"I had a garage side door that was literally falling apart. The door didn't line up with the latch so it wouldn't close without a Herculean effort to lift it up. The casing around it would constantly fall off, bringing with it a cable for the backup battery for my Verizon FIOS network. The wood at the base was rotted, and the concrete was crumbling. I had lost the key to the deadbolt which I needed even to lock it from the inside. I never used it because it was such a pain. But when I had a major landscaping project done, I couldn't get my lawnmower through my fence gate and needed to use my garage side door. I decided to bite the bullet and hire somebody. I called All American Craftsmen and Contracting based on the reviews on Home Advisor. They responded right away, offering to come out and give me a free estimate. They gave me an appointment that met my schedule and evaluated every aspect of the job that needed to be done. I wanted a new door and casing and was expecting an estimate north of $1000.00. To my surprise, they gave me an estimate with a quality door, casing and all carpentry work including concrete base for less than that amount. I was super pleased. I was supposed to have the work done a week later, but the coronavirus restrictions pushed that back a few weeks. When the day arrived, their employee (Tommy) showed up right on time and got to work. I estimated he spent at least 12 hours over two days painstakingly working on my project. He made two different trips to Home Depot to get the right material. The only hiccup was that the replacing the rotted base was not in the original contract and added $75. I really didn't care -- the price was still below my threshold. He installed it, caulked it and painted it. I was extremely happy with the results! I cannot recommend this company enough. Bravo Zulu!"

"We met Doug at a neighbor's house. He met with us and we discussed what we wanted done- a complete bathroom remodel. He offered suggestions while being open to our ideas. Work was done in a timely fashion. His crew was careful when moving vanity, shower pieces and other items. They cleaned up at the end of each day. We have been very pleased with the end product."

"Geoff and his network of highly skilled, certified specialists were amazing to work with. Geoff is not just a contractor, he is a designer with a vision who helped us make the right decisions for our home, while keeping with our own style. If he were an HGTV personality, it would be Holmes. He makes sure everything is done correctly the first time, with high-quality materials that will last forever, and my favorite part, he explained the how and why throughout the process. He is knowledgeable, honest, timely and just so good at what he does. His work is clearly a passion, and it shows in every detail. With only a copper sink as inspiration, he changed my 1990's kitchen into a timeless work of art that is as beautiful and interesting as it is functional. He reconfigured a large piece of my house to accommodate a laundry room and and turned a half bath with minimal space into a modern full bath, without making it feel small. I can't say enough great things about working with him. And, while it may not matter to some, it mattered to me - Geoff is a nice, personable guy who I liked having in my home, as was every specialist he chooses to work with. He was respectful of our space, and cleaned up the work space at the end of every day. He was open to adding to his already significant workload with projects that popped up as we were moving in and figuring out how we wanted the house to look. It got to the point that I ran every idea by him and he never once made me feel like I was a bother because he cared and had a vision. About halfway through the initial kitchen/bath/laundry project, we decided to redo the all brick fireplace hearth. Geoff knew exactly what would look perfect, and was able to give us a stone fireplace, with granite mantle without significantly pushing back the timeline. It looks perfect, and he even took into account my dog when choosing the threshold material around the base (because the dog's nails would scratch up a wood piece). Just little things like that, the caring, the attention to detail, the situational awareness that Geoff has makes him the correct choice. He also identified other issues in my home (older home) that could eventually cause issues and offered solutions. Not trying to sell us anything, but just helping us be better home owners and letting us know what to look out for. I am so glad our paths crossed, I can't imagine working with anyone else, and I am so excited work with him on the next project.!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

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.
