"The contractor was not ready to do the job. He said it would take him 6 weeks. It took 5 months. He did not have enough workers. He was using other people's workers so he had to take them when they were available. We had to call him to cine back to finish things his workers did not finish. We now have no electricity in our third car garage because the electricians disconnected it and will have to hire someone to do that. There are lots of little things that were not done the way they should be because things were taking so long they were kind of thriwn together. The shower leaks. We will not call him back to fix it. Chris was a nice guy. He would make a great neighbor but I would not hire him to do the rest of the work we will have done. I do not have faith in angies list and will not be renewing my subs ription. I got better referrals from my neighbors.

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"Willie and his team did fantastic work. After contacting numerous other "foundation experts", Willie provided the best plan and backed it up with his overall knowledge and certification/training in basement/foundation repair. He and his team do great work and take no short-cuts when it comes to the overall quality of the work. He also was very flexible when other requests were made and he gladly accommodated. He has a passion for his business, customers and takes great pride in his work. The basement and porch are now fixed and look great. Best of all is that we have confidence the work performed will last."

"Well, unlike Ernest W, we had a great experience with Brandon and Jamie from Smith County Contracting. They were always here when they said they would be. Showed up early and even worked late as needed in this very hot September weather in Texas. Totally delivered on everything they promised and we did too. We treated them to lunch 3 days and topped it off with a bonus 30-pack of beer each after the job was completed. Even encouraged them to swim in the pool afterwards. I believe in rewarding people for their hard work. They also had the best price for the best value from the 3 different quotes we got. Brandon says he loves what he does and looks forward to doing it every day. He even routered the edge of the boards right next to the pool, the steps, and the rails to give everything a nice smooth look and feel. I would highly recommend Smith County Contracting for any and all of your construction and building needs!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
