"Lucio and his crew are amazing. I hired him for roofing, siding, window installation, rock footing/underpinning, new concrete driveway and sidewalks, among other home remodeling. His crews were some of the hardest workers. Always professional, excellent workmanship, and worked with urgency to help me complete my house project timely. Pricing was fair and Lucio was always available for getting to add on services! I will definitely use him as needed in future!"

"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."

"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"

"Me and my wife needed a laundry room add-on and our neighbor had used Jessie in the past so we called him up to build us something similar. He came through he was very professional and understanding he explained to us and did everything he said in a timely matter. Mr Castro used to small spaces because our washer and dryer were separated into different rooms brought them together and just totally built us laundry room. He went above and beyond we couldn't believe it we're very happy and plan to use him in the future. I highly recommend him it's shocking how fast and good his work is and very understanding because we couldn't afford everything as we thought but he got us on a payment plan due to me not working cause of the covid 19 on the last little bit and we will never forget that and its rare you meet people like that especially considering how young he is .A++++"

"When we sold our house a couple years ago, we needed some work done to make it market ready. We hired Trinity Enterprise to trim our trees and paint the house. One tree was dead and needed to be removed. Their employees were friendly and accommodating. In fact, I had a door that needed to be replaced inside (I had already purchased it), and they took the other one down and hung the new one free of charge. I thought that was very nice. It took them a total of 3 days. They had to come back to touch up one spot on the side of the house, where I think our sprinklers hit the fresh paint the next morning, but they came and retouched it with no hassle at all. If we hadn't have moved out of state, I would definitely hire them again. In fact, they even let us transfer the paint warranty to the new buyers, so if they needed any touch ups, they could get them done free of charge. That was a nice selling point for us. Overall, we were pleased with this company.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

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.

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.

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
