"OUTSTANDING Experience! In today’s service environment, it’s become an incredible challenge just to find a responsive resource, let alone hoping they’re credible, knowledgeable, dependable, and honest! However, we were so fortunate to find it all, and then some, with Joseph at JDS. From the consultation phase, through to project completion, Joseph was amazing with two major projects. First, we utilized his services on-site for major interior / exterior updates in preparation to sell our home in Texas ... kitchen, baths, floors, fence, roof, backyard hardscaping, deck repairs ... just to mention a few. Thanks to his expertise, the house sold in one day. We then again tapped into his expertise remotely throughout the extensive search, purchase, and renovation phases of our new home in New Hampshire. The pandemic made it almost impossible to find reliable resource, and he made himself available yet again throughout all phases of consult / oversight for kitchen upgrades, reconfigure of unfinished lower level space to include build-out of a closet, convert a half bath to a three quarter by adding a shower, install of new floors, which gave us the ability to convert the space into a guest suite with a bedroom and living area. Additionally, he is assisting with finish out of drop ceilings, roof repairs, and much, much more. There’s not much about a home he’s not well versed on. Even with a few unexpected challenges on both projects, we always knew his calm and caring manor would bring them to resolution. In summary, his services have been invaluable. After the New Year, we look forward to engaging him again remotely for the last phase of our lower level build out ... a game / video room. Thank you Joseph for helping make our ‘next phase of life’ a positive experience!"

"Very easy people to get along with! Geri was always available day or night! Had some alterations done to the plans as we were building but Geri got it done with no hassle! Always heard it was a pain to build a house and couples almost getting divorced over it (lol!) but not with this outfit. Very professional! Faurice (Geris husband) would hotshot building materials to our location on spur of the moment They’ve actually become very good friends after the job was completed"

"Kevin has completed several projects for us over the years, from replacing all our window and out doors, covering our house in Hardyboard siding, gutting and remodeling a guest bathroom plus rebuilding our back deck. Most recently Kevin built a new closet and did several repairs on a rental house we had that we were going to list for sale to get it in tip top shape."

"Fernando, his son Frankie, and Jeb Kraft (substituting for a vacationing crew member) were excellent. Their experience, work ethic, and attitude were outstanding. Every issue that arose as they repaired work another company did several years ago was solved by Fernando. He always provided several options and we selected the best one for the situation. Because Fernando hand-dug the needed holes and trenches he had no problem when he encountered the main electric line several feet from where 811 had marked it."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
