Custom Homes
Your Vision, Our Expertise
Building a custom home is a significant journey. At Choice Carpentry, we use a proven, collaborative framework to transform your vision into a structural masterpiece, ensuring the process is as rewarding as the final result.
From Groundbreak to Move-In
Consultation & Site Evaluation: We begin by analyzing your homesite—considering topography, orientation, and soil—alongside your vision, budget, and lifestyle requirements.
Architecture & Design: Working with architects and designers, we develop comprehensive blueprints, floor plans, and material specifications. We provide a transparent, detailed estimate and manage all necessary zoning and building permits.
Material Curation & Logistics: From the foundation to the roof shingles, we help you source every component. We manage the complex procurement of windows, exterior finishes, and interior selections, ensuring everything is on-site exactly when the build demands it.
Foundation & Framing: The "bones" of your home take shape. We manage excavation, pour the foundation, and execute precision framing to establish the structural integrity and silhouette of your new home.
Systems Integration (Rough-ins): While the walls are open, licensed trades install the "invisible" essentials: plumbing stacks, electrical grids, HVAC ductwork, and smart-home wiring, all strictly to modern building codes.
Exterior & Interior Envelope: We seal the home against the elements with roofing, siding, and windows. Inside, we move from insulation and drywall to the installation of custom millwork, cabinetry, and flooring.
Master Craftsmanship & Finishes: This is where our carpentry heritage shines. We install intricate trim, final fixtures, and premium finishes. Every surface is prepped, painted, and polished to a gallery-standard finish.
Final Inspection & Handover: After rigorous quality checks and municipal inspections, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough. We provide you with a "Homeowner’s Manual" containing maintenance schedules and full warranty documentation
Whether you are dreaming of a modern minimalist estate, a timeless family heirloom, or a highly efficient smart home, we tailor every stud and stone to your priorities. At Choice Carpentry, we combine high-end craftsmanship with unwavering communication to build the home you’ve always imagined.
ADU’s & Additions
Versatile Solutions for Growing Needs
Whether you’re adding a detached guest house (ADU) or expanding your current floor plan, Choice Carpentry uses a streamlined, professional process to integrate new construction seamlessly with your existing property.
The Development Process
Feasibility & Site Assessment: We evaluate your property’s layout, setbacks, and utility access. We discuss your goals—whether for rental income, a home office, or extra living space—and align them with your budget and local zoning laws.
Design & Engineering: Our team develops architectural plans that complement your home’s existing aesthetic. We manage the specialized permitting required for additions and ADUs, ensuring all structural and zoning requirements are met.
Utility & Infrastructure Planning: We determine the best way to extend or upgrade your plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems to support the new square footage, ensuring the new build functions independently or in perfect sync with the main house.
Site Prep & Foundation: We handle the heavy lifting of excavation and foundation pouring. For additions, we focus on a precise "tie-in" to your existing structure to ensure long-term stability and weatherproofing.
Framing & Building Envelope: We construct the shell of the new space, including roofing, siding, and windows. Our goal is to make the transition between the "old" and "new" look completely intentional and seamless.
Mechanical & Electrical Rough-ins: Licensed trades install all necessary systems. For ADUs, this often includes independent metering or specialized plumbing for kitchens and bathrooms.
Interior Fit-Out & Finishes: We move inside to install insulation, drywall, and custom carpentry. From flooring and cabinetry to trim work, we apply the high-end craftsmanship Choice Carpentry is known for.
Final Inspection & Handover: We conduct a thorough walkthrough and ensure all municipal inspections are signed off. You’ll receive a complete set of care instructions and warranty information for your new space.
From backyard cottages (ADUs) to multi-story additions and bump-outs, we tailor our build to your specific needs. We focus on maximizing your property’s value and functionality while maintaining the architectural integrity of your home.
