"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

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
