When you are in the market for a new home in Connecticut you have plenty of options. From locations that range from the scenic shoreline to the rustic interior and styles that cover condos, raised-ranches and housing communities, there is certainly no shortage of choices.

Opting for a custom-built home is also something to consider and if you want your new home to be unique, designed for your lifestyle and needs and one that reflects your individual character, custom is the way to go.

There’s nothing wrong with buying an existing home but remember that house was built by someone else and for someone else. Though it may be structurally fine and even well-designed, it won’t have features you need to truly feel at home.

Unless you’re in the business of flipping real estate, you will be occupying your home for quite some time and settling for anything less than what you want doesn’t make sense.

Working with a custom home builder gives you the opportunity to relay our vision to an experienced architect and contractor who can take your ideas and build a home that will reflect your unique lifestyle. Having a say in the floor plan, the look and style of the kitchen, master bedroom and bathrooms allows you to add features that will make living more comfortable and enjoyable.

Another reason to choose a custom home is to avoid looking like everyone else. Nothing upsets a home architect more than tract housing, a bland testament to repetition and conformity. You want a home that is yours, one that reflects your values and your tastes and existing homes will always come up short. Having a say from the beginning on the look and design of your custom home allows you to create a dwelling that won’t look like any other home in the neighborhood.
