6. How long does it take the Michael’s Homes team to build a custom home?

Building a custom home is a process, and at Michael’s Homes, we have streamlined this process with the latest technology to ensure the highest quality customer service throughout. The process begins with selecting the right place to build your home, which can take anywhere from 60 to 90 days.

Once we know where we’re building, we walk through the selections process and create the necessary blueprints before the building process begins. Once we start building, the timeframe is typically eight to nine months, barring any unforeseen circumstances. If something does delay the building process, our team will make sure to communicate this to you to ensure your expectations are always kept at top of mind.
