"Overall, substandard. William (painter) confirmed 2 coats of paint reqd & confirmed he could make repairs on swirl-textured surfaces. Textured surface repair was just to glop more paint in a swirl "pattern", several areas showed that 2 coats were not applied as required with original paint showing thru. I pointed out problem areas, he did not fix them. Had 3 gal wall paint left, 1 1/2 gal ceiling paint left (he told me how much was required). Told me not to worry, his standards were higher than mine. Ha! He recommended that I paint my beautifully stained baseboard...no way. Evident why when he didn't cut in on wall edge of baseboard. More paint gaps there. There is no way I would let him set foot in my house again based on his crappy paint job. Photos can be provided upon request."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.
