When you’re thinking about building a custom home, putting an addition on your home, doing a large remodel, or remodeling your kitchen and/or bathroom, it is natural to think of how much it’s going to cost. The truth is, it’s probably going to cost a lot more than you think. We saw a huge jump in prices during the COVID crisis, and while we all hoped prices would go back down, the fact is, they just haven’t. In fact, residential construction prices today are somewhere between 35%-60% higher than prices were before COVID, and there is no sign of prices going down anytime soon.
It may seem like the only way around crazy prices is to go with lowest bidder – even if this means using unlicensed companies. Unfortunately, that is a sure way to get burned, and our area of the Ozarks is rife with “contractors” taking advantage of folks. Although it may seem counter-intuitive, you’re best opportunity to end up with a new home or a remodeled home that you’re happy with is not to consider price first – it’s actually to consider the relationship first!
In fact, it was walking through many historic mansions, 100 year old farm houses, and restored mid-century moderns that lead us to our tagline – We Build Legacies.
We are a small builder with a dedication to our clients, and although we are far from the cheapest, we work very hard to insure that every project we are involved in not only turns out beautifully, but will last for years to come. In fact, it was walking through many historic mansions, 100 year old farm houses, and restored mid-century moderns that lead us to our tagline – We Build Legacies. When you walk through beautiful homes that are a century old (or more) and you can still see the details and craftsmanship shining through, well, that is a legacy home! We want everything we build to stand the test of time, to last generations, and to be a structure called “home” year after year after year.
The truth is, delivering a high-quality home or remodel is not an inexpensive task. We are dedicated to using the highest quality materials, the highest skilled contractors, and taking the necessary amount of time to “pre-game” with our clients, to insure that the final product will be a success, and that you can enjoy your legacy for years into the future.
So how much does it cost to build a legacy? Well, that depends on many factors, but you can use our estimators as a good starting place!
