If you have a question or concern that is not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be glad to help you find the answers you need in order to make the best decision that is right for your family.

Q: How long does it take to have a custom home built?

A: The average time for completion from the issuance of the Building Permits is six months.

Q: Will I be responsible for the preparation of my site prior to construction?

A: No, we are a full-service construction company and site preparation will be a part of your quoted costs.

Q: What about well and septic? Will I have to contact licensed professionals to have these put on site? Is this an out-of-pocket expense for me?

A: As a full-service company, we will handle all the arrangements for your well and septic tank installation. A standard fee will be part of your quote and therefore can be made a part of your loan package.

Q: Are there advantages to building as opposed to buying an existing house on the market?

A: There are many advantages to having a custom home built. Control is the first to come to mind. You choose the parcel location to ensure the home is in the area that you prefer, you choose the square footage of the home rather than adapting to what's available in existing homes, and you choose the floor plan that best suits your desires and your family's needs. Also, a new home requires less maintenance and therefore, you reap the benefit of less expense and less time spent with routine upkeep.

Q: Are there other factors I should consider in building my own home?

A: For modern families, creating a design that allows Aging in Place can provide long-term benefits for your health, safety, and security, as well as increasing the value of your home if you should decide to sell.

Q: What if I don't own my property?

A: We will gladly assist in locating the parcel that is right for you and for your custom home.

Q: What if I'm not sure about what the specifics I want in my house? For instance, what if I'm not sure if I would be happier with tile or with hardwood floors? What about cabinetry, there are so many choices, can you assist me in determining what will be best suited for my kitchen lay-out?

A: We work with top quality suppliers who furnish a multitude of choices. We will gladly work with you and with them to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Q: Do I need to have plans drawn before I contact you?

A: If you have plans already drawn that's fine, but if not we work with very knowledgeable and experienced draftsmen and engineers that can guide you through the process.

Q: What about financing? Do I need to seek out a lender before meeting with you?

A: No, we will be glad to meet with you and discuss your project prior to you obtaining financing. We will gladly work with your choice of a financial institution, or we have great relationships with local lenders and will be happy to put you in touch with a loan officer that will give you the personal service you deserve.
