Benefits of Custom Made New Homes

Finding your dream home can be tough, it's easy to find a place with the right number of bedrooms or the right number of bathrooms or the right size backyard, etc. - but it's the finer details that could potentially trip you up when it comes to finding the perfect place for you and your family.

You may be looking for a home office, or a home theater, a finished basement or an in ground pool. Some or all of these may or may not be deal breakers - it's certainly possible that you could live, most likely even happily in a place that didn't meet every single one of your requirements, but you could conceivably live more happily in a house that met every single one of your desires.

New Home Builder

The best way to ensure that you get all of the options that you want present in your new home is to have custom made new home built. Having a custom made new home built could conceivably cost you a little bit more than settling for an already existing home - but in having your custom home built you can be certain that every little detail is exactly the way you want it.

The benefits of having a custom made new home go beyond just choosing what elements you want or need present in the house. With a brand new home, with fixtures that you choose, you can rest assured that everything will work exactly as it's supposed to as well.

You never really know exactly what you're going to get when you purchase and older home. Even if things appear totally fine cosmetically, there could be seriously problems just beneath the surface that could rear their ugly heads just after you take ownership. Previous owners may do whatever it takes to sell their home, which includes covering up a problem and making it look like everything was okay. Even if you go through a home that you were looking at with a fine tooth comb and get the approval of an inspector - there could still be things that don't get picked up and that could go wrong shortly after you get into the home, making your life a lot less pleasant than it should be after moving into your supposed dream home.

A custom made new home will also let you choose a location - if you have an area in mind that you would really like to live in, but you simply can't find a home anywhere in the neighborhood that meets your standards, that problem can very easily be solved by having a home built in the neighborhood in which you want to live. The best school systems and the nicest neighborhoods are no longer impossible to find homes in; all you have to do is have one built.

New Home Builders

The only concern you may have when having a custom made home built could be the cost. Even if the home you are having built is smaller than the average size of home in the neighborhood that you choose, the cost of materials, land, labor and permits may exceed what you would have paid for an already existing home in the neighborhood, but consider what you'll be getting for the money. The extra cost you'll incur will be giving you exactly what you want in your new home exactly the way that you want it. Everything in your new home will work exactly the way it's supposed to and exactly how you want it to - and that could very well be worth every extra penny that you spend in the process.

Green Home Building

Shea Homes Superiology - Green New Homes Building

SheaHomes.com has launched the new Superiology portal featuring copy and video content related to the "green" new homes building. Quick facts videos highlight the different products, methods and more that go into building quality new homes.

Energy Wiser New Homes

How would you like to lower your utility bills? Purchasing a brand-new Shea home is one of the quickest ways to accomplish that. That’s because we adhere to the most current energy-efficient construction standards, and our homes feature numerous items that help reduce your daily
energy costs and increase the long-term efficiency of your home. They include energy-saving heating and air-conditioning systems, Energy Star® appliances at most communities, insulated water heaters and dual-pane windows with low-E glass.

These carefully selected features will ensure that you are able to reap the benefits of living energy-efficiently. And the savings you will enjoy will also increase your buying power, enabling you to buy a larger, more luxurious home than you ever imagined.

Eco-Friendlier New Homes

Do you know what your carbon footprint is? It is the measure of the impact your everyday activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. Because of the materials it takes to build it and the energy it takes to light it and heat it, your home is one of the biggest
contributors to your carbon footprint.

At Shea Homes, we consider it our responsibility to look out for the environment while providing you with a home that is sensitive to our global ecology. That’s why we strive wherever possible to use wood products from sustainable forests, recycle construction materials and incorporate water-conserving appliances and fixtures into our homes. We are proud that our homes will not only help reduce your carbon footprint, but also benefit generations to come by helping reduce America’s carbon footprint.

Designed Smarter New Homes

The minute you step into a Shea home, you can tell that it just feels right, and you can see the attention to detail. That’s because our design process begins with you. We go to great lengths to understand your needs and preferences, and they are the basis of our floor plan design philosophy. They determine the function, flow and livability of our homes and inspire
the creation of specialty spaces that enhance your lifestyle. And with our Five-Sided Architecture(TM), your Shea home will look distinctly different from the ones next door and down the street. We also believe that home design extends beyond your front door, which is why we apply the same approach to community design. The result is a home and community that meet your needs and offer a place of comfort, inspiration and exceptional living.

Built Better New Homes

Building homes is the very core of our business, and that’s why we constantly strive to do it better than anyone else. Experience builds a better home. The Shea family of companies has been in the construction business for more than 125 years, so we know what it takes to build a
home that will last and provide you with many years of satisfaction. From well-designed and built foundations to durable fire-resistant roofs, our homes feature the latest components and the most advanced building methods available. Throughout the construction process, we and our
TradePartnersSM conduct multi-point quality reviews to ensure that every detail meets our exacting standards. As a result, you can be assured of enjoying the lasting value and peace of mind that come from owning a home of superior quality.

Happier New Homes

We don’t just promise customer satisfaction, we deliver it, and we have the awards to prove it. We have been nationally recognized by J.D. Power and Associates, which has consistently ranked Shea Homes highest in customer satisfaction with home builders.

Beginning with your first visit, our friendly Community Representatives are focused on getting to know you and providing you with a comfortable home-buying experience. Then the professionals at our sister company, Shea Mortgage, will make sure you receive the most favorable financing options, and our conscientious Field Managers will work with you in an
interactive construction process to ensure that your home is built to our quality standards and yours. In addition, the experienced interior designers at our Shea Design Studio will help you create the home you imagined. The entire home-buying process at Shea Homes is designed
with one thing in mind: your happiness.

Healthier New Homes

We know that today, your quest for a healthy lifestyle is more important than ever. We also know that it doesn’t stop with eating right and exercising. There are many things we come in contact with in our everyday lives that can have an adverse effect on our health. That’s why we strive to incorporate the highest standards of product performance and safety into our homes. For example, we use low-VOC paints, pollutant-free carpet adhesives and state-of-the-art air conditioning systems to help keep the air you breathe at home as free of harmful agents as possible. Your health is as important to us as it is to you, as demonstrated by the many fine price-included features that we offer.

Safer New Homes

Home is the place where you’re supposed to feel safer than anywhere else, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure that you do. Our concern for your well being begins with the safety criteria we use in the development and building of our homes, and it continues with an array of safety features built into our homes. They include smoke detectors to warn you of fire, tempered glass that is less likely to harm you if it breaks, GFI electrical outlets that are designed to protect you from electrical shock and sloped porches and garage floors that provide proper drainage and reduce the chances of personal injury. These and many other safety components add up to one essential feature: your peace of mind.
