"We chose VKB to do our complete gut master bathroom renovation and were so happy with their work in terms of reliability, craftsmanship, and customer service that we hired them to renovate our hall bathroom as well. For both bathrooms we worked with Calvin as our designer and Jason as our project manager, and both of them went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the design, that the project ran smoothly and on time, and that the final product was exactly what we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to use VKB again if we need any other work done on our home, and we have already begun recommending them to family and friends and will continue to do so. We are very pleased with our experience with VKB!"

"I have been dealing with AJ Building Contractors for years. Arthur takes a lot of pride in his workmanship and is very detail oriented. From the moment you walk in one of his homes you know right away he is an excellent builder, very professional, and he cares about his homes and the quality material that goes into them. If I was having a home, or addition put on my house AJ Building would be my first call."

"Studio 76 completed my entire home remodeling for single-family home I bought in as-is condition. Home was in 1970 condition and nothing was updated over the years. I got help in deciding each item and vendors suggested by them had a very good variety of produces at a decent price. This project was very pleasant experience and I am very impressed with quality work performed by them. I definitely recommend them for any kind of project as they have capability and tools to complete any tasks."

"My old deck was literally falling apart and needed a total replacement. Michelle drafted the job for me including a sketch with measurements included in the contract. Had a competitive price and completely replaced everything. Cleanup, labor, materials all included. She even coordinated with me what days we would have to leave the premises for the work. Michelle took care of every detail of the job and the deck came out beautifully crafted. It is perfect and such a relief to finally have the entrance to my house safe and sound. I highly recommend this business for any work you need done. You will be taken care and get a very competitive offer."

"Eco Power Works is the best home contractor I have ever used. Daryl & John did the fantastic job of finishing our basement. The entire process with our tricky basement remodel was amazingly smooth from start to finish. The end product completely fulfill our vision. I also appreciated that Daryl's team went to great lengths to carefully protect our floors, walls, and furniture while they were completing their work. Everyday they leave the workplace clean and orderly. The entire process was truly worry free. Eco Power Works will be first call for future home remodeling projects. Lastly, I am who cares deeply about the environment and what we leave behind, so I have major respect that the company focuses on being green and how to build a sustainable environmentally friendly living space with us. Sincerely, George S"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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, 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.

Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.
