The best way to get exactly what you want in your new home is to build it from scratch. We can help you do just that. Building custom homes that stand the test of time is what we do best. Designing and building your dream home that will house generations of memories is an exhilarating experience. There is a lot of decision making that goes into creating a custom home. Don't worry, we won't let you get overwhelmed. When it comes to building your custom home, we aim for a stress-free process for our clients.

Our design-build process is ideal for our customers who are already working with a residential architect. We incorporate you, your architect, and us into one team. Your team. We work together from start to finish. From the design drafting to scope of materials, time and budget. For many customers, this is an easy way to streamline their construction process. Compared to the traditional bid-proposal process that can take significantly longer. The traditional process of getting a renovation or home built involves first hiring a residential architect to draft up a design for your project.

Windhill Builders brings common sense green and sustainable building practices to our projects, while maintaining an emphasis on value, quality materials, and superior craftsmanship. We promote a "whole building" approach to sustainability including sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design. Green homes have much higher energy performance levels than homes built to the standard building codes, reducing energy consumption and costs.
