Every custom home tells a story — one of dreams, aspirations, and personalized touches that transform a house into a haven. As we close the chapter on 2024, it’s time to set our sights on what lies ahead in custom home design for 2025.

Predicting custom home trends isn’t just about identifying patterns; it’s about understanding what homeowners truly value. From timeless ranches to innovative multi-purpose spaces, we’re excited to share what’s in store for 2025 and how these trends can shape your future home.

When we say Barden homes are 100% customizable, we really mean it – they are indeed completely customizable from top to bottom. 

Imagine the blueprints for the room you’re sitting in right now. 

There’s the layout. Dimensions. Materials. Utilities. Door and window placements. 

Even in just one room, the details of the space can get pretty overwhelming quickly. 

Now imagine what the blueprints for the rest of the building you’re in look like. 

Suffice it to say, when designing a custom home, there are a lot of custom home details to go over and think about. And with any major project, there are always some details that don’t always get the attention they deserve. 

For those looking to go the prefab route to build a custom home in Western New York, there are two routes: modular home building or panelized construction. 

You've got the ideal plot of land -- it's spacious with a great view. You’ve worked with your Barden Independent Dealer and internal design team to create a floor plan tailored to your needs.

In most cases, those who become one of our independent dealers already have an established home building company.

Such is the case with Severyn Development. A Lancaster, N.Y.-based construction firm, Severyn had long been doing business in Western New York before becoming one of our Barden Independent Dealers. 

As in past years, 2023 was a busy year for the entire Barden Building Products family. 

Throughout this past year, we and our Barden Independent Dealers helped plenty of customers build a wide variety of homes that ticked all their wants and needs boxes. With our catalog of hundreds of fully customizable floor plans to choose from, it’s almost impossible to see the exact same home constructed twice.

Ask any client who has committed to building a custom home when they'd like their project to be completed, and there's a good chance they'll say, "Yesterday."

There are some styles of home that withstand the test of time.
