In addition to our custom-building service, we can remodel and relocate preexisting homes as well. Do you specialize in any specific design styles? Our team has the expertise to realize any architectural style you desire—from transitional to farmhouse, Key West to contemporary, and Mediterranean to modern. Additionally, we’ve built luxury, two-story townhomes complexes like 906 Villas and 7 on 7th in Delray Beach. What are the benefits of building a customresidence, buying amove- in ready house or renovating your own home? There are advantages for each. Customization puts you in the proverbial driver’s seat because you determine every detail, from the architectural style to the square footage. A move-in property often brings more convenience—and less stress—because features like millwork, beautiful finishes, and built-in upgrades like smart-home and energy-efficient technology are already chosen and installed. Home renovation usually means spending less than building and buying because you’re remodeling on a room-by- room basis, so you’ll get a great product without spending a fortune. Plus, you keep all the memories you’ve made.
