"Harold destroyed $1400 shower walls in 2 bthrms by cutting the Bull Nose Finished Sides & Tongue Grove Side! Paint applied w/ Sprayer highly diluted; it peels off wiping any scuffs! Spent extra $ on best Paint; complete waste! Since Sprayed: Paint never cut into Wall-Ceiling line. Ceilings have tannish tint thruout! Raised concern, rcvd manipulative excuse: Squirrel got into each room/ceiling, urinated, causing tint! LVT flooring installed in 1 bthrm over existing tile, but no Leveling Compound used as Instructions warned; LVT pops in/out when stepped on! Paid for 7 Existing Cable Boxes to be moved up, but none of Existing Cable fished thru, so made worse w/ non-functional Cable Boxes! Plead w/ Harold not to close Walls prior to fishing Cable thru, but Walls closed anyway. Disrespected, yelled at, when raised issue that Cable Company wouldn't be fixing, as Harold deceitfully wanted me to believe! Spent $1200 for Electrician to fix. $400 Fiberglass Ladder disappeared, Harold & his Workers only ppl that came in/out, didn't raise @ 1st, but when I was disrespected, yelled @ for voicing other concerns, I raised! And of course, Harold refused to accept responsibility, again turning manipulative/disrespectful, yelling, saying that I'm insulting by accusing him of stealing! Harold took Additional Deposit, September 2023, totaling 35% upfront & I paid for all Material! Was not placed on Schedule, so He worked only consistently during Winter break when Clients were Holiday traveling, etc. from Dec 15-Jan 10, 2024! He never again worked consistently: showed up 1x in Feb, 1x in March! Further, he insisted on weekly Cash Pymnts, but he would jump from Scope to Scope, ensuring he could invoice w/o fully completing any one Scope, giving him all the leverage! So had Scopes started, fully paid & incompete! Fed up in March when He held me hostage to 1 invoice sent wrong 3x's: 1stx formulas on spreadsheet not totaling right so inflated $ owed, 2ndx $900 Cash Pymnt missing from Feb, 3rdx $2200 Cash Pymnt missing from Jan! This $2200 Cash Pymnt was disputed since March, recorded only as $2K pymnt in the end/July! Showed proof that Lauren sent out text in Jan indicating $2200 Pymnt, but Both denied text in most manipulative/deceitful manner, to pt of absurdity, as I showed them both my phone clearly showing text sent by Lauren! From March-July 2024, Harold never fixed the March Invoice b/c he used disputed $2200 Jan Cash Pymnt on March Invoice to buy time in not returning to work. 4 month since March, was beyond fed up, but still did my best to resolve: July 11, spent hour over phone w/ Lauren explaining issues, she tried to manipulate my concerns/facts! Call ended with Notes she took to discuss w/ Harold & we would meet July 15 for her to inspect the issues raised. July 15, Lauren shows up w/ Harold to my surprise & 45 minutes late! Meeting ended with both Lauren & Harold cursing/yelling/slamming items, Lauren stated ("you are f in stupid") & they refused to email corrected March Invoice, wanting me to do verbal math! Lauren only reviewed the Notes from our Thurs call @ Monday's meeting, when they had from Thurs/ 4 Days prior! Harold demanded I go to bank get Cash, as banks were already closed @ 4p! Knew @ that pt I was played more b/c of their manipulative attitude! Harold walked off the job w/ his tools! Thankfully Mom w/ me as Witness. Had earlier Intution to cancel Monday's meeting & text Lauren what's outcome/where's revised March invoice, but decided not/ to show them good faith! Am left with: scopes never touched w/ 35% paid (deposit), scopes paid in full/incomplete & scopes paid/damaged/poor quality; needing extra $ for repair/material! Meaning am out: $31K Cash pymnts to Harold, plus $3K in destroyed material & $15K more to repair work! Harold/Lauren will appear polite @ 1st, but most deceitful/manipulative 2 ppl ever met! DO NOT HIRE HAROLD MAS! Will regret if any issues arise!"

Custom home building FAQs

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.
