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!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the custom home building process work?

We start with a consultation to understand your vision. Then we move through planning and design, budgeting, preconstruction, construction, and a final walkthrough. You work directly with the builder at every stage.

How long does it take to build a custom home?

Most of our custom homes take 6–12 months from breaking ground to final walkthrough. Larger or more complex builds typically run 12–18 months. We’ll lay out a realistic schedule for your project before construction starts and keep you posted as it moves along.

What does a custom home cost?

Our custom home projects typically range from $400,000 to $1 million+. Final cost depends on size, finishes, and the site itself. During planning and budgeting, we’ll work through real numbers with you so there are no surprises.

Do I need to own land before we start?

No. If you already own land, we’ll start there. If not, we can begin planning and budgeting while you search – and we can help evaluate lots for buildability, utilities, access, and site development costs.

Can you build from my existing plans?

Yes. If you already have plans, we can review them and build from them. If you don’t have plans yet, we can help you develop a design that fits your needs and budget.

Do you also handle remodeling projects?

Yes. Custom homes are our focus, but we also do kitchen and bathroom remodels, major additions, and exterior renovations.
