"Was not a simple house to have built, the design had way to many errors. Elevation was not to scale and once built it started to show, that it was not to scale. If you like looking at A post out your window or a gutter in front of your window. Then this is the team for you. Fascia from gable almost touching the door trim. Just a mess. Luckily the framers could fix some of it. They did a quick redesign of the roof."

"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."

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.

"I hired Kermode to do a bath remodel. I got a bid from Tanner and it looked fair so I went ahead with it. He was great to work with, very communicative. The work was done in the time frame he said it would be done in, and the final charge was exactly what he bid. The work itself was top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kermode."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

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.

The cost of a home renovation depends on its complexity and extent. A large remodeling project may top $71,000, while a smaller project may cost around $15,000. Using a home renovation cost estimator before you begin can give you an idea of what you can expect to pay to revamp your home.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.
