Gehman Custom Builder

Providing answers to the million dollar question: should I build my dream house now to take advantage of record low mortgage rates and construction costs or, should I refinance and improve my current property so that I can make it into the showplace I’ve always wanted? Ideas to consider: • Is the building unique, historic, or otherwise worthy of restoration? • Is the location replaceable: the view, privacy, or schools? • Is your home ready to sell or do you need to update the features, the curb appeal? • How do I find a lot, an architect and builder I can trust? We work with architects, realtors, designers and master craftsman who specialize: • In locating one of a kind building sites; • In enhancing “curb appeal” by combining divergent styles with color, form and period correct detailing; • In energy efficient techniques, some that are very clever and inexpensive, others that are complex state of the art whole building systems; • In universal design, respectfully retrofitting vintage buildings by moving walls or carefully extending the footprint to create livable spaces for families with concerns about everything from accessibility to ergonomics; • In life cycle planning for homes and estates, chunking enhancements into distinct projects that can be accomplished in series not parallel; • And in creating one of a kind new structures. Specialties:• One of a kind new homes & whole house remodeling • Complex renovation & remodeling involving structural, electrical and mechanical design Design Philosophy We don’t subscribe to any one style but choose instead to embrace these principles that we feel constitute good design.
