How important is landscaping to the project?
We consider site planning and landscape design an important aspect in designing your home. One of our strengths as a company is our ability to create a site plan that creates harmony between your home and nature. We strive to make your home part of the overall outdoor landscape, not an intrusive object that looks incongruous with the land on which it is built. In addition to getting involved, themselves, with site planning, we encourage buyers to get landscape designers involved, as well, early on in the site design stage to ensure an overall smooth process and uniform plan.

Do you do sensitive restorations and remodeling to an existing home?
Yes, we have done many restorations including, (need example here). We welcome the opportunity to meet with you on your remodeling/restoration project and show you some examples of our past work.

At what point can we determine how much it will cost to build the design we have selected?
Budgeting is an integral part of the homebuilding process. We work to create a budget as early as possible in the planning stages. We feel it is important that you are comfortable with the budget and aware of costs associated with your plans as soon as possible. We also feel it is important to keep you updated on the budget, as the scope of your job may change throughout the process. If any changes should occur that will increase the budget, we are ensure we will let you know immediately.

Do you have information on the resale value of your homes?
We have found that our homes appreciate in value far more than many other custom built homes.
