"I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I used them last year to get our driveway approved and it was the best decision ever! 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. Just a very pleasant experience from beginning to end which is rare in this era. I would definitely use them again in the future."

"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."

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!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you’ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.

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.
