Your Home
Location and Site
At Dovetail Custom Homes, we have a passion for local communities. We live in the area, and believe you should be able to enjoy your dream home along with your community’s amenities and small-town feel. Dovetail homes are designed to blend into traditional neighborhoods, but offer the space and convenience of today’s floor plans.
We can build a new home on your current lot, help you find property or anything in between. Unlike some custom home builders, we oversee site preparation and planning. At Dovetail, we work with you every step of the way.
Select a plan
Your home should fit your life. We’ll help you find floor plans, work with you to design your dream home or talk with your architect or designer. We’re passionate about building homes that fit our clients’ lives, so we’ll never ask you to squeeze your family into a cookie-cutter floor plan. Because every client and every lot has specific needs, the best homes are always the result of creating a unique design.
Customize
From the number of bedrooms to the finishes you choose, your Dovetail home reflects you and your family. When you build a new home, you owe it to yourself to find the right design for your needs and budget.
Build
Building a Dovetail Custom Home takes 90 to 120 days from site preparation to move in. The average site-built home of similar quality can take 12 to 18 months to complete. We pride ourselves on delivering higher quality homes than most site-built competitors in a fraction of the time it takes them.
Our homes are assembled by skilled workers, most with vocational degrees and years of homebuilding experience. Many homes built by traditional means use subcontractors who have little formal training and can be delayed by weather, illness or other distractions. Your Dovetail home is built in a climate-controlled environment by skilled workers who show up — all day, every day.
Each element of your Dovetail home is inspected several times at the modular construction facility to make sure it meets building codes and our high standards for quality. To prepare it for transportation and placement at your site, each Dovetail home is built more solidly than today’s traditional, site-built homes. Your Dovetail home is built to old-fashioned, exacting standards of quality, using today’s efficient building techniques.
Move in
Once you start planning your Dovetail Custom Home, it’s time to think about moving in. We’ll keep you updated at every step in the process so you and your neighbors know what to expect and when. It’s just another way Dovetail keeps track of the details.
After you move in, we’ll visit at 30 days and again after you’ve lived in your home 11 months. Because all homes change slightly as they settle into the site, we’ll walk through with you and note any issues needing attention.
Manufacturing Process
Would you have your new car built in the driveway?
For nearly a decade, the homebuilding industry’s premier professional organization, the National Association of Home Builders, has praised the technology that allows your home to be built indoors, protected from the elements.
Inspection takes place at the factory, with each section approved as it is built. We put it all together on-site and complete any finish work necessary.
