How do I get a quote from a builder or general contractor?

• <div><p>To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs. </p></div>

Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div><p>Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’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: Is it more affordable to build or buy a house?

• <div><p>It is almost always more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buy an existing home than to build one from scratch</a>. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run. </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>

Q: What is the usual timeframe for completing a modular home project?

• <div><p>Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.</p></div>

We have been with them for about 30 years. The cost is taken out of my car payments. They are loyal. You don't have a problem. Once in a while we have a car hit our home, and we have no problem, they take care of it.
