Frequently Asked Questions
How does the complexity of the build affect the timeline?
The timeline can vary based on the complexity of your home design. A straightforward build with standard features typically takes 6-9 months. For more intricate designs with custom layouts, high-end finishes, or specialty features, the process might extend to 10-14 months. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase to keep you informed every step of the way.
Can I customize my home design?
Absolutely! At Homestead Builders, we specialize in creating custom floor plans and incorporating personalized features to match your vision and lifestyle.
Do you offer a base price for building a home?
We don’t offer a base price. Instead, we use a cost-plus contract with all our clients. This approach ensures transparency and allows you to control your spending based on what you’re comfortable with. It also provides flexibility in choosing materials, finishes, and features that align with your vision and budget.
Will you help me find land for my home?
While we don’t sell land directly, we’re happy to consult with you on finding the right lot and ensuring it meets the requirements for your dream home.
Do I need a construction loan?
In most cases, yes. Construction loans cover the building process, and once the home is complete, it typically transitions to a traditional mortgage. We can guide you through the process and work with your lender to make it seamless.
Are your homes energy-efficient?
Yes! We incorporate modern building practices and materials to ensure your home is energy-efficient, including proper insulation, energy-saving windows, and optional solar-ready setups.
What warranties come with a new home?
Our homes come with a structural warranty and coverage for major systems. Specific details will be provided during the consultation phase to ensure transparency.
Can I visit the construction site?
We encourage clients to stay involved and will schedule walkthroughs at key milestones. For safety reasons, unscheduled visits are not allowed.
How do I start the process of building a home with Homestead Builders?
It all starts with a consultation! We’ll discuss your ideas, budget, and timeline to create a plan that works for you. From there, we’ll move into design, permitting, and construction phases.
What makes Homestead Builders different from other contractors?
