Owner-Operated. Uses Subs For Plumbing & Electrical. Cost Is Determined By The Job. No Travel Charges. No Service Fees. May Contact Through Email.
"I have been unable to successfully engage more than 1 of the "Pros" on Angi for large and varying construction and remodel projects. In fact I have had only one contact me and he REFUSED to accommodate me during initial contact. I have retained the texts that I did receive from him before he shut me out. I explained very clearly that I had special needs that I needed an accommodation for a few initial contacts. Those would be being our conversation through text or email as I could not immediately use a phone. Any common person would look at my request and see that there was something behind the initial contact limitations. He then acted as if I wouldn't be willing to meet in person so he could see the job site to which I stated that an in person contact wouldn't be an issue, just using a phone. Apparently the contractor had more than enough work because from that point on he ghosted me. I attempted to reinitiate contact for almost a month but was never replied to. Not that I should have to ever explain the reason why I needed a short-term accommodation, nor should anyone in a similar situation as I, for contact either through text, email or in person, but suffice to say I have some personal limitations and this experience has left me with the impression that he is intolerant of special needs (aka disabilities). I want others to be aware of this contractor."

"Over two months to get house plans. Communication was dismal and the majority of my phone calls and emails were ignored. After I put down my initial deposit. I was ignored for so many weeks, I was beginning to think the company was fake. Draftsman never asked a single question. Not a good look when each round of revisions are charged by the number of changes. My final payment was requested before receiving house plans. Payment was sent and plans were immediately provided despite never having discussed or seen electrical and plumbing, etc. There was an error on the final plans and it took an act of Congress to get it changed. To be fair the final product was excellent but the ulcers I developed over this whole process would make me rethink using Evolution."

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 pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
Cons:
You have to make a LOT of decisions.
You will almost certainly deal with building delays.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
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.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
