"We had a lot of apprehension due to how we came to needing H&M's services but Maria's professionalism put that to rest and things went smoothly from there. H&M's works were prompt, communicative, and highly skilled. I was happy to see the areas of our house they fixed was in better condition after the repair than they were prior to how they were before they were even damaged. I look forward to redoing other parts of my house with H&M."

"We had approximately 2 acres of land in Spring TX for 2 years planing in building a new house .. We didn't had the right budget to begin to build a new home. We have got this company information form some of my friends and we called
them to receive an estimate.. They gave us a good price and the advice  us as they do help with loan approval drowning and design. Afterwords we decided to go with them and we ended very happy for the result we have now it took a little longer then we expected but finally we can move in to a new house.
Thanks Nicolas!"

"Roberto is an excellent project manager. There were no delays in his pre-defined schedule (in fact, they performed faster than anticipated). He was very honest and up front about the scope of the work including cost, arrival / departure times, and constantly checked on progress and sent us pictures via text. He was extremely patient with all of our questions and anxieties as the work progressed, and consistently reassured us. Any large project in a home can be stressful, and Roberto did an incredible job of reassuring us and ensuring the work was performed above and beyond our expectations. The contractors hired by Roberto were extremely courteous and took pride in their work. They took time to ensure it was perfect. In fact, the gentleman who tiled our bathroom was especially impressive as he went above and beyond to ensure every tile was expertly cut and placed (there was some complex/intricate tile work as part of the scope). Each crew showed up as scheduled, and to the extent there were scope changes, the crews always returned promptly to perform additional work. Roberto took lots of time to perform measurements, assist us with selecting materials / design, and most importantly, would tell us up front about any design/installation issues that might arise with our choices, so we were able to make a decision up front about whether a certain material was right for us / our home. The work was beautifully designed and installed. It has taken us quite a while to actually write this review, but hopefully that is more helpful for readers, as we have lived in the house where work was performed for 6 months now. We could not be happier with our kitchen, and we have had no issues with any of the installation or other work performed, now 6 months after completion. Thank you Roberto & Solid Stone Manufacturing. I would highly recommend Roberto and will utilize him for any future remodel project."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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 construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.
