"Wally was able to take our general ideas for a sun room & turn them into a quality work of art.  His architectural knowledge & experience was extensive & his recommendations on hardware, materials of construction, best practices, etc. was impressive.  We went through several revisions as our ideas evolved & Wally was always patient, available & very professional.  His graphic systems allowed us to make revisions as we discussed the designs & see the results instantly in 3D views.  The level of detail was such that we felt we were standing in the new room.  Our Homeowner's Association indicated that it was among the best packages it had seen & approval was very quick.  We would highly recommend Wally."

"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."

"Good and bad. At 1st work started out really good with the workers coming in 5 to 6 hours A-day for 3 to 4 days a week. James would come in once A-day to check on the progress. After a few weeks one of the workers was deported and at that time the Quality began to suffer. The work became sloppy and everything was taking a lot of time. Many items were not done correctly. The backsplash in the kitchen had to be ripped out and redone. They began coming less and less and we never knew what day they would be here or what time they would arrive. They were very sloppy and did not cover the furniture or carpet where they worked and walked inside the house. They left a lot of trash laying around the backyard And did not clean up behind themselves.After a few weeks we saw no one at all for 5 days. We were ghosted by James on Phone, text and email. They then told us that the workers had quit and they didn't have anyone to come in and do the work . They were going to come in and do it themselves. Quality improved, but Once again communication was poor regarding when they were coming. The agreement was the last installment would be paid at completion of the job but they informed us that they needed more money. After a heated discussion, we gave them 4,000 and Marlana took over. This is when EVERYTHING changed for the better. Marlena and her sister came in and did a lot of the inside work. They corrected the mistakes of the previous workers and did a great job installing the shower et cetera that also needed to be done. After a few days, Marlana brought in and supervised 2 guys that redid and completed the outside. They had the entire job finished in less than a week. The quality was high, they were very professional, and did a great job. We are EXCEPTIONALLY HAPPY with the work that was done during the last week. We paid them extra to remove the trash and when they finished it was done well. The original quote was supposed to include builder quality fixtures and materials and other supplies. We chose higher end so they amended the agreement and charged us is us 38000 for their work. Supplies for the outside were included in the quote. We ended up spending an additional 18000 on fixtures, shower doors, vanities, plumbing parts, toilets, tile, granite,and everything else."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

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.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.
