Custom Homes

We want your dream home to become your reality. We’re ready to work with you on the plan of your dreams. And if you don’t have a specific plan in mind but have ideas on some of the necessities for your new home, then we’ll help you create a plan that meets those objectives. Not only will we help you bring your dream home to life, but we’ll also make sure that your new home is properly suited to the land where it will be built. We don’t force-fit a plan. Rather, we make sure that the home, its foundation, and the land it will be built on are intended to work together.

Home renovations and remodeling

Though most homes are built to last, it is no doubt that styles come and go. What might have been in fashion when you created your home might no longer be the look you are going for. We’re here to help you take your favorites spaces and make them feel new again through a renovation or remodel. Whether you are looking to remodel your kitchen or bathroom or you are looking to finally finish that basement, we’ve got you covered.

Home additions

A growing family means the need for more space. And the thought of moving can create tension within the family, especially if you love the home you are in and just wish you had more of it to go around. We’ve worked with clients on home addition projects for their kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and other areas of the home. We’ve even added bedrooms and bathrooms to an existing home. We’ve even added second stories when the only place to grow was to go up. Whatever addition you are looking for, we can create one that looks like it was intended as part of the original design.

Custom decks and porches

With staycations more popular than ever, family members love to take to the outdoors in the evenings and on the weekends. A custom deck or porch can help you to relax without making you leave home. Whether you are looking for treated hardwood, composite, or vinyl decking, or you are looking for an all-season or partial season porch, we’ll help you create that outdoor or semi-outdoor living space that you so desire.

After you have interviewed your potential home construction partners, consider what they shared with you regarding their references. If they are unwilling to share references with you or want to facilitate the discussion, then that builder is not the right partner for you. A reputable custom home builder, roofer, or remodeler will be confident in their work and will trust you do navigate the reference call on your own and at your own convenience.

Make sure that you feel good about the licensing and certification information that you shared. You can always reach out to your state government to confirm whether or not a builder is on file and is as reputable as they say they are. Remember that the building materials and materials used by your home builder will play a critical role in the efficiency, durability, and long-term sustainability of your home. A reputable home builder that is licensed and certified will take this seriously.

Not only that, but communication lines need to be open from the very beginning. How open was the builder to answering your questions? Did it feel like an open and honest discussion? Did the builder come across as trustworthy and put you at ease, or did you feel like they were telling you only what you wanted to hear? Be sure that during your discussion you also get a solid feel for the price, schedule for the project, what is included, and what isn’t.

Transparency in communication is what sets us apart as the best home building partner. Honest builders such as Stillwater Construction will have nothing to hide. They’ll be open about their successes and failures and will take earning your trust quite seriously.
