At Lewallen Architecture, LLC we are committed to a high level of design and excellent customer service. Great design cost no more than poor design.

"We entered a contract with Michael Lewallen for a major addition. We chose him because his bid was the lowest. Michael Lewallen, after collecting 95% of our money, with only 60% of the project completed, said he underbid the project and basically, at the point we were on our own. He breached our contract. We paid out of pocket six figures, if we hadnâ t our project would have sat, open to the elements. It is money we did not have. It canâ t be blamed on Covid because had it been completed in the contractual 8 months, it would have been done before the pandemic. Also, some of the sub contractors told us they either had a terrible time getting paid, or they didnâ t get paid at all. In order to complete our project, we had to pay the sub contractors out of our pocket, after we had already paid Michael Lewallen for the very same services. We also paid in full any change orders to Lewallen. Much of those monies were kept by Lewallen and then we had to pay again directly to the sub contractor. We talked with two others of his customers, one project sits and the other elderly couple have paid 90% as well and their project is approximately 30% completed. Michael Lewallen underbids, slow walks the projects while billing aggressively each month, and you pay because if you don't, you are afraid he will stop totally. Once he has your money, he shuts down his services. Our project was contractually promised to be completed in eight months. After 15 months, and us begging to get a roof, a garage door, drywall, painting (everything we had already paid for), he pulled the rug out on us. I have had to hire an attorney. Michael is a master salesman. His website is awesome. But it is used to draw in customers, and once you sign a contract, the nightmare begins. If you are even thinking about doing business with him, talk to someone who has signed with him for a project at least six months ago. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MICHAEL LEWALLEN."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

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.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.

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 it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.
