FAQ's

What if I don’t currently own land?

Don’t worry, we can still help. Working in conjunction with local realtors and private land owners, we’ll help you find the perfect lot in the area you want to live.

Do I have to buy the land first?

Typically, your land purchase can be rolled into the construction loan financing. We will work with you and your lender to help with this process.

Where do I go to finance my new home?

We can get you in contact with one of our preferred lenders or you can use a lender of your choice, as long as they can provide construction loan financing.

I saw on your website that you have a lot of floor plans. Does that mean you won’t build from my plans?

Our in-house drafting/design team allows us to customize any of our house plans to make it uniquely yours; however, we are happy to build your home based on your plans as well.

The advertisements say Sedgewick Homes will build a house on my land board by board. Is there an advantage to that over modular construction?

There are several advantages to site built homes over modular construction. With Sedgewick you get to watch the entire process and see the quality of your home as it’s being built board by board on your land. Site built homes are typically easier to finance. Modular homes are generally harder to resell and often do not have the same value as a site built home. At Sedgewick Homes we can have your house completed as quickly from the point of sale as a modular home builder and most likely for less money.

Do I have any choices on the finishes and fixtures for my new home? Do I have to travel around to make my selections?

At Sedgewick Homes we understand that choices are as important as your time. Our onsite design studios allow you to choose from hundreds of features without driving anywhere else. You will also have the opportunity to work with one of our Design Coordinators who can assist you with making design decisions that will look great together in your new home.

I have heard it can be difficult to get builders to return for service work once they’ve completed the home. What makes Sedgewick Homes different?

We recognize that happy customers will lead to future sales, therefore it’s in our best interest to make sure that you are delighted; not just during the construction process, but throughout the warranty period as well. Simply stated: We want your referrals. The employees at Sedgewick Homes have a long history of delighting customers and we would be happy to put you in touch with referrals if you would like.

What is included in the base price of a home?

Included in the base price of any home is everything from footers to finish. Land improvements and the cost of land are not included in the base price of a home.

What are allowances and why are they important?

Allowances are the items that fall under the land improvement category such as installing a septic tank and installing a well. Land clearing and grading if needed would be listed as an allowance as well. Allowances can vary greatly from one site to another. Our sales team can help you estimate a range of how much the allowances will be to help you when you're determining a budget for your home.
