We have an independent rating company inspect our homes before, during and after construction to ensure the energy efficency and comfort of our homes.
2) Q: How long will it take to build my home?
A: Waiting for your dream home to be complete is hard! But George Sherman will not cut corners or compromise quality in order to speed up the process. The length of time required to build your new home depends largely on the unique custom features you have chosen. Generally speaking the time is between five and twelve months.
3) Q: This is our first home, and we need help making some of the choices – not just what some salesman wants to sell us, but what we actually need for our lifestyle. Do you have people who can help with this?
A: Yes, one of the things that set George Sherman apart from other builders is that from the start of our relationship with you, we consider your lifestyle and needs throughout the process. How you will actually live in the house from day to day is important, and our team will be happy to help you make choices that will not only be deeply satisfying for you now, but will also ensure the re-sale value of your home in the future.
4) Q: We are getting ready to retire and looking to downsize from our current home. What options are available to us?
A: George will work one on one with you to custom build your new home. Whether you need to make room in the garage for the boat or need flexible rooms that can change their purpose with your changing needs, we take your ideas and make them a reality. That's why it is very important for us to take the time to really understand what "makes your home a home".
5) Q: What's the going square foot price of a new home?
A: If we were a production builder that built the same old house everyday we could answer that rather quickly. Unfortunately, custom homes are not created equal. To really get accurate pricing we need a working set of plans with everything that goes into the home, lot information, area where home is to be built, etc. Then we could arrive at an accurate cost. That is why it is important to talk with you many times to understand your desires, wants, needs and dreams.
testimonials
"We cannot say enough nice things about our custom home building experience. We interviewed several builders prior to making our decision. George Sherman made us feel very comfortable with his ability to provide exactly what we wanted in a home.
George and his team did not treat us as a client, they treated us as friends, which is a statement to the customer focus he provides. As the months progressed we were convinced that we made the right choice in builders. George was by far the most professional and compettitive in the custom home market.
His team worked to guide us through the home building process and ensure that the final product exceeded our expectations in terms of design, quality and cost. Building a new home with George was a positive experience that we look forward to repeating one day." - Darius and Loretta Greer
