Custom Home Costs for Construction by Eagle River Contractor
April 17, 2013
What does it cost per square foot to build a custom home? I am asked this question all the time. The quick answer is, “it depends”. It depends on many things. Over the years, we have built an incredible variety of homes in the Phelps and Eagle River WI area. Many times we reflect on the fact that no two homes are alike, which is challenging and also very rewarding at the same time. The cost of your Eagle River new home or remodeling project totally depends on the level of detail, building materials, windows and doors, and the level of overall quality. All of this determines if the home you desire fits within your desired budget. Whether it be a fully customized home or an economical home, the cost is totally driven by the details.
Flooring & Roofing Decisions for your Eagle River Home
As an example, a homeowner may choose to install carpet in their living areas or they may choose fully hand scraped hickory floors. Some may decide to use basic 30 year shingles and others may decide to use the most beautiful singles that are guaranteed for life. These two choices can literally make a swing of $20 – $35 dollars in the square foot cost of your home. By two simple decisions, the owner potentially raised or lowered the cost of their home by a substantial amount. Now imagine doing this with the dozens of other possible decisions within the home.
