"We had bought a house several years ago and within a few months of owning the house our basement leaked water.  After several years of litigation and numerous episodes of the basement leaking we started looking for a contractor to fix the basement problem.  After getting estimates from a half a dozen companies, we decided that we were going to use Alternative Building Concepts, Inc.  I will say there estimate was a bit higher than the other ones, but you get what you pay for.  Due to us being in a law suit at the time of the construction, I wanted a company that was professional and a company that was going to document the damage and their work.  I further wanted a company that would be competent to testify in court if needed.  They were all of above and more.  We could not have asked for a more professional group of guys.  Mr. Blankenship explained to us all the work that was going to be performed and provided us with a written estimates for each phase of the process.  The price of the work quoted never changed.



When they started the work inside the basement it was amazing how neat they were, which was a concern of ours (especially drywall work).  Once the outside work started it took longer than anticipated due to the weather (rain and lots of it), but the work was completed in a professional manner and throughout the process Mr. Blankenship kept us up to date with the process and any issues that arose.  Once the work was completed everything was put back together neatly.  After the work was completed several small issues arose and each time I called Mr. Blankenship, someone was there to fix it the same day.  I would highly recommend Alternative Building Concepts, Inc. for any project.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

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.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

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.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.
