"I HIGHLY recommend Glen Verkler, owner of Verkler Development!! He completely remodeled my daughter’s bathroom in her mobile home, and the results were absolutely amazing. His work is top-notch from start to finish, and his attention to detail really shows. Glen is licensed, bonded, and insured, so you can feel confident you’re in good hands. 📞 337-567-1084 📧 [email protected] If you’re looking for quality work done right, you won’t regret it!! 💯"

"The process went very well. There was a long delay due to weather when it would not stop raining, but Clarion kept in touch with me. Once they could actually get out to do the work it was complete in 2 days like they said it would be. The contractors were really professional and very good at what they do. Even with the heavy equipment the yard had minimal damage and that is nothing compared to how great the cleared land looks."

"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."

""We would highly recommend Ace Restoration Builders for your home building and remodeling needs. Our home was flooded during Havery, gutted, and they did the mold remediation. Ace was the most honest and reliable contractor to work with us to restore our home. We worked with each other through timelines, staying in our home, with SBA, ideas, work arounds, changes and every other process of remodel. The outcome has been better than we could have ever imagined!""

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.
