Ambassador Home Improvement has been recognized as a top renovation and construction company by many homeowners on Long Island. One main reason is that we are one of the few residential contracting companies on Long Island with an "all in-house" team of professionals. Another is due to the value our clients receive in cost, quality of materials and turnaround time. Contact us today for a free consultation.

"From the day we hired Ambassador Home Improvement my wife & I were blown away by the company's professionalism. Unlike other contractors, our project manager was on site daily coordinating with their brilliant carpenters. Every team of professionals they brought in did a great job as well, making significant improvements to my homes plumbing & electrical systems. There were no surprise chargers or fees and our project stayed within the budget unless we chose an added service. I would highly recommend Ambassador to anyone looking to do a home project. They worked every day, never disappeared and once, when we had an issue with our HVAC, Joe our project manager moved heaven & earth to get someone here during a heat wave! They were able to get my system back on that same day! There is no job too big or small for them. Please think Ambassador for your next home project."

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.
