FAQs

Common Questions About Our Services

What is siding?

Siding is the exterior material that protects your home from the elements. It enhances your home's appearance and energy efficiency. Various materials, such as vinyl, wood, and fiber cement, are commonly used.

How long does siding last?

The lifespan of siding varies by material. Vinyl siding can last up to 40 years, while wood siding may need replacement every 20 years. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your siding significantly.

Is siding weather resistant?

Yes, quality siding is designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, wind, and snow. Materials like fiber cement and vinyl offer excellent resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Proper installation is key to maximizing durability.

Can I paint siding?

Yes, most siding types can be painted, especially wood and fiber cement. However, vinyl siding typically requires special paint for best results. Always consult with a professional to determine the best approach for your siding.

What is the cost?

The cost of siding installation varies based on material, labor, and your home's size. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $3,000 and $15,000. For a precise estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation.

What is the process of building a custom home?

Building a custom home involves several steps:

  • Initial Consultation: Meet with a builder or architect to discuss your vision, budget, and timeline.
  • Design Phase: Create architectural plans and blueprints based on your preferences.
  • Permits and Approvals: Obtain necessary zoning and construction permits.
  • Construction: Build the home, including foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, and finishing.
  • Final Walkthrough: Review the completed home and address any final adjustments before moving in.

How long does it take to build a custom home?

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the design, weather conditions, and the availability of materials and labor. On average, it can take 9-18 months from the initial design phase to completion.

What factors affect the cost of building a custom home?

Several factors influence the cost, including:

  • Size and square footage of the home
  • Quality and type of materials chosen
  • Design complexity
  • Location and site preparation needs
  • Additional features, such as smart home systems, landscaping, or custom finishes

Do I need a construction loan to build a custom home?

Yes, most people secure a construction loan to fund the building process. These loans are typically short-term and are converted into a standard mortgage once the home is completed. Work with a lender experienced in construction financing to streamline the process.  We have preferred lenders if you would like recommendations.

Can I make changes during the construction of my custom build?

Yes, but changes during construction (often called change orders) may affect your timeline and budget. It’s best to finalize as many details as possible during the design phase to avoid unexpected costs or delays. Always consult your builder before making changes.
