"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Watry Homes started the job on time and finished quickly.  The project was difficult due to the height of the building and the steepness of the roof.  Crew was friendly and very customer oriented.  The yard and property were cleaned up perfectly.  I have been a contractor for over 30 years and am very particular.  I would recommend Watry Homes highly.

"We couldn't be happier with the work that Construct Boss did for us. We had an idea of what we wanted, and with the suggestions they gave, or basement turned out better than we hoped for. The entire basement was done on time and on budget."

"The work went very well, my wife and I were pleased with the prompt professional service. The price was affordable and the work was great, once finished he cleaned after himself and made sure we were satisfied. I would definitely refer this company to anyone I know who needs any home repair work. Chris met our expectations and beyond with the affordable price and high quality service along with a time frame."

"The first mold contractor I contacted, the tech quoted me $8k for the basement, then got a whopping $12K written estimate from the company. Immediately signed up on Angie's List and called first 2 companies on the List.  MasterCat was first and no wonder why.  Both companies offered to analyze the written estimate.  Donny at Mastercat gave me a detailed breakdown.  He was honest, yet respectful of other companies.  He suggested the original $8k to be more reasonable.  When he got to the house, the home was drenched in humidity and he gave me the option to do the ENTIRE home for not much more than the $12k originally quoted by the first company for just the basement.  Plus Mastercat includes services that the other companies would have me contact a 3rd party contractor for:  duct cleaning, furnace cleaning, and air quality testing.  Because this was a neglected foreclosure, when Donny was done with the house, it was like brand new:  the tile in the foyer and mudroom was a sparkling original light color, no cobwebs in corners, baseboards scrubbed, even the dust and grime of 9 years of neglect on top of the kitchen cabinets were cleaned.  They went above and beyond what you would expect from any contractor even beyond their industry.  They packed up my extra store-bought de-humidifiers, they placed personal belongings neatly in a cabinet, they even cleaned out the grime in the garage that was causing a nasty odor.  Master cat saved me money on maid service and tile cleaning! And all this was scheduled on an urgent basis and Donny was able to start work even sooner than promised.  He tried to save me money when he could without sacrificing the thoroughness of the remediation.  I NEVER have the time to write reviews on any sort of website, but Mastercat deserves the recognition.  Highly recommend!"

Custom Home Builders questions, 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.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

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 cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior.
