"I hired Jeff Carroll from K + L Tree And Design to run a french drain down the side of our house and across our backyard. Plus we found some issues with our irrigation system where it was leaking into the ground and needed to be repaired. What started out as what seemed as an easy job turned into a long drawn out mess. We started the process in March which should have only taken maybe a week or so of total time, ended up getting to August and my job still is not complete. With numerous excuses for not showing up and delaying my job between having another job lined up, equipment needed repair, his personal vacation, health issues, etc. It was literally one excuse after another while my job sat uncomplete. I still have gravel sitting in my front yard because he hasn’t come to finish the job with the irrigation system. BUT the biggest issue of it all is he STOLE money from me. With the closing of our house we were given some money though the closing of the house to use on landscaping, but the lawyer had to pay Jeff the money. Jeff said once the job was done, I could pay him, and then he would write me a check for the money when I handed him the check from the lawyer. He wrote me a bogus check and its been over two months of more excuses as to why he can’t get me another check. I would not recommend hiring K + L Tree And Design. Its been the worst experience and I will have to go to court to try and get my money back."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

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.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.
