"As a first-time home-owner, Joe was gracious enough to help me through a lot of tough calls and decision-making in my large-scale projects. He puts a lot of thought and effort in giving options and opinions. Even better, he helped me navigate what needed to be done and when, even going so far to recommend trusted contractors in areas of plumbing and electrical work. Joe is essentially a one-man crew that at times got apprentice help through friends on some jobs. Overall, I'd pay for materials and time for his work, and I would give money up front for materials that he would go get himself. Joe was able to keep updated records of what he had done for me and the amounts I paid in a useful excel document that he'd print out for me every couple of weeks or so. For jobs that he could easily estimate, he'd give me a price up front, such as for my flooring installation. Bigger jobs like putting up new interior walls was paid as work was done. Overall, his work was excellent. Joe does good work for a fair price, but he takes a long time for big projects. I'm a bachelor, so I didn't mind too much, but I'm sure having a wife around would have made things awful. He's a guy I could trust with my garage key, and as he puts it himself, he's a chatty to a fault."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"I can't say enough good things about J&J Constructions! We purchased a playground from Walmart and accidentally overlooked the option for assembly. We were in a bind, but thankfully J&J Constructions came through for us. They spent an impressive 7 hours building the playground, and the quality of their work was truly top-notch. From start to finish, their attention to detail was impeccable. Every bolt, board, and piece was assembled with precision and care. What stood out even more was their professionalism and character. These men are not only incredibly skilled but also humble, kind, and hardworking. They took the time to ensure everything was done perfectly, and we are beyond pleased with the result. If you're looking for a team who delivers outstanding work with a great attitude, J&J Constructions is who you need to call. They turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless experience. Highly recommended!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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 primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
