While increasing in popularity, modern farmhouses do fall on the more expensive side of custom homes. 

Why? 

With a distinct appearance and unique interior features, modern farmhouse design does step a bit outside of standard conventions in custom homes. In other words, the defining elements of this custom home style require a future homeowner to make more of an investment for them.  

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if after deciding to build a custom home, you immediately found the perfect contractor?

Unfortunately, it seems as though “accessible home” has become a buzzword in the home building community with many misconceptions surrounding the true meaning of universal design and home accessibility.

Dear Future Homeowner,

The first thing on everyone’s mind when thinking about building a new home is obvious: how much will it cost?

Panel built homes represent a happy medium of the three most common home construction methods. 

A hybrid of sorts, panelized construction combines the customizability of stick building with the efficiency and speed of modular building.

Before making a major investment, it’s not uncommon for prospective new homeowners to take a deep dive into the building methods for constructing their new home. Quite frankly, it’d be irresponsible not to. 

As a panelized home company that’s helped plenty of new homeowners realize their dream home, we’ve compiled a list of the pros and cons of panel built homes as we’ve heard it from past clients. 

We’ve worked with many customers to design and build their dream home -- one that meets all their needs while staying within budget.

But in our countless discussions with future homeowners, the most common question we get is: “This sounds great, but how do I pay for it?” 

A natural question, indeed. Building a custom home is typically a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Financing the construction is the other half of making it a reality.

There are plenty of ways to build your dream home. 

One of the most common questions I get from future homeowners is: “Can I have x foundation type for my Barden home?” 

The base of any good home is a solid foundation. 

After my recent conversation with a former WNY modular home builder, I met with two different customers who each had very different circumstances.
