Design/Build Company upholding our obligation to perform the highest quality of work and professional service. It is with great pride we hold our customer's satisfaction paramount in our operations

"The whole experience was terrible. Thomas is a great salesman, but do not be fooled; once he has the money, you are screwed. Be prepared for poor communication, a lack of accountability, and poor craftsmanship. They do not monitor the quality of the subcontractors, nor do they care; they only want your money, and they upcharge at every chance they get. When you hold payment because the work is not completed, McCloskey Homes will threaten to stop all work. This guy is a complete liar. My wife and I had the misfortune of having him build our home with McCloskey Homes. I am stuck with the bill for correcting all the items that are of poor quality, and the list is extensive. According to Thomas, all the issues that are wrong with the home are my fault for moving in. There is no warranty, no punch list items will be dealt with, and no damage they caused will be corrected; they just get your money and move on to the next victim. Save yourself the aggravation and find a more competent contractor. I would never recommend McCloskey Homes to anyone."

FAQs for custom home building projects in Tavares, FL

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
