"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

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.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

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.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

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.
