things correctly and well. On the first day, I added to the scope of work and Gary easily agreed to the additional work and got me an estimate for the new work. They worked at a steady pace, didn't take breaks, and organized all the debris for disposal. Gary is an awesome contractor and I am already planning my next project for him.

"Brad was fantastic! I had previously had another contractor come in and estimate about 1000 in repairs. Brad indicated this was definitely not the case. He provided an estimate and then beat it by $100. He was knowledgeable, on time and friendly. Estimate was provided and he came back and finished everything in less than 3 hours. Great guy! Great service! And I will be using him again.

We have used No Despair Home Repair previouslly.  As always, this project was excellently done.  This weas the biggest project Ron and his crew has done for us.  Ron does a great job of listening to what we want and then producing that result.  He makes excellent suggestions that are well worth considering.  His work aleays exceeds our expectations.  Ron is easy to work with and flexible in making any needed changes.  Ron was quick to return when it was necessary to resolve a couple minor problems.  We are already planning our next progect.  I would highly recommend No Despair Home Repair for any type of work around the house.

"My husband and I took on the major task of completely gutting and renovating a 1850's farm house.  We full well knew that we could do many things on our own, however, drywall is nothing that we wanted to attempt.  We originally hired Rich to hang and finish the drywall throughout the entire 3,000 sq ft house. His estimate was great, his professionalism was wonderful and we felt very comfortable with him working in our home while we were away at work.  In the process of renovating, a storm blew a very large tree on the majority of our home, creating even more work that needed to be done. And, to beat it all, I was 8 months pregnant at the time. Rich was very flexible in working around the tree crisis and being sensitive to the changes in our family structure as well. Rich had the majority of our home completed and ready for paint in less than 1 month. The remaining portions, were still under repair from the tree so those had to be done at a later time. Rich was always there when he said he would be, he was always very straight forward about changes that needed to be done and decisions he felt would be in our best interest. At a later time, we hired Rich to complete the drywall in the rest of the house as well as paint those areas. He helped in picking colors as well as making suggestions for type of paint etc. Rich is not only a drywaller and painter to our family but a part of it. My husband and I would never trust anyone else to do the work in our house except for Rich.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.

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.

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.

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.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.
