"Ben and his crew were amazing. We redid our garage entry to make it a mudroom / laundry / pantry / storage area. The job went quickly and we collaborated on solutions to our needs. At the end, we had custom cabinets, an awesome custom shelf on rollers, a stacked laundry, a hall tree, and more storage than we thought possible. All finished with great shiplap. They also took a HUGE room upstairs over our garage and gave us an extra laundry for the kids, a media room, and a fourth bedroom with walk in closet. They also gave us an extra storage area in the media room since the builder blocked off lots of usable space. The last project was giving our master a makeover. They moved 3 doors, moved our bathroom door, added a linen closet to the bathroom, moved the entry to the closet from the bathroom to the master and gave us a cool entrance to the bedroom. If you have a job to do, they'll do it right, work together to decide how things should look, and do an darn good job. All while respecting your budget. Overall, HIRE THEM!! Ben is very outgoing and fun to talk with. Can't say enough good things! Thanks Ben! We'll see you again for our next projects in the future."

"Our home has been transformed! We are so excited about the new cabinets, new granite counters, a beautiful front porch, a new back deck, new floors, new windows, new paint, and did I mention granite counters :) A dream come true for our family and I respect someone who is willing to help someone save money instead of over charging them."

"Built a brand new home for us 2.5yrs ago. We had some land, put up a 4,000 sqft brick home. They are local and they are good people, family feel type of business. They do a lot of hand holding, when you invest this kind of money that is something you want. They did a bang up job!"

"Excellent. David has a conscience, which places him in a lonely category of builders. He wants to make sure it is done right, and he will communicate. Be patient because good work takes time and understand he does this for a LIVING, not a charity. In other words....be reasonable."

"First, they were extremely prompt in their response.  They came out and provided a great quote and spoke candidly about the repairs I wanted done and what was really needed.  There was complete honesty on their part and that was very much appreciated. I was assuming I needed a lot of work but when they actually explained to me the details of the job that needed to be done it was far less severe than I thought.  There was plenty of opportunity for the company to take advantage of my ignorance and willingness to pay but that's just not how they work.  I would highly recommend MD Masonry to anyone with any masonry needs, whether big or small!  Absolute professionals, very attentive, and honest!!

"EXCELLENT SERVICE PROVIDED! Efficient. Professional. Competitive costs. Family owned and operated. We had an EV charger installed at my parents house. I was easily able to make all the arrangements over the phone because we live in VA but parents are in SC. The install was completed well under the estimated time. The technician had a small issue and caused very minor damage in the ceiling while running required wiring, but returned and made the repairs to my parents satisfaction with no other issues or concerns. I chose Mech Con LLC because their quote was nearly $1000 less than the other quote I had. When we used the charger for the first time, it would not charge. The company owner came out the very next morning to trouble shoot and we were able to charge. He also made recommendations about the recently installed solar panels on the house, which he did not have to do. We asked what other services they provide and will definitely use them for a couple other home improvement projects. ABSOLUTE professionals that we will DEFINITELY use again. I highly recommend this family owned and operated business."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

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.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.
