What’s the difference between a modular home and a prefab home?

• <div><p>Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.</p><p>In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.</p></div>

Do shipping container homes hold value?

• <div><p>Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. </p></div>

Q: What is the easiest home layout to build?

• <div><p>Any straightforward rectangular home layout is more uncomplicated than custom rooms, additions, or stylistic features. In stock plans, single-story ranch homes, cape cods, and colonials are common. Layouts with a single roof ridge are easier to build than those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or ridges.</p></div>

Q: What is a typical floor plan for an in-law suite?

• <div><p>In-law suite floor plans almost always include at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combination kitchen/living room area or separate spaces for the kitchen and living room. Larger in-law suites built in accessory dwelling units separate from your main structure can feature multiple bedrooms, dining rooms, and entertainment rooms in addition to the necessities.</p></div>

Q: Where can you find carriage houses?

• <div><p>In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.</p></div>

Came out and did an excellent job! I had an old building someone bulldozed and they came out and took care of is as well as making sure the property looked put back together before they left. Very impressed.

Joe has been awesome throughout the process. We have a tough mountain build, real tough. Kept us calm when things have popped up and found ways to get the job done right, and kept us in budget. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to build a custom home.

My wife put it best, Bill built our detached garage like he was building it for himself! He kept in constant communication with us and worked with us to make sure the garage was just the way we wanted. We will be working with Bill on future projects!
