"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"Like anyone that notices their home is starting to crack and move you feel overwhelmed. After hiring a structural engineer to tell us what what was going on we began the search for a foundation specialist. I interviewed three companies and after research selected CNT Foundations.
We are very happy with the outcome. They met all my criteria and deserve this recommendation. I expect excellence, attention to detail and integrity when I pay for a service. Victor and his three man crew met all these standards. I was kept informed, involved and allowed to observe what they were doing. The job site was left clean, my home was not damaged and the job was finished on time. Victor was on onsite to supervise every phase of the operation and address my questions. There was immediate follow-up to see if I was satisfied and I my account was adjusted when the cost of the service was less than expected. Before you go with a company that advertises on TV everyday give these guys a try. You will be glad you did.

"We found Accubuilt on Angie's List.  We gave them a call and from the first interaction were very pleased.  They were professional and courteous.  They came out and reviewed the various things we needed to have done on our house.  We discussed several things with them including installing vinyl siding and replacing our roof.  In the end we decided to only do the siding now.  But we definitely will have them back next year to replace the roof.  Once we agreed on the work to be done, we scheduled to have the work begin the following week.  They showed up on time, worked late and were done in just 2 days.  They did an excellent job on the work and even did an excellent job in cleaning up after themselves.

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

"He was very professional told us what we needed too do he didn't push us in any way have never meet a person that helped us the way he did. This is not the only thing he has contracted to do for us. We are thankful that we Met him".  We also contracted him about 15 years ago to build our home.  The job went as scheduled and he built us a beautiful custom home.  He is all about the details and we wanted custom features to fit our needs.  If we ever build another house, Rodney is the one that we will choose.  We couldn't have asked for a better experience and professionalism than what he gave us. 
Thank you Rodney for such a great job.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

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.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.
