"Highly, highly recommend! Alter Construction rescued us in a true time crunch. Exceptional integrity, detailed communication, and quality workmanship. We’re SO happy!! The Problem: Our first baby was quickly on the way, and we were at a loss with our primary bathroom. We had searched for months for a quality contractor with fair pricing. Several shady contractors ran valuable time off the clock. We were getting increasingly concerned that we would be bringing our first child home to chaos and construction dust. We needed someone who could jump in quickly and would be extra sensitive to our health needs. We also needed to be able to trust them to show up, tell us the truth about our project and get the job done in a high quality way. Oh, and stay within the agreed budget. A VERY tall order these days!! Enter Alter Construction: From the very beginning, Eli Malkin impressed us with his personable, quick but in-depth assessment of our needs. He and his team respected our home, our vision and our time. He was honest about the timeline & budget - it would take considerable coordination to get things done the way we wanted before our daughter arrived. (They completed the project a FULL TWO WEEKS EARLY!) Eli handled everything. Alter Construction gave us such peace of mind. They allowed us to focus on our health and actually enjoy the birth of our first child. And our bathroom shower LOOKS and FEELS incredible!! What an awesome post-partum gift. Alter Construction made a potentially disastrous situation a breeze. We will always be grateful to Eli for his excellent work ethic, customer centric attitude and integrity. Go with Alter Construction if you want quality!!"

"We had the LET Group do a multifaceted remodel and construction effort on our home: remodeled the existing garage to a game room, added a bathroom, remodeled/moved the laundry room, remodeled the kitchen and main bathroom and built a new stand-alone garage with workshop. As other reviewers have noted, the LET Builder Project Manager, Luis Taipe, is fantastic. As all construction projects go, there were schedule problems and infrequent worker issues, but the key to a good project is how well these issues are managed and Luis is extremely professional and handled all issues efficiently and effectively. As other's have noted, Luis actually identified issues that my wife and I would have not noticed or ignored and had them corrected to his satisfaction first which was often more stringent than we would have requested. We struggled at the start of this project to find a good contractor and actually delayed the project several times because we were not comfortable with either the potential contractors or their proposals. This changed when we met Luis and listened to his absolute professional observations and recommendations during the initial project assessment and proposal process. His proposals were detailed and he was responsive to changes. Yes, there were several contract changes, but we were aware of them (no surprises) and were part of the process in developing the contract changes. This was a very big step for my wife and I and it was a major project ---- could not be more satisfied with the results and have already passed on recommendations to neighbors. Would recommend LET Builders to anyone with Luis as the Project Manager. Luis is personable, professional, and extremely responsive --- met his family as well and it is a very nice package to have worked with."

"Javier did an incredible job remodeling my kitchen after a fire. From day one he was professional, responsive, and kept me updated every step of the way. The finished kitchen looks even better than what I had before, and the quality of the work shows in every detail. He made a really stressful situation feel manageable. Highly recommend Javier to anyone who wants it done right."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.
