"We had a kitchen and bathroom remodeled in our 1995 Goldenwest manufactured home by Linnius Construction. They did such a fabulous job! Both the kitchen and bathroom are phenomenal and we enjoy them so very, very much. They answered all of my questions, listened to all of my concerns, came in and did the work and did it well while sticking to the budget. We are extremely pleased with the results. If you are considering a remodel, don't hesitate to call them. We would definitely use them again and again and again.........Thank you Linnius!"

"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!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

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.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
