For this reason, John James not only welcomes customers to be involved in every step of the home building process, we encourage it. We want to hear what our customers have to say.

John James Custom Homes, Inc. guides its customers each step of the way, including: selection of lot, selecting a floor plan that fits your lifestyle or designing the home of your dreams, building your home from the ground up and fulfilling any needed warranty work.

Most of the homes that we build take 6-12 months to complete - dependant upon size and complexity, which starts the day that we obtain the building permit and ends the day that we are issued Certificate Of Occupancy. Some larger projects that are very complex can take 18 months or more to complete. For all of the custom homes that we build, we are dependent on our homeowners for their timely selections, so that we can remain on schedule for completion.To assist you in keeping us on schedule, we have the option of creating a project schedule for every home we build which gives us the start date, finish date and everything in between.
