"Heirloom Homes, led by their foreman Jason, exceeded our expectations in every way. What started as a simple trim and wall painting project quickly evolved into a full-scale home remodel—simply because of Jason’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From the beginning, his attention to detail and high standards were obvious. He was very firm with all the contractors he brought in in a way we could NEVER do. As we saw his work come to life, we kept adding new projects, confident that he would deliver nothing short of excellence. Before we knew it, our entire home had been transformed. Jason seamlessly blended old with new, ensuring that every addition fit perfectly with the vintage farmhouse aesthetic we love. The kitchen remodel was especially impressive—he custom-built additional cabinets to match our existing ones, applied a beautiful patina finish, leveled the floors, installed new flooring, upgraded the sink and lighting fixtures, and even designed a custom dining table to complement the space. The bathrooms were just as stunning, with completely remodeled spaces, crazy good tile work, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling steam shower (we LOVE it!) Beyond the big projects, Jason and his team handled everything from custom motorized window shades to new stairs, complete interior and exterior painting, and countless other details that elevated our home to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a contractor who truly cares about quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, we can’t recommend Heirloom Homes enough. Jason has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to bring a vision to life while maintaining the character of a home. We are beyond thrilled with the results and grateful for the care and expertise he put into every part of our renovation."

"Stan and his crew did a beautiful, thorough, clean and detailed job rebuilding our 14x30 ft deck.

"Was not a simple house to have built, the design had way to many errors. Elevation was not to scale and once built it started to show, that it was not to scale. If you like looking at A post out your window or a gutter in front of your window. Then this is the team for you. Fascia from gable almost touching the door trim. Just a mess. Luckily the framers could fix some of it. They did a quick redesign of the roof."

FAQs for custom home building projects in Kalama, WA
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
