Hello, My name is Sam Mirra the owner of MIRRA& SONS COMPLETE CARPENTRY we have been doing business in this area for 20+ years with a great reputation. Our goal is to satisfy the customer to the fullest no matter if it's at our cost. We provide a professional service and a 100% guarantee no matter what the project is. We provide a complete carpentry business no job is too small. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide you with our services!

"From the very beginning, Sam and his crew were committed to giving me great service and a great outcome. I told Sam my vision of building my own little oasis in my backyard, which included a custom fence, a freestanding deck, and a replaced walkway that would give us a solution to our backyard drainage issue. Sam’s crew worked tirelessly in the heat, staining fencing boards and bringing my vision to life. And despite some setbacks with rain throughout the project, Sam and his team remained committed to giving me a great outcome. The results? A beautiful, private backyard with lots of space to set up my furniture, plant some new beautiful plants and just enjoy my surroundings with my family and friends. They even built me a few custom planters along the way. Sam and his crew were professional and easy to work with. He kept me in the loop the entire way. Which I fully appreciated. They worked hard to make sure I got what I envisioned. The yard looks amazing. The fence is beautiful. Absolutely would hire Mirra and Sons again."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you’ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

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.
