"Overall, this job was basically all done by us coordinating with the subcontractors, who were all very nice. The owner who we hired however was disorganized, rarely around, never did any kind of inspection on the work done by the subs. Tried to sell us a window that we couldn't install because it wouldn't have been to code, then after we got the new one ordered and installed, he left the old one on the side of our house for weeks until we said we were going to take it to the dump...overall, the job looks pretty good, but a lot of little issue we had to have another contractor fix to finish it.

"John was wonderfully efficient and timely in his work. We love our new system and are very pleased with how quiet the system works. The price was very reasonable. John also walked us through how everything worked and answered all our questions. Totally happy and would definitely recommend Evergreen to anyone--in fact, our daughter and son-in-law also installed the same system for the garage door at their home."

"

I purchased a Deal in February, but due to unforeseen delays was not able to use the deal until July.  Everyone I spoke with at SL Green was understanding of the delays in scheduling and very helpful.  I sent pictures of my projects via email and received timely responses. When the two man crew, Brian and Rich, arrived, they were on time and ready to work.  We first discussed the projects to make sure we were all on the same page and then they got to work.  The communication skills, work ethic, knowledge, and professionalism of Rich and Brian were amazing.  They both had a "can do" attitude and made sure all projects were completed to our satisfaction.  It was a pleasure having them work in our home and we would not hesitate to hire SL Green for any other projects.  Overall it was one of the best experiences in our months of remodeling.

"This is the second time I hired ClearVision. They seem to be very well organized with specialist in each area: Estimation/quote, scheduling, supervision, and customer care. Their schedule is flexible, so they put our daily schedule first and came to our place after 5:30pm for estimation and final review. The owner is friendly and humble, and when we mentioned that we are a returning customer, he gave us some small discount from the final payment. They also gave us some sign up discount, since it was early in the season and we had the vent replacement done a year prior. Three crew members came to do the roof, and two of those I interacted spoke very good English, and were able to answer all my questions. They were on time, careful around my house, and cleaned up nicely each day they were done. They also sent someone to fix dry walls on the bathroom ceiling around the skylights. During the final review, we pointed out the newly replaced plywood is not painted. Though painting is not part of their job, they are willing to send someone to paint them at no cost. ClearVision does a through job."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

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.

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.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
