"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

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

On average, exterior brick siding costs around $18,000 for a 2,500 square foot home. Whereas vinyl costs around $11,000 and engineered wood costs around $4,000 for the same size home. You also need to account for the cost to paint the material afterward.
