Why You Should Always Use Custom Home Builders if You Want Your House to Last a Lifetime

Construction & Contractors Blog

Sometimes when you start construction on a house you have no intention of living in it forever. Perhaps you just moved and are trying out a new neighborhood or maybe it is purely for a job opportunity. However, when you reach an age where you want to settle down, have kids, and grow your family then you probably will want a house that lasts a lifetime, not something that is temporary.

When that itch to settle down overwhelms you, you should always work with custom home builders for your project, and here are a few reasons why.

1. Complete Control

Custom home builders are a specific niche in the construction industry that focuses on everything to do with building your home, from organizing the electrical work and plumbing, to helping you find the best cabinets and kitchen decorations. They have many different people working in each area of the company so that no matter what it is you will have an expert opinion at the ready. They also allow you to have much more flexible options when it comes to features like large windows, huge living rooms, themed bedrooms, and so on. If you want to build something from scratch and hate hearing the word no, custom home builders are the only choice.

2. Better Workmanship

One of the main differentiating qualities between custom home builders and traditional construction crews is just the finishing quality of your home. From the external facades that are immaculately detailed to the internal finishing of your floor and joinery, the difference is night and day. This is no budget builder trying to save every penny, this is a loving craftsman trying to create a home that you can be happy in for the rest of your life. That means that everything that is created is built to last with fine quality materials.

3. Someone to Be With You From Start to Finish

Often when constructing a home of any size it is common for owners to use multiple companies to do everything from design the floor plans to insert the electronics and even clean up the mess at the very end of construction. This leaves the chance for bad communication errors if you are not careful, and this is often why buildings get delayed or plans are accidentally ignored. When you use custom home builders they oversee your whole project and they are there at the start and with you at the finish, ensuring that exactly what you want is what you get.

Leaking Roofs and Roof Repairs

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
