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.

It’s something you’ve always dreamed about: building your own custom home. You’ve had this dream so long that you know exactly what you want down to the smallest detail. You even have the perfect property picked out. 

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

There’s no one way to build a custom home. But the simple reality is that all homes take time to construct. 

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. 

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. 

With a new year upon us, there’s a year’s worth of potential opportunities for custom home builders to help clients realize their dream homes.

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.

The custom home building process is indeed a process. 

A completed custom home represents many months of work with plenty of milestones, from working with a client to design a home that meets all their expectations to completing finishing work.
