Custom Homes, Barndominiums, and Major Additions
Our core work is building custom homes from the ground up — including barndominiums and major additions. If you need remodeling, we do that too: kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior renovations.
What Our Clients Say
I couldn’t be happier! Custom Home Services renovated the entire exterior of my home from the roof to the foundation and added a garage. Alex, Cory & every crew member were wonderful to work with. They communicated with me every step of the way. All of my questions were answered thoroughly & respectfully and the work was completed within my requested timeframe. These guys are experienced professionals. I really feel that they worked on my home as though it were their own. They have a customer for life!
Patty Tice
We used Custom Home Services for a large interior paint job in our home. The professionalism of the owner when he came out to quote us was superb! The pricing was more than fair and the quality of work performed was amazing! Would definitely recommend! The project was also completed in a very timely manner. We will be using them for more projects in the future.
April Love
We sold our home and after inspection we needed several things fixed in order to close. Alex came out and gave a fair estimate. He even showed me how I could fix some of the smaller things myself. His knowledge of construction was impressive and he explained how he would be fixing everything which I appreciated. He did fantastic work and cleaned up. He even went above and beyond by noticing something extra and fixing it. When it came time to pay he charged me exactly what he estimated. I will never call anyone else when I have home repair/remodeling. Great work Alex!
