How We Build Our Homes

We are different from other builders.  Custom Living uses the finest materials and attention-to-detail during all phases of construction.  Our sites are neat and orderly, schedules are professionally managed, and sub-contractors are supervised daily.  Visit our home sites, meet the builder, and see this first-hand.   

 

Custom Living begins with choice real estate on which to build our homes.

 

Clearing and excavation work is done to prepare the lot for the home's foundation.

 

Professional grading of your lot ensures proper water drainage for future landscaping.

 

Open floor plans provide functional space and dramatic formal areas.  Homes feature multiple two-story space, first floor masters, private baths on the 2nd floor, bonus rooms, and gourmet kitchens. 

 

Foundation work begins the exciting start of the home and sets the groundwork for quality construction.

 

 Proper footing drains ensure that your home is dry on the interior and exterior of the foundation.

 

Crushed stone is used in the crawlspace to help eliminate moisture and allow for outdoor storage. 

 

 Quality base material is compacted under the garage concrete floor to prevent cracking which can occur during settling.

 

Framing begins with installation of the floor joists on the first floor.

 

First floor exterior walls are framed.

 

Framing continues on the second floor.  The base material for the driveway is spread and compacted down.

 

The home continues to take shape with roofing rafters and interior framing.

 

 The roof is complete, window installation continues, and interior framing is finalized. 

 

The home is now fully weather-proofed with roofing shingles, windows, and exterior doors.  Progress moves inside with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins.

 

With brick siding almost complete, interior sheetrock will soon begin. 

 

Interior works now includes cabinet and flooring installation. 

 

Our homes are completed with generous allowances on the interior and exterior landscaping.  Visit our Photo Gallery to see the interior of our homes.
