"Dalton and his crew were hired to build a roof over an existing deck and replace a rotting fence. From the get-go, they were professional and hard working. On time and efficient, they kept us informed every step of the way. The result? What seems like a beautiful new porch and yard! We even went on to hire them for an additional project, replacing trim on our home. And the cost? Quite reasonable! We highly recommend Elk Valley Construction, LLC!"

"Well, it was fun as well as giving me just what I wanted for my house.....more light, more privacy, and aesthetics. The nice thing about Tim, aside from the fact that he's a nice person and very intelligent, and gifted in his field, is that he listens and makes you part of the process. I felt totally at ease and secure giving him keys to my house for work that was done when I wasn't there. My house maintains it's old feel (he blended the new with the old) as well as contributing to making it an even more beautiful house."

"Jose and his crew were quality contractors to work with from the deck design phase through completion. Jose is a master craftsman who takes pride in his work. He is a perfectionist who will make changes until the work is perfect and met our standards. From demolition of our old deck to designing our large 729sf trex deck with custom cable railing, Jose made the process easy and accessible. During the whole process, he was easy to get a hold of with any questions. He kept us updated with all phases of the build. After completion, there were a couple minor changes that needed fixing. They were on top of it and followed all the way through. Quality service, quality craftsmanship and a great crew to work with. Highly recommended."

"We cannot say enough good things about Jake and Scatter Creek Construction.  He was prompt at returning our calls and emails, showed up on time on the days he was supposed to build the deck, and spent extra time here to make sure he finished the job on time.  We changed our plans several times and probably drove him crazy but he was always willing to work with us to make sure that we got the deck we wanted.  Our deck looks fantastic and we would definitely recommend Scatter Creek Construction to anyone!

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.
