Q: Should a home builder or contractor be licensed and insured?

• <div><p>Yes, a home builder should have a builder&rsquo;s license and insurance. States have different requirements for builder&rsquo;s licensing and certifications. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review your local home builder licensing guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; badge. Angi Certified businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the difference between builder-grade and semi-custom?

• <div><p>Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America. </p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with a homebuilder?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div><p>Handypeople usually don&rsquo;t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren&rsquo;t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won&rsquo;t be able to complete:</p><ul><li><p>Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom</p></li><li><p>Replacing plumbing pipes</p></li><li><p>Installing or repairing septic systems</p></li><li><p>Running new electrical wiring</p></li><li><p>Installing a subpanel</p></li></ul><p></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>
