"Outstanding job on our new build home inspection by Michael and Travis today. They were efficient and thorough during the inspection and explained their findings as we went along in layman’s terms and had the local code manual to reference at hand should they need it. Their report was well written and covered everything in both writing and in pictures to support their findings. We are more than happy with their professionalism displayed during both their inspection as well as their report. Over the years we have bought and sold over a dozen home and this was one of the best inspections we have ever received from a home inspection crew. Well done gentlemen!!!!"

"My home was just destroyed after a major fire. I was so worried it would never be able to be fixed. Power Builders came in to my home, they were so amazing. They walked through the house with me and explained the damages and the repairs needed. Everyday they were there working and making magic happen to my home. The materials were great quality and the workmanship that they did reflects the experience and eye for details. The house has been repaired and I swear it is more beautiful than it was when I bought it."

"Andy's team is the best! They are all very professional and consistently do great work. We hired them not knowing anyone in Waco at the time, and they did an excellent job the first time and then we re-hired them to do additional work because of their outstanding work ethic, timing, work product and friendliness. I would never hire anyone but this team to do anything around my home. Andy always shows up when he says he will or he calls if there are any issues. Constantly checks on his team and has very responsible employees."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

Some, but not all, home improvements are tax deductible or offer other tax benefits. For example, if you make green improvements to your home, such as installing a heat pump or solar panels, you may qualify for a tax credit. You may also deduct the cost of home improvements you make to improve the accessibility of your home or to allow yourself or another resident to age in place.

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.
