Q: What is the difference between a carriage house and a garage?

• <div><p>A carriage house combines garage or storage space with living space, usually in two stories, while a garage generally does not offer any living space. Carriage houses are built with plumbing, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, which are usually features not found in traditional garages. Building codes and insurance requirements greatly differ between the two types of structures, and may make it difficult to convert a garage to a carriage house.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you&rsquo;ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.</p></div>

• <div><p>No, tiny houses don&rsquo;t have to have wheels. However, if you plan on traveling with your tiny house and want to use it as a transportation method, it&rsquo;s a good idea to buy a tiny house with wheels or put wheels on one.

Q: Are green homes more affordable to build?

• <div><p>Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you&rsquo;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&rsquo;re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run. </p></div>

Q: Where can you find carriage houses?

• <div><p>In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.</p></div>

Great experience with our pool build! The Jose and his team are friendly, on time, and did quality work. Just a few small follow-ups, but overall we’re very happy with the result and enjoying our beautiful pool!

Excellent! Great communication, they met me at the nursery and transported my trees to my house and planted them all. Will definitely use them in the future for concrete and more landscaping as we build out our backyard.
