They scheduled an appointment and came out within the week and were right on time. They said that they would be at my house by three and were there right to the minute. The thing about them which really stood out to me was their friendliness and their response in wanting to make sure that I remained happy as a home owner. They have gone up in the style of homes which they build. There was very little of anything which I had to point out to them about what I wanted different while they were building my home. They gave me a patch of sticky notes to put it on anything I wanted touched up or carpentry work I needed changed. They took care of every little sticky note I placed. They made sure the home was according to my liking before the deal was closed. They are outstanding and keep up with what the home owners want.

No pressure sales. The employee drew a rough sketch of the perimeter of our home and inspected the foundation. He advised where to provide additional moisture, and suggested a simple solution on how to provide the correct amount of water to the foundation.

Home Building questions, answered by experts
Building permits serve a few purposes, the most important of which is to keep you and the people around you safe by ensuring your contractor does work safely and to code. Permits also help your municipality tax your property appropriately, as taxes are based on land improvements and the upgrades you make to your home. Finally, permits ensure your project won’t have a negative impact on the environment or your neighbors.
Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
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.
A guest house is not a bump-out addition. A bump-out addition is a small home addition built onto a preexisting room of your house, like a bay window or walk-in closet. While you can do a bump-out addition to a constructed guest house, a guest is not a bump-out addition. Other common bump-out additions are extra living room seating, space for a bathtub in a bathroom, and extra cupboard space in a kitchen.
