Crafting Your Dream Home from the Ground Up
Building a new custom home in the Sacramento Area should be one of the most rewarding experiences a family can have. Being given the keys to unlock the new custom home that you helped design and watched grow and come to fruition can rank right up there with the other BIG life experiences like weddings and babies- and there is a reason for that. Undergoing a new residential construction project of a new custom home is huge undertaking and for many home owners, it can be stressful and at times, even overwhelming.
Choosing a general contractor to shepherd you through the process of a Sacramento area new custom home build is going to be as critical as who you hired as your wedding coordinator and who your child’s pediatrician is. These life-changing experiences should not be left up to just anyone, especially if you want it done right.
There are a few critical considerations to make when selecting a Sacramento Area general contractor for a new home build:
1. How many new homes has the general contractor built in the Sacramento Area? It is imperative that your contractor have experience in building houses similar to what you envision for your family- and that they have built homes from the ground up.
2. Does the general contractor have a team of trusted sub-contractors who specialize in the trades like framers, plumbers, electricians, granite fabrication and tile masons? Your builder is not going to be doing every little thing on their own. An exceptional general contractor is only as good as his subs and his ability to manage them.
3. Does the general contractor have a list of referrals who you can actually contact? Sure, you can go to anyone’s testimonial page for rave reviews, but is Mrs. Smith a real person, or is it the contractor’s grandma? Would other builders praise your contractor’s work?
Elite Construction and Remodeling’s general contractor is Travis Perez. He has supervised the construction of 100s of homes in the greater Sacramento Area, including dozens of high-end custom homes in El Dorado Hills (Ridgeview, Serano), Granite Bay, Lincoln and Elk Grove. He has worked with the same team of subcontractors for over a decade so they know exactly what to expect from one another and the new construction goes off without a hitch. Travis is a “word of mouth” builder- meaning 90% of his clients have been referred to him by a friend or family member, and he would be happy to provide you with a referral list of his clients, none of whom are named Mrs. Smith.
