"My uncle just had finished his project on the house, so I asked him how was the experience with the contractor and he said it went really good! I contacted Alter Construction and explained in few words about the project. Cynthia asked the right questions and when Eli came he already had all the information. Now that everyone is working from home I had to have a dedicated office. Eli asked if we had an architect or an engineer, we didn’t so he provided those services as well. The nice thing was that we could see the final design and the materials even before we started the project. Me and my wife are working all day from home and taking care of the kids, I just didn’t had the time to manage the project. So that was a such a huge relief to be able to trust them with that. This was our first project and for us it was really big, and they took all our worries away! The communication was exceptional, considering we are always busy from meeting to meeting, so the only way to communicate was through emails or late evening meeting. They adapt to our necessities. I’ve worked with many people before and Eli definitely set the bar high up with work quality, availability and most importantly, honesty. We will definitely keep recommending Alter Construction to our family and friends!"

"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."

"Working with Ace Remodeling TX on our full house remodel was a fantastic experience. Asaf was the project manager, and he was on top of every detail. They helped us with the design and layout, making sure we maximized every inch of space. The communication was top-notch, and they finished the project right on time. I appreciated how they explained the process, making us feel comfortable throughout. We love our “new” home, and it is all thanks to the team!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a wonderful experience working with Steve and Cassie! We had a tricky build --squeezing a multi-level deck between two old trees, existing landscaping, two pergolas and still finding a way to include my wish list of seating, privacy, and a big stock tank pool in the center. Steve saw my vision and made it come to life. There was a solid plan in place, but they were also flexible. I highly recommend and would certainly use them again!!"

"In real estate, when a client delivers a standout product, the market responds immediately—and that’s exactly what happened with Juan. He is brilliant to work with, strategic, and meticulous about high-caliber standards. Thanks to the exceptional quality of his homes and his sharp business sense, we went under contract quickly and secured full price. Juan is a first-class professional, and I give him my highest recommendation."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

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.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.
