"Nv helped us with our one story addition over three years ago. Everything was seamless on the foundation prep contract and we’re happy on our one story to this day. Would hire again for our needs. Professional and timely"

"As with a lot of homeowners, we were scared stiff about starting a home remodeling project after all of the horror stories we had heard from friends. We were pushed off the edge by a master shower that stopped working and could not be repaired without tearing up the walls. We dove in after reading great reviews about VKB and totally lucked out by getting matched up with Calvin when we walked into the store. From start to finish this has been an amazing experience starting with the design phase, to demolition, construction, and final walk through. Calvin was perfect for us. He first asked us to collect pictures of bathrooms while he took meticulous measurements of our space. He then held our hands through what he called an “organic process” of designing our dream bath. What was really fantastic was when we had to choose tile, he walked us next door to the humongous tile store (where he was previously the store manager!) and smoothly guided us through one of the hardest choices to make with the perfect recommendations. The project was then handed to Al, the construction manager, and again we totally lucked out. I highly recommend this team of Calvin and Al. The construction phase went super smoothly. The workers are extremely clean and respectful. Everyday they lay down clean tarps and cover the carpet they are walking on with sticky plastic sheets. (We have white carpet upstairs and after they were done and a quick vacuum it is absolutely good as new!) Demo day was painless, no dumpster... just hand carried away in a truck. Construction happened pretty much daily from 8-4. We didn’t have to be home when the team was here and we felt absolutely comfortable leaving them home unsupervised. I am an orthopedic surgeon so I’m very precise about measurements. Each night I would sneak into the bathroom and measure everything, and I’m telling you all of the measurements were spot on! Also of note, they taped up two plastic sheet barrier walls between the master bedroom and bath which left the bedroom perfectly clean and livable with zero dust. We slept in our own master bed during the whole master bath remodel. In the end the project took one week longer than expected (this happened over Xmas holiday) and right on budget with no HGTV surprises. Al kept in close touch throughout the project and would text back immediately whenever we texted him with a question. Jose was also incredible during the entire remodel. We absolutely love our new bathroom and we honestly can’t think of any choice that we would change looking back. After this fantastic experience we are already planning our kitchen remodel with VKB next year. I will absolutely insist on my same team of Calvin, Al, and Jose. I have no fear of my next remodeling project"

"We found Scott and Apollo after a great deal of frustration in finding a builder who was able to take our vision and budget and make it a reality. After several false starts and stops with others in the area, we were fortunate to find Apollo. We sat and talked about the project, and after checking Scottâ s references, we signed a contract and never regretted our decision. Scott was there with us day by day from the start to the finish. We added a significant extension to our home that is a first floor suite that includes a dinette, a full bath, a half bath, a kitchenette, sitting room, Washer and Dryer, and large master bedroom. The total project totaled 1,200 square feet. Scott was aware of our objectives, and stayed on schedule, and within budget. We love the space and its an integral part of our home. Scott and his team of subcontractors clearly have long term relationships and mutual respect for one another. These are not strangers, but professionals that have a genuine and real relationship with Apollo. From the guy who graded our property, to the roofer, electrician, and outdoor masons, every single person operated on my property under Scottâ s watchful eye and were top notch. If there was a problem, it was fixed immediately. If there was a change order, Scott addressed it immediately. Apollo paid attention to our wishes for the project and ensured that finishes and products used in the construction were to our satisfaction. Scott came to understand our unique circumstances and presented multiple options before committing to one and allowed us time to make decisions without impacting the timeline. Scott paid attention to all the details - no matter how small or large - and we could not be happier with the final product. Workmanship is critical, and communication is key! Scott and I communicated daily, either in person before I left for work, via text or email. I was never surprised. Every detail was taken care ofâ ¦.Scott and the crew were clean, on time every day, and made sure that the property was usable as we went through the project - a total of about 10-11 months. For the record, most of that time was dealing with permit issues at Fairfax County. Once the permit was approved, we started and ended on schedule. Apollo is a highly competent, organized, friendly and professional operation. Scott is great to deal with and stuck with me through several design changes (was smart enough not to agree to start anything until I figured out what I wanted) Scott figured out problems that arose along the way and found solutions; honestly, he became part of the family. I would highly recommend Scott and Apollo for any construction work you may have."

"We needed a general contractor to take over from Clayton homes, to get our pre manufactured home installed on our land. To that end, I interviewed many general contractors, trying to get someone to say they'd take over the project, since Clayton homes refused to finish the project. Mr. Richards was the only person to step up and say that he'd do it, when no one else would. He even gave me a price estimate to take to our lender. That said, communicating with him was difficult. Apparently I'd caught him on vacation the first time I called, so it was a good one to two weeks after I'd started taking calls from other contractors before he phoned me back at all. And then when we met in person, I found him to be a little confrontational in his communication approach- brusque and laconic.. I'm pretty sure he was competent and knew what he was talking about, but even if the project had gone forward, I think we would have continued to have problems communicating with each other. Ultimately the project did not go forward, though that was not Mr. Richard's fault. This year, I've moved on to a different home building project entirely, and have been interviewing other builders, but have not called Mr. Richards back. That is because, as I found out, if you don't feel comfortable with your builder, and you have problems communicating with them from the start, it's not going to get any better once you get a few months in. I think it's really important that your home builder share your vision for your house, be able to see it finished in their minds, too; and maybe even get a little excited about it. Because if their heart isn't in it as a home builder, that will inevitably show in their work, and you won't end up being happy with what you pay for."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

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.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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.
