Customers say: Quick response

"We had an amazing experience with Maison! I have heard horror stories of working with contractors but Ken was incredibly communicative, timely, and a pleasure to work with! He was not only responsive to questions, but was proactive in giving us information and timelines. He was very sensitive to costs and was upfront about any unexpected changes. The project was completed within the timeline he anticipated, and we have an absolutely beautiful kitchen. It was a pleasure working with Ken and his team. I have already recommended them to several friends, and will continue to do so. Thank you, Maison team!"

"I have heard so many remodeling horror stories. From the moment we spoke to Gerardo and his team, I knew I had made the right choice. The results are beyond my dreams. I feel ulike I moved into a brand new home. We renovated my childhood home into our retirement haven. Yaya Contracting did not miss a single detail. They worked with an engineer to make sure we had no structural issues in the future. They went above and beyond what we expected. The design team helped us coordinate tiles, carpet and wood flooring. Gerardo and his team listened to our needs and made sure the job was done to perfection. I highly recommend Yaya Contracting!!!"

"Dylan Construction and crew were amazing, friendly and patient while my husband and I kept going back and forth on what to get done. Considering I feel like my house hates me because every time we go to fix, repair or change something their seems to be more problems, but Dylan Construction showed us what was up, told us they could handle it, and did. We are hiring them for more projects in the future. What an amazing company."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

Custom Home Builders 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.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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. 

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.

Yes, modular homes offer a wide range of customization options for layout, finishes, and features.
