"I can’t say nice enough things about the process of working with Martin. We decided to finish our basement, including a full bathroom, while I was pregnant and wanted the job wrapped up before the baby came, which gave a very hard deadline. Not only was Martin able to work with us contacting him two months out on this project, he was so responsive during the process, gave us great ideas, and kept us well-informed on everything that was happening with the project. From start to finish, we always felt that Martin was knowledgeable about what he was doing and didn’t seem bothered when we had last minute changes. The entire team was so clean, which gave me comfort given that I was pregnant at the time, and they were able to complete everything before the baby came. If I had more basements, I would definitely call Martin!"

We provide architectural, structural, and mechanical engineering services, utilizing over 30 years of experience in technical design, construction management, and design build services. We "listen" to our clients and solve and implement creative designs based on their needs. Kesselman Architectural Design, LLC services all of PA, NY, and MD. Typically, a set of construction documents requires only one on-site visit to gather on-site environmental and existing building conditions. We find communication on most projects, whether local or distant, is usually completed via phone and internet. There exists a triad between 3 major project aspects as quality, time and cost. A successful project requires a balance of the three. A well detailed set of construction documents will allow contractors to bid on the same "scope of work," competitively, thereby saving time and money. Our documents solve thousands of questions and become the basis of a solid legal contract.

"I got lucky. I found Lynn on a website and he was the only one with all 5 stars...now I know why! He was so wonderful to work with; knowledgable, responsive, and patient as they come. He worked within my budgetary requirements and even recommended a builder that I decided to work with. I cannot say enough great things about Lynn and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best architect! If I could give him 10 stars, I would!"

"We are extremely pleased with the deck that Lee and the King's Extreme Exteriors crew built at our house. They completed our deck in less than a day despite some light rain, and most importantly it looks great! They were also able to get the project done a week earlier than expected when we had originally booked it (Lee notified us a few weeks in advance that they could move the project up)."

I can promise I will not quit until you and I are both 100% satisfied in the results.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

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.

Modular homes can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.

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.
