Have you been searching high and low in the perfect neighborhood but haven’t been able to find the home of your dreams? Well, let The Pros build one for you! The cost of building a home is typically right on target with the cost of purchasing one, if not less or a tad more. The Pros (pun intended) of building your very own home include complete customization, it being brand new, you get to choose every facet and most importantly, you can incorporate everything you are looking for in a home right down to the knobs and pulls on your cabinets.

The average cost to build a home starts at $90 per square foot. It can easily be more but it usually is not less than this.

Many home across the US are older. Newer homes have an advantage over old homes in the sense of energy efficiency and building codes. Buying an older home typically comes with some of the side effects of an older home such as outdated plumbing and electrical or having lead paint and asbestos present in the home.

The benefits of building your own home strongly outweigh many of the cons associated with building a ground up. Some of the benefits include:

Buying a fully built home typically comes with the needed improvements and remodeling. We have remodeled homes that clients purchased that were just built because they needed some improvements to suit their needed. Since you are building your home from scratch, all these updates will be included and your home will be turn-key.

BRAND NEW

Compared to many states across the US, Texas is home to some of the younger homes with the average home in Texas being built in the early 2000s. However, there are still many areas of Texas where homes are on the older side. Having a new home increases its value to potential buyers.

Building your own home also saves on the heartache of finding that perfect home only to have lost it during the bidding process.

WARRANTY

Ground Ups come with a 1 year warranty attached with an option to purchase and extended warranty.

THE BIG REVEAL

So, this is a huge pro for us. We absolutely love revealing the finished product to our clients. During the build, we grow a relationship with our clients as it’s a process, and sometimes a long process. There is nothing more satisfying and rewarding for our company than to see the look on our clients faces from seeing their home fully complete down to the last knob and pull installed.
