"Rich and his crew were awesome! Rich quoted me a price and never asked for more. His quote was very reasonable. He even replaced 3 other support posts that were not in the quote at no addition cost. His crew were meticulous and detailed and completed the deck in a timely manner. Upon completion they cleaned everything up and removed all debris. My wife and I could not have been more pleased and we would highly recommend Rich to anyone seeking deck building."

"We hired Wheelhouse to rebuild a building on our property that we thought had been destroyed by a large tree during a storm. Much to our surprise, they were able to save the building and make it even better than before. The work was done right: quickly and professionally. They kept us abreast of the progress and even stayed within our budget. We d definitely hire Wheelhouse Construction again should we ever decide to build a new home!"

"Thomas did an excellent job remodeling our 1400 sq ft basement. The project was a large one encompassing carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall and extensive trim work. The quality of work was extraordinary and actually, exceeded my expectations. Job site was always cleaned at the end of the day, and I always felt safe leaving my house in their care everyday. My wife and I highly recommend Sommercraft and look forward to using them again in the future."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.

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.
