The Truth About Construction

More than 50 percent of custom homeowners are not satisfied with their builder at the conclusion of home construction. With so many elements and dimensions in the construction process, detailed planning, craftsmanship and follow through are the exception but should to be rule. Reach out and ask custom homeowners what their likes and dislikes were with their home construction. This becomes a valuable tool when considering a custom homebuilder. Preston Homes of Texas has declined projects when the proper ingredients and planning were not in place to insure success.

After visiting with an industry professional on what homeowners were requesting in a new home, we received this reply, "It does not matter what you put in the walls. People can't see it. They only care about what they can see."

What you cannot see is one of the most important aspects of your home. Those include electrical, plumbing, insulation, HVAC, and structure. A quality home is a home that retains its integrity many years after construction. Basically, you don't really know what you have until you have lived in it for quite some time. After the first few thunderstorms with high winds you may notice the framing blocking that the other builders might have missed is now causing your home to creak or the plumbing lines that were not insulated properly and touching metal may likely start to leak after several years and the hole in the air conditioning line that is leaking into the attic and costing you hundreds of dollars on your electric bill. What you can't see is important!
