"Covid struck crew between prep and concrete pour. Communications stopped and I was left wondering if project was ever going to be completed. I had to continuously solicit information from Travis. Contractors job is to keep customer informed."
"Black Trident Contracting contacted me right away, and I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, due to unexpected costs, I had to cancel the project."
"I have worked with Skymont on several projects, as a Real Estate agent, and as a homeowner. They were very professional, well priced, and efficient! Highly recommend using Skymont for any size project!"
"Aaron and his team have great communication and good feedback on the project. Treat the job like it's their own. Great work. My first call on any future work."
"We were left in quite the pickle when our contractor left his work half done and couldn't be contacted. Our home was terribly effected by the tornado in December, and we've been in the trenches ever since. "You can get out of the trenches now and we'll get in there for you" is a direct quote from them. They have not disappointed. Since Steve, Jerold, and Elizabeth have came into our lives, we've been able to breath much easier. From bringing us a gift basket of movies, DVD player, candy, and popcorn... to answering every silly question we have. No messages or calls go unanswered. I would HIGHLY recommend them for anything you need."
"I am amazed at how knowledgeable and efficient Clifford and his crew work. They did an amazing job for me and as a REALTOR. I have hired them for another job to help make repairs for my listing. I would highly recommend them."
Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.
If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.
Mid-century modern architecture was a popular home style throughout the U.S. from the 1950s to 1970s. Most homes feature a wide and symmetrical floor plan with low-sloped roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its minimalism and balanced appearance are back on the home style scene, particularly when maximizing sunlight, airflow, and a blend with the home's natural surroundings.
You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.
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.
