I was told by neighbors it would never get approved but after speaking with Sofia, I was put at total ease knowing that I was in good hands through this process. She was very professional and explained every step in full detail. She kept in constant communication as I never had to call or chase her down.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with M&K Renovations to transform my basement into a home theater and bar, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the first consultation to the final touches, the entire process was seamless and efficient. I would like to start by recognizing Nick on the sales team for his exceptional service. Right from the initial meeting, Nick displayed a deep understanding of my vision for the basement transformation. He took the time to listen to my ideas and provided valuable insights and suggestions to enhance the project. His expertise and attention to detail truly helped bring my vision to life. Not top mention, the proposal was clear, concise and transparent, all which I value when it comes time to sign a contract. Once the project was underway, Chris, the project manager, took the reins and ensured everything ran smoothly. Chris's exceptional project management skills were evident throughout the entire process. He was always available to address any concerns or questions I had, and he consistently communicated updates on the progress.

"My basement was to be repaired (plumbing) and remodeled. Bathroom in basement has no trap in shower floor, electric (recess) lights are all on one breaker (8), didn't finish walls trim is falling off, and it's not painted (never came back) and Floor is not leveled. Upstairs bathroom was a full gut job. They didn't replace any electrical wiring or housing, shower leaks and so does the shower glass door (uneven). They damaged my vanity (floating) pipes were to come out off wall, they left them coming out of floor and drilled holes in vanity to make it fit. Never painted bathroom (upstairs) left old door/window molding, never replace bathroom door slapped a ton of primer on door and molding. The sub pump in basement is not working properly water still comes in basement with heavy rain. All he did was put lipstick on a pig and lie about the replacement of electric and plumbing. He's work is far from professional and he doesn't take responsibility for any mess up from his crew (they steal) or himself. Hired him for the job in May and finished in November. They had to replace the ceiling in living room twice (pipeline) was never replaced. All he did was cover up and patchwork. George was been contacted several times a week until he changed his phone number. Upstairs bathroom toilet is connected to the hot water line as well."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
