"Grant and his team did an excellent job installing a new gas fireplace along with a mantel and custom hearth. Communication was great, very friendly service, and high quality work. I would highly recommend Linnius construction for any home repairs and remodels."

"Ross Built completed our new custom home construction on time and under budget. Ezra's (owner) extensive network of local subcontractors was instrumental to making the project go smooth. I witnessed other home owners suffer from delays as a result of labor and material shortages caused by the pandemic. His experience really shined during the site prep and foundation building process where he had to deal with a challenging gradient and property boundaries. Also, all of his subs were very professional and easy to work with. My family is very satisfied with the final product. Highly recommend Ross Built for anyone wanting to build custome homes in Central Oregon."

"Considering we started a new build in the Covid era, Mark knew when and where to order materials so that they arrived on time and at a reasonable price. He scheduled sub-contractors in a timely fashion and finished our project within a year. Marks primary crew Miguel and Trace did an outstanding job from foundation to finish and were a pleasure to work with. Mark has been in this business for many years, he is patient and has a sense of humor to get you through the difficult times. We would recommend Mark Petrie for any Custom Home you may be considering."

"I can't say enough good things about Tumalo Construction! My husband and I met with many contractors before we began our house addition project. Most contractors were overpriced, flakey, or wanted to change parts of our project to fit their ideas rather than ours. That was NOT the case with Tumalo! Jordan and Andrew were incredibly professional, respectful, timely, honest, reasonable, and thorough! There were MANY times throughout our project that my husband and I would say to each other "I am SO thankful we chose Tumalo Construction!" And now that the job is complete, I feel even more strongly about that opinion. We heard countless horror stories from family and friends about their experiences with their contractors - but we just couldn't relate. We didn't even have a hiccup once! Jordan and Andrew made our house into our dream home and I couldn't be more thankful for them! We are excited that the project is complete (and even better than we could have imagined!) but sad to see them go. They became part of our family during the work! We will 1000% use them in the future for other projects. If you are looking around for a contractor - LOOK NO MORE! These are your guys!"

"We took 7 bids from Sisters/Redmond/Bend area paint contractors. We chose Optimum Painting for three reasons: First, Angie's List rates them highly, over a number of years. Second, John Chabot (president and bidder) is low-key, reponsive and informative. John suggested a longer-lasting paint, for a modest extra cost). Third, Optimum's bid was very competitive. Bo did a great job of prepping, painting and cleaning up. Throughout, customer service was utmost. We're relieved to have the house repainted in a timely manner, before winter sets in. Yes, we recommend John's team at Optimum Painting, without hesitation."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders 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.
