Building a custom home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. It’s a dream filled with Pinterest boards, open floor plans, and the excitement of choosing every last detail. But for many in Central Virginia, that dream can quickly turn stressful when the reality of “construction allowances” sets in.

If you are looking for a Custom Home builder in Lynchburg, Va, or surrounding areas, you’ve likely heard the horror stories: a project starts with one budget, but after picking out cabinets, flooring, and fixtures, the final price skyrockets.

At Craftsman Custom Home Builders, we believe there is a better way. We believe you should know the exact cost of your new home before we ever break ground. 

The Problem with “Allowances”
Most custom builders provide an estimate based on “allowances”—a pot of money set aside for things like flooring or lighting. The problem? If that allowance is $\$5,000$ for flooring, but the hardwood you love costs $\$8,000$, you are paying the difference out of pocket. You haven’t shopped for your amenities yet, and neither has your builder, so the price is just a guess. 

The Craftsman Difference: Know Your Price Upfront
We take a different approach. As a premier custom home builder in Central Virginia, we have an extensive Selection Center right here in our Lynchburg office. 

Instead of guessing, you walk through our showroom and select everything for your new home in one place. From the siding on the outside to the faucets on the inside, you make your choices before you sign the contract. This allows us to give you a guaranteed price. No guesswork. No surprise bills. Just the peace of mind that comes from knowing your budget is safe.

A Truly Custom Designed Home
Some people hear “showroom” and think “limited options,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We are a volume custom builder, which means we buy structural elements in bulk to pass the savings on to you, but your home is still uniquely yours.
Whether you bring us your own plans or modify one of ours, we help you create a custom designed home that fits your lifestyle perfectly. Our team offers design and drafting assistance completely free of charge to ensure your vision comes to life. 

Full-Service from Start to Finish
Building in the Blue Ridge foothills or the suburbs of Lynchburg comes with its own set of logistical challenges. We handle it all. As a true full-service builder, we provide the following at no extra cost:

  • On-site evaluation to determine development costs (soil work, surveying, etc.).
  • Permit handling, including Zoning, Building, Land Disturbance, and Well/Septic.
