By the time people get around to building a custom home, they’ve usually lived in enough places to know what they want in a house and what they definitely do not want. They also usually know what they’re willing to pay to make those desires a reality. It’s so hard,...
One of the many reasons at Babb Custom Homes we love building a custom home, as opposed to a Production home or Spec home, is that we can personalize each house to the homeowner’s wants. For example, a humidor is difficult to incorporate into a home that was built without...
Trying to find the right home location for your new custom home is a little like trying to find the right spouse. In both cases we see thousands of options, most of which are already taken; friends make lots of suggestions, most of which are terrible; we go through the...
