Custom Home Definition

Definition: Custom Home
[kuhs-tuh m hohm]

A custom home is a one-of-a-kind home that is designed for a specific client and for a particular location. Custom homes afford consumers the opportunity to have a say in layout, lot size, and accessibility. In most cases, custom home builders construct on land the home buyer already owns.

YOU WANNA REALLY KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THE RED DOOR? WHAT REALLY SETS US APART?

Most builders force customers to choose between a quality home or an affordable price. The magic of Red Door... the reason people say we sound "too good to be true" (until they become Red Door homeowners), is our ability to build superior quality homes, filled with quality features from trusted brands, all at an extremely attractive price.

I'll tell you what's behind the Red Door... it's VALUE!

Take a look at our impressive included features. No two homes we build at Red Door are the same - each is customized by folks just like you. We intentionally start our homes with quality features that you need, but we don't make assumptions on what you want to customize - to make it your DREAM Home. Personal Choices are just that, Personal! We give you a value-priced home and it is up to you to decide how to PERSONALIZE it to become your DREAM Home.

See Personal Choices for more ideas on how we can PERSONALIZE YOUR DREAM HOME!!
