Custom Homes FAQ
How long does it take to build a custom home in Windsor?+
A 1,500-2,000 sq ft custom home takes 4-6 months; a 2,000-3,000 sq ft home takes 6-9 months; a luxury estate can take 9-14 months. Weather, permit timelines, and material lead times all factor in. We provide a detailed schedule and weekly updates throughout construction.
Do you handle all permits for a custom home?+
Yes. We handle the full permit process — site plan approval, building permits, plumbing, electrical (ESA), and occupancy permits — with the City of Windsor or your local municipality. We coordinate all inspections so your home is fully code-compliant and ready for occupancy.
Can I customize every aspect of my custom home?+
Absolutely. A custom home means every layout, material, and finish is your choice. We guide you through selections — from floor plan to faucet — and provide 3D renderings and material samples so you can visualize the result before construction begins. Your budget and lot constraints guide what's feasible.
