What’s the difference between a modular home and a prefab home?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should I pay a contractor 50% up front?

• <div><p>Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project&mdash;especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.</p></div>

Q: What is a typical floor plan for an in-law suite?

• <div><p>In-law suite floor plans almost always include at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combination kitchen/living room area or separate spaces for the kitchen and living room. Larger in-law suites built in accessory dwelling units separate from your main structure can feature multiple bedrooms, dining rooms, and entertainment rooms in addition to the necessities.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a log cabin?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-build-house.htm">timeline to build a house</a> is typically four to 12 months.</p></div>

Q: Can I finance the cost to build a cottage, and what options are available?

• <div><p>Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.</p></div>

Beware of this contractor, do your homework. Steve is a personable guy and comes across very friendly but doesn't listen, cuts corners, and will defer you to his attorney if you have problems with his work. Our property is now de-valued because he was there. - Water lines all over the building...

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!
