"We wanted to modernize and expand our existing deck. Pete from Tise Home Builders put a lot of effort into listening to our ideas. He then came up with alternative 3D computer designs which helped us visualize possibilities. After we settled on a plan, Pete gave us a detailed proposal and patiently worked with us on choice of materials to find a good balance between value and quality. We had a lot of questions as the work progressed, and Pete was flexible about accommodating us with some desired changes. Pete takes great pride in his work. He and his phenomenal crew created a spectacular multilevel deck with Timbertech decking, railings, and post caps and stair riser LED lighting. Everyone who sees it is impressed, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Many thanks and a high recommendation for Tise Home Builders!"

Marco Polo Home Builder has been building homes & doing renovations all over Massachusetts with a great combination of skills-building knowledge, craftsmanship, and professional project management. Over the years, we understood that construction is about wood, bricks, and family. We take our job thoughtfully because we know that a home is the most sanctified place for a person. We value our clients' needs and work with our crew and subcontractors to prioritize them. We aim to make your dream project a reality and hope to be on this journey with you.

"In addition to the kitchen, they also remodeled our bathroom. Marco was sensitive to the fact that we only had one bathroom and made sure we were out the facilities for the minimum time possible. Our bathroom remodel was completed with lightning speed which we really appreciated! The kitchen remodel was also speedy. They worked with our requirements for smaller than usual appliances, finding, and even building, cabinets to fit our small kitchen space. Everyone who worked on our projects were very professional, wearing masks and keeping windows open even in the winter months. We're very happy with our new kitchen and bathroom!"

Find a custom home builders FAQs

Manufactured homes roll out of the factory on a permanent steel chassis that meets HUD codes and lets you move the entire structure later. Modular homes, by contrast, arrive in sections that a crew sets on a permanent foundation, just like a stick‑built house. If you want the durability, customization options, and traditional financing of a site‑built home—but still appreciate factory efficiency—a modular build is the better fit.

Adding a modular wing usually runs 10% to 15% less than building a standalone unit. You’ll save on site work and keep the footprint smaller, yet still gain the extra square footage you need. Because modular pricing is tied to square feet, trimming size is the quickest way to trim cost without sacrificing quality.

Yes, modular homes retain their value if built and maintained well. Appraisers use the same criteria for modular and stick‑built homes, so a well‑maintained modular home keeps pace with the local market. Boost value further with buyer‑friendly upgrades—think high ceilings, efficient HVAC, and durable finishes. Those touches help your investment stay competitive for the long haul.

Once the modules hit your site, crews usually need four to six weeks to set and finish the home. Counting design, permits, and site prep, plan on four to six months from contract to move‑in. Stay in close touch with your builder to keep the schedule on track and tackle any hiccups fast.
