MJL is our go to Contractor for our own personal needs and we STRONGLY recommend & refer then to others in our lines of work in the Real Estate Industry.

Our Bar was at one point just a vision!  Mike worked with us to bring our dream bar to life. We had a specific style and idea of what we wanted and boy did he deliver! We love it. Mike and his crew were very careful and mindful to protect other areas of the house from damage during construction, always showed up on time with a GET THE JOB done attitude every day.  The craftsmanship and techniques used were tip top!

MJL has also done a full home renovation for one of our clients and turn a house from DATED to New! We only use and recommend MJL for contractor jobs! That's how much we love this company. You won't go wrong if you hire them to work for you. Jennifer & Mac Church

I cant tell how great our place looks and how CLEAN AND METICULOUS the project was throughout the process."

"Fantastic. Despite our installing new hardwood floors in the middle, which impacted timing, Phil was very flexible and got the job done. In an instance when Phil could have taken the easy path and reinstalled an existing level of insulation, he instead worked with us to figure out a better option. Phil is capable of performing the work some might hire a GC for, but you ultimately get a far superior level of service and you know who it is who is performing the work.
This is the third major job Phil has completed for us. There's no better vote of confidence in that we keep asking Phil to come back into our home.
As an aside, I also plan to hire Phil to accompany me on a walk-through of any future home purchases in the areas as I trust his extensive, well rounded knowledge and expertise better than the home inspectors I've worked with.

"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."

Contacted All American painting & Home repair company based on Angie's list reviews. Mr. Wayland (Eddie) arrived, gave us an estimate, took his time explained everything he was going to do and how he was going to preform the necessary work that needed to be done. We had a few set backs based on the  weather as this was all exterior work. Paula(Eddie's wife) kept us informed , excellent communication, as to when he would be arriving and when he was not. Eddie and his assistance Orval are hard workers, very detailed, very professional. Windows look brand new.


This is a family owned business, that provide outstanding service, we have referred him to our neighbor, we would not hestitate to use this company in the future. Very pleased. They are located in Front Royal Virginia just to make sure you have the right company.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.
