"Mr. Hall was very pleasent to work with. He came out and gave me a quote very quickly, and was very helpful with making changes to the plans. His crew was always polite and kept the job site tidy. I'm a stay at home mom and they were very considerate of my baby and our dog. The job was completed in a very timely manner. There was only a small delay because of weather (rain). Mr. Hall seems like he is out to give you what you want, not what he thinks you should have. I dealt with many contractors giving me bids on the project. He was one of the last bids I got, but the very first to call back and check up! I would recommend them to anyone!!"

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

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.

Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
