The point is, hot-dipped galvanized nails will do the job for 99% of the houses out there. I'd only specify stainless roofing nails if I lived at or close to the ocean. Hot-dipped galvanized nails can last well over 100 years in non-oceanic climates.he point is, hot-dipped galvanized nails will do the job for 99% of the houses out there.

Costs more to build out. As you said, there are all kinds of other factors, but the same square footage in two stories will cost less to build than in one. Most homes with traditional foundations can sustain a second floor addition without additional support.
Good question, but too many variables to answer without more detail. Location, size, level of finish and many other factors can cause the costs to soar. You could build a home for $150 to $200 per square foot, but certain areas and finishes could conceivably double that amount.Especially when you say 'custom' home. There are builder homes, semicustom, and ultimate custom homes with unlimited costs involved to get exactly what the buyer wants.ood question, but too many variables to answer without more detail.
