Your Custom Home Journey: What to Expect at Each Step with Reeves Custom Homes

Building a custom home is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences, but it can also be overwhelming if you're not sure what to expect at each stage. At Reeves Custom Homes, we pride ourselves on providing a smooth, transparent, and stress-free building experience. From selecting your dream design to moving in, we're with you every step of the way.

Let's walk through the six key steps of our custom home building process in Hampstead, NC, and surrounding areas, so you'll know exactly what to expect as you embark on your journey to your new home.

Step 1: Home Design & Dream Location

The journey to your custom home begins with a design that reflects your unique vision and a location that complements your lifestyle. Whether you already have a design in mind or need help creating the perfect layout, we'll collaborate closely with you to bring your dream to life.

What to expect:

• Design Consultation: We'll sit down with you to understand your needs, preferences, and vision. If you have a plan in mind, we'll review it together. If not, we'll guide you through the process of creating a design that works for your family.

Step 2: Budgets & Specifications

Once we've settled on a design and location, it's time to focus on specifications and set a realistic budget. At Reeves Custom Homes, we believe in complete transparency throughout this phase. We work closely with you to ensure that your budget aligns with your dream home.

What to expect:

• Detailed Budget Breakdown: Based on the design and specifications, we provide you with a clear and comprehensive budget that includes all the elements of your home. From foundation to finishes, we'll help you understand where your money is going.
• Option for Modifications: If the initial budget doesn't align with your priorities, we'll offer suggestions and alternative options to help you make educated decisions.

Step 3: Design Selections

Now that your budget and specifications are in place, it's time to dive into the design selection process. This is where your home truly begins to take shape, from flooring and countertops to appliances and fixtures.

What to expect:

• Vendor Recommendations: We'll provide you with our list of trusted vendors to help you select everything from flooring to lighting.
• Allowances: Reeves Custom Homes will provide you with allowances so the vendors can show you options in your price range.

Step 4: Construction Launch & Quality Control

After finalizing designs and selections, we move into the construction phase. This is where the magic happens! Our experienced team starts building your custom home, and we ensure that quality is at the forefront every step of the way.

What to expect:

• Scheduling Updates: You'll receive regular updates on construction milestones and timelines. We believe in keeping you informed so you know exactly where your project stands.
• Jobsite Walkthroughs: We schedule walkthroughs with our trade partners at key milestones. These meetings allow you to see your home taking shape and address any questions you may have.
• Quality Control: We have built strong relationships with our trade partners, ensuring that every phase of construction meets our high-quality standards.

Step 5: New Home Orientation

Before you move into your new home, we conduct a thorough New Home Orientation. This step is essential to ensure everything in your new home is working perfectly and that you're fully comfortable with all the features.

What to expect:

• Room-by-Room Walkthrough: We'll go through each room in detail, ensuring that all fixtures, appliances, and systems are functioning correctly.
• Final Checks: We'll address any final touch-ups or minor adjustments, so you can move in with confidence, knowing everything is just as it should be.

Step 6: Customer Care

At Reeves Custom Homes, our commitment to you doesn't end at move-in. We provide a one-year builder warranty to ensure that any issues that arise during the first year are addressed promptly and efficiently.

What to expect:

• 1-Year Warranty: Our warranty covers operational and cosmetic issues that may occur in the first 12 months.
• End-of-Year Touch-Ups: At the end of the first year, we'll return to address any remaining cosmetic concerns and perform touch-ups.
