"Grant was awesome! He was always on time, prepared, and was really good with keeping in contact. He replaced a piece of rotten support beam under our home and he did it quickly and efficiently. Other contractors came and just looked at photos of the damage but grant went under our home on his first visit which was kind of nice after having others go off of only pictures. I’ll definitely be hiring him on other home projects when needed."

"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."

"With all projects, nothing is ever 100 % smooth. Ours was a little rocky and Nate was informative, supportive, and inside full to keep us on track. His honesty and ideas kept us from going way over budget. His ideas on changing things up gave me the kitchen of my dreams."

"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!"

"Paul helped us design and build a pergola on the side of our house and it is awesome. He is a perfectionist and knows his craft. He could build anything. I should recommend him to anyone who needs a pergola. I am sure he can do many different styles and work with you to decide the best type to fit your area. We could not be happier with what he did! Paul is also very reasonable with the price and we appreciated that. Especially with all the higher prices out there."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience
