Top 5 Reasons for Working with a Custom Home Builder

At Fortin Construction, you know we pride ourselves on being the premiere home builder in Southern Maine. Our business is custom homes because we truly believe custom homes are the best option for you and your family when it comes to your home solutions. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should work with a custom home builder. 

1.    You choose the location.

Finding a home that has all the space and amenities you need, is located near work/school/family, and is within your budget is near impossible. It’s so rare for all those stars to align that you already know you’ll have to compromise something. But you shouldn’t have to. You should be able to live in the exact area you want. Building a custom home allows you to choose your perfect location.  

2.    You get to live in your design.

After setting a budget, the very next step in building your dream home is sitting down with one of our in-house designers. You’ll discuss what you do and don’t want in your home and find out what’s feasible within your budget. You benefit from our staff’s years of experience in designing and building hundreds of unique homes. You get floorplans that are designed with your family’s needs in mind instead of something out of a catalog. You get to determine how energy efficient you want your home to be. All of the decisions about your home are made by you, not someone else. 

3.    You’ll get premium materials.

Part of determining everything about your home is also the materials that go into it. And you want premium materials that will stand the test of time. If you weren’t a part of the initial building process, you don’t know what materials are in your home. At Fortin, we provide a warranty on all our construction work, so we want your home to last too and use the right materials to get you the best results.

4.    You have a single point of contact.

Fortin Construction serves as designer, architect, and builder for your new home. No more hassle with the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. Instead, a custom home builder provides you with a team approach. Hiring a team to complete your home construction saves you time, money, and a lot of headache.

5.    You’re a lifetime member of the Fortin Construction family.

It is probably unrealistic to think that one home will fit your family’s needs forever—although that’s certainly ideal. If you need a remodel or home additions, we’re there for you. And as a member of the Fortin Construction family, you’ll be the first to receive discounts and benefits. Plus, we’re always available for advice—whether that’s for re-caulking your bathtub or choosing the right driveway material

So if you’re looking for a new home, look no further. We can’t wait to see how happy you are in your Fortin-built home!
