It's Schumacher Custom

To some, custom means starting from a complete blank slate (yikes).

To others, custom is just the option to pick out some paint colors (also yikes).

At this point, it’s difficult to know what “custom” actually means. So, in the spirit of transparency, here’s what custom means to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

See All FAQs
When in the planning process should I hire a custom home builder?

Ideally, you should involve a builder before you finalize plans or purchase land. Bringing them in early lets you align design with budget and avoid costly site surprises.

What financial questions should I ask beyond price and contract type?

Ask how and when payments are collected, whether they help coordinate with your lender, and what happens if your appraisal comes in low. Clarify policies for cost overruns.

How is working with a fully custom builder different from a semi-custom or production builder?

Fully custom builders offer more flexibility in floor plans and materials but usually require more decisions. Semi-custom or production builders often limit choices, which can simplify decisions but restrict personalization.

What are warning signs that I should avoid a particular custom home builder?

Be wary of builders who resist putting details in writing or pressure you to sign quickly. Frequent staff turnover, poor responsiveness, or inconsistent online reviews can also signal future problems.

How should I prepare before my first meeting with a custom home builder?

Come with a realistic budget range, a list of must-haves, and any example floor plans you like. If you already own land, bring any surveys or documents you have.

What should I ask about building in an HOA or master-planned community?

Ask if the builder has worked with that HOA before and how they handle architectural review approvals. Confirm how HOA rules might affect your design and exterior materials.

How can I evaluate a builder’s approach to healthy, sustainable materials?

Ask which low-VOC paints and flooring they use by default and what eco-friendly options are available. Request examples of past projects where they incorporated energy-efficient systems and durable materials.
