"Maria did a walkthrough of our home and helped us discover mold in our walls immediately after the hurricane. She promptly brought in someone to rip out the impacted walls. She brought in the teams needed to replace our floors as well. The process was very quick and the end result was very good. We get compliments all the time on how great our house now looks. She also helped us landscape our yard and brought in someone to install a new pergola and sitting area. I highly recommend Maria and her team if your are looking for someone to do high quality and professional work on your home.

"Me and my Husband decided to renovate our old house. We manged to take a loan from the bank and to find a contractor. We have received a couple of estimates from 3 different contractors. The estimated price was very high approximately the same as building of new house. We decided to move forward and rebuild our old one family house in a new 2-story house. We took this company and we really very happy with our new results. Now our house is very reliable, strong and beautiful. The total project cost us around $260k but now we have a brand new house. Our investment was right and I would like to work with Houston Renovation in the future too.
Sincerely, Helen.

"I went very well , but it took two days and they are hard to get a hold of for communications to schedule/follow-up
They sanded and restained perfectly.
They resealed with minwax gloss
 
The door wouldn't close right. I asked them and they looked at the hinges. I told the worker Ismahel and he would let the owner Danny know. Danny never contacted me back. The door latch hardware was installed upside down and backwards. I ended up having to take the hardware off and reinstall myself. The slanted part of the latch was facing away from the door jam.
Summary:
(1) They are somewhat difficult to contact to schedule work.
(2) The price is a little high.
(3) The work quality is very good.

"After reviewing Angie’s list, I was able to identify two (2) general contractors in my area. The first provided a general hourly quote over the phone and scheduled an appointment to provide me the number of hours required to complete the work. The second general contractor was Gulf Coast Master Craftsmen. Michael Mortensen (owner and master craftsman) contacted me regarding my request for a quote and scheduled a meeting based upon my schedule which was approximately 6:30 pm to accommodate my work schedule. When I arrived home, Michael was waiting for me and we proceeded to discuss the work that was needed in addition to discussing additional work that I wanted completed. Michael recommend coming back the following day with equipment to better inspect the entire house trim to identify rotted areas in order to provide an accurate quote. A detailed quote was provided by the end of the day with pictures of damaged/rotted trim. Once approval was provided, Michael started the project within a few days. Michael notified me when he arrived at my property to start work in addition to sending me pictures at the end of the day of work performed. The project was completed in 2 days and I was once again asked to meet Michael to conduct a walk-through of work that was completed to ensure my satisfaction. The house looks much brighter (amazing what new trim and paint can do!) and although I did not anticipate having to replace house/chimney trim – Michael was able to respond and complete the work quickly to avoid disruption. I am extremely detailed and expect high level of service from anyone I hire. The work performed was seamless - the work blended well and does not look patchy which was a concern seeing as how sections were replaced. Michael addressed some observations I made related to paint splatters and even though some were from the previous owners Michael went above and beyond and cleaned up the brick. Michael clearly takes pride in his work and we will be using Michael in the near future for additional projects!"

"Very well. Rotted supports were replaced with new support posts and they were cemented to provided extra strength and longevity. Extra care was provided to make sure the cover was attached to the house structure. Finished off nicely."

"Polo and his men did a great job installing a new fence for me! (I will attach a photo if possible.) Three houses in a row all decided to have new fences installed. After getting many bids from multiple contractor, all three homes decided to use different contractors. I decided to use Gamez Contraction. And by far my fence turned out the best! And this is not just me saying that! I really like how when I had an issue, Polo happily took care of it! This is very important in a contractor because things can happen. I highly recommend Gamez Construction and I will use him again!"

"Integrity, professionalism and quality. Solid Stone Manufacturing was a God-send after Harvey. While many were at the mercy of their contractor, SSM provided fair pricing, quality materials and an excellent performance. With such an overwhelming project, our Solid Stone representative walked us through each step of the tear out and rebuild process, answering thousands of questions and even taking us shopping for materials and supplies. SSM served as our general contractor, having all trades readily available, making biweekly, sometimes daily onsite visits. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. In addition, they were very helpful and proactive with documentation for the release of flood insurance funds from the mortgage company. Solid Stone Manufacturing will be our first choice for future needs."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

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.
