Choose Your Floor Plan

Your floor plan is one of the most crucial decisions you will make when building a custom home, and Fairview Custom Homes has architects who can assist you in creating the perfect layout. Your floor plan will serve as the foundation of your dream home and should reflect your desired lifestyle.

However, there are other factors to consider besides aesthetics when choosing your floor plan. Questions such as whether the kitchen should open up into the living room or have its own dedicated space, how many bedrooms you need, and the ideal location for bathrooms are all essential considerations when selecting the optimal floor plan for you.

Fairview Custom Homes has the expertise and resources to help you choose the best floor plan for your lifestyle and needs. With their architects' assistance, you can rest assured that your custom home's layout will be functional, beautiful, and perfectly tailored to your preferences. Fairview Custom Homes can help you create the perfect floor plan to bring your vision to life.

Select Your Exterior Features

The exterior of your home sets the tone for how people view it from outside and also gives them an idea of what they can expect inside.

Roof shingles are popular but metal roofs are gaining traction due to their durability and energy efficiency properties. Choose materials like shutters, windows, doors, decks, and porches carefully as they enhance the appearance of your new home.
