We strive to provide our customers with exceptional workmanship, extraordinary service and professional integrity.
- Do you have already built spec homes or is each home built from scratch?
- We occasionally have spec homes for sale, but typically each home is custom built to meet our customers needs.
- How do we pick a good location and lot?
- While some customers already have their own lots, others choose to use our in-house real estate professional to assist them with their lot needs.
- How do we begin the process of designing our new home?
- You begin the design process by choosing one of our pre-existing plans or bringing your own as a starting point. We then work with you to figure out what styles work with your personal taste, as well as figure the room sizes needed to make your dream home a reality.
- How long will it take and how much will it cost?
- This is one of the most frequently asked questions, however it is the most difficult question to answer. Every home is different than the last one. Style, size, construction material, timing of the project, as well as the level of detail, all play a major role in the price per square foot of new home construction. After your new home consultation with Eastmond Enterprises, we will be able to answer this question more efficiently.
- How do we work together during the construction phase and what if we make a change in the middle of the project?
- Eastmond Enterprises will accommodate any changes that are needed to make your dream home possible. Changes will be handled through our change order process.
- How do you handle problems?
- The management of Eastmond Enterprises believes the best way to solve a problem is to avoid creating one. We have over 21 years in the custom home building business to help us avoid the most simple problems to very complex problems. If a problem does arise, we will handle it in a professional manner and strive to keep our valuable customers satisfied.
- What is Your Warranty?
- We provide a one (1) year warranty on all of our homes, as a standard. An additional extended warranty can be purchased.
- We are thinking about building a custom home, but have never built before. What are the things we should consider?
- One often overlooked factor is the Florida weather. Due to this, choosing the right time of year to build can have an impact on the timing of your project. The best time of the year to build would be the Fall, Winter or Spring months, since the weather cooperates.
- We are already very busy with work, family, and other activities. Isn't building a new home going to take a lot of our time?
- At Eastmond Enterprises, we fully understand how busy your lives can be. We will work to minimize your expenditure of time and energy. We have streamlined the process of building so efficiently that even the busiest people can build their dream home without drastically changing their everyday schedules.
- Once we've made our decisions and the house has been started, how often do we need to go to the construction site to check on progress?
- You probably will not have to go to it at all if you don't want to; however, you are welcome to do so at any time during the process with an Eastmond Enterprises representative. Once you have made your decisions, it's our job to see that the construction is done correctly. At the outset, we will give you a tentative schedule to give you an idea when specific steps of construction will happen. From that time on, we will be emailing pictures to show you exactly what is happening at the building site of your dream home.
