Great list of questions to ask a builder Penny! Thanks for sharing these! Steve
You build a nice looking home; those are good questions too.
Yes, Penny - Thanks for sharing! This is great advise to know. Your houses do look exceptional.
Steve - We suggest starting with a home plan book (or books) and jotting down questions and noting favorites as you go. By the time you've narrowed down to 2-3 floor plans, you'll have a good idea of what you'd like - and it's usually some combination of features.
Good post Penny with a lot of useful links. I hope that you have had a great weekend.
Stephen and Tanya - Glad to help. We'll continue working to share questions and answers. Happy to hear you find our homes appealing. At Stanton Homes, we work hard to provide a home that stands out - at an affordable price point.
