Our Philosophy...
Designed for Your Life
You build a custom home for one reason: because you know that no matter where you search, you'll never find an existing home that measures up to your idea of your perfect home. It is that "idea" that brings people to us. Because we do more than just design and build custom homes. We have a special skill - the ability to draw out your ideas, so that when we put pencil to paper and hammer to nail, the end result is a home that not only reflects your lifestyle but also enhances your life. And that's the perfect home.
Built for a Lifetime
At the Great Room Company we've developed a system and a process for building a house that will last a lifetime and meet a full lifetime of your needs. We have a fully integrated design team and building team; our builders help design your home, and our designers help build your home.
We all work together - so that when unanticipated problems arise - and anticipating all the unknowns is a virtual impossibility in this business - the process of smoothing out the path of construction goes easier. It's easier because our customers are a valued and critical part of our team. We don't make decisions for you. Instead we all work together to make sure you get what you want.
And as the process continues, you'll notice you will feel an ever-growing sense of ownership. Not just of your new home. It will be more than that. You'll feel a sense of ownership as a result of the process. Because you're a part of it. When your home is all finished, you won't say, "This is the house that I had built." You'll say, "This is my new home. I helped design and build it." We value that feeling and we're quite sure you won't get it from working with other custom home builders because they don't work the way we do.
And here are some more of our lasting qualities. During the construction phase of your home, we apply our 25 years of general contracting experience. We use our own framing crews. We trade only with suppliers who meet our demanding standards and with whom we have established relationships. But perhaps most importantly, we talk clearly about pricing and costs. We know you don't like surprises and we don't either. When you work with us, you'll work with customer-oriented accounting worksheets and contracts. Everything is all spelled out because in a business full of unknowns and surprises, we like to keep those at a minimum. The Great Room Company is committed to making the challenge of creating your perfect home as easy and as smooth as possible. We offer a full range of serices to that end.
