Whether you're building a custom home or renovating an existing property, we'll take care of you. Quality - Attention to Detail - Honesty - Customer Service

Ever wondered how much thought goes into the details of a custom home?

This quick clip gives you a glimpse behind the scenes, as Adam sketches the ceiling design for a client.

It's a small detail—but that's exactly the point.

Custom home design is made up of hundreds of these decisions, all working together to create a home that looks beautiful, feels right and functions for the people who live there.

Watch Adam work through the design process. 👇

We’ve designed and built homes, additions, and renovations for clients for ten years, so we know how the process works.

We know that materials get delayed, walls look worse before they look better, punch lists go down and up, and there will always be something to troubleshoot.

We tell our clients these things all the time.

But this time, we were the clients!

Here are some of the biggest lessons we learned while doing our own home addition.

Nobody hires a custom homebuilder because they want an ordinary home.

Frequently, the magic is in the details. Before you hire a custom homebuilder, get to know them by asking these questions:

1. Can you explain your design-build process?
2. How do you figure out what a client actually wants?
3. Can you show me homes where you've solved a specific design problem?
4. How much freedom will I have to change the design?
5. How do you approach the details?
6. Who will be my main point of contact?
7. How do you handle a problem when something doesn't go according to plan?
8. Who actually builds the home?
9. What happens after the house is finished?
10. What kind of client do you work best with?

At the end, you should walk away with a sense of whether you can trust these people with your home.

One of the biggest challenges with marketing a vacant lot is that you're selling something the buyer can't see yet.

That's where a Realtor + Builder partnership can change the conversation.

John Merrill Homes works with Realtors to create house/lot packages designed to help buyers understand the opportunity—and help Realtors sell the listing.

If you're a Realtor with a challenging lot listing, we'd love to explore what's possible.

FAQ: “How long does it take to build a custom home?”

So what actually happens during those 11–18 months?

We've broken down the entire custom home building process, from the first consultation through design, permitting, construction, and finally getting the keys.

Should you build a custom home in 2027?

Before you start worrying about interest rates, home prices, or whether the market will look different next year, there’s another question worth asking:

Is this the right time for your family?

In our latest blog, we explore why next year could be an interesting time to build, what a steadier market means for custom homebuyers, and why the best place to start may be with how you want to live.
