"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"Project was well timed and progressed seamlessly through various stages - demolition, framing, installation, finish carpentry and painting so that we lacked access to the second floor for only 1 night. Planning including multiple house calls for precise measurements to maximize dimensions, selecting style options and consulting with lumberyard for stair dimensions and details. The crew was experienced, took pride in their work, and did not skimp on quality or details, independent of time."

"They did an excellent job.  The exterior work was performed a couple of weeks ago, when the weather was nicer, and it was done in a couple of days. (I should note that they have not finished it, to wait until spring to tidy it up and do finishing work on it.)  We have had rain since that work was done, and the family room was dry.  No musty or dampness to the room at all anymore.
The interior work went really well too. He estimated about 3 days, it took 4.  The floor is a bit springy, due to extra insulation and padding being put down underneath it, which is very nice for a floor on a slab. It came out looking excellent.
Dave and his workers were very respectful of us and our home, and enjoyed talking with our 5 year old son who was super interested in watching them.  When it was possible (and safe) they let him watch, and chatted with him.  The guys really couldn't have been nicer.  One day, I was headed to a garage to get my car's starter motor replaced, and one of the guys helped me get it started. He insisted to help me (by going down on the ground and hitting my starter motor with a hammer, which did get it working) even though I tried to get him to not.  
They also put the laminate on a few steps leading down to the family room.  I was unsure about how they were going to do this, and at first was unsure about their suggested solution, but in the end, I really like the look of what they did.
It's been a few days since they finished, I did have to go over some bits here and there, along with the laminate floor to pick up any settled construction dust, which I expected to do.  We've moved furniture back into the room, and it's easily the nicest room in the house now."

"Need a project done quickly and efficiently? Call Tri-County Remodelers! I was very nervous due to the fact it was a huge job. I have an older home and I wanted window replacements throughout the whole home which would entail all custom windows! They were on time and did the job in a couple of days! The three guys took good care of my home and cleaned up nicely. The windows look fabulous! and the next time I need a job done I will definitely call Tri-County:) Bath, New York"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
