Why Hiring a Custom Builder Is Better than Buying an Existing Home
Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013
There’s no debate that buying certain types of existing homes cost less than hiring a custom builder. However, when you consider the value you’re getting for your money, that “savings” may actually end up costing you more in frustration, repairs, and deferred maintenance. Consider some of the advantages of getting your own home built:• Your custom home will have exactly what you want whether it’s five bedrooms, a dedicate home office, or a sunroom with fountain. How much will it cost you to renovate an older home so it contains even 75 percent of your dream home? And how much dust, noise, and lack of privacy can you and your family tolerate as your live through concurrent remodeling?
• With new construction, you won’t have to worry about any hidden repairs and maintenance that are often necessary in an older home. Even the best home inspector may miss critical problems because he cannot peer into the unseen areas of an older house. How much will it cost you to repair a crack that grows in the foundation or inadequate electrical connections? Our homes will be new and repair free – and should you find any minor issues, you can contact us for a quick fix.
• A new home will contain the latest construction technology from adequate connections to handle cable and computers to energy-saving appliances. An older house may be hiding asbestos inside hidden insulation, lead paints, or dangerous overloaded circuity. If you’re also interested in helping the environment, then a new home will always be greener than one built even just a decade ago.
