Distinctive Dwellings Testimonials

"Distinctive Dwellings is your indispensable advocate during the construction of your home."

"Lori Smith of Distinctive Dwellings is an indispensable advocate for the homeowner during and before construction of a new home. She has the experience to obtain detailed and accurate plans and costs so the design, bidding, and construction processes are well-defined, open, and fair.

She insists that construction reflects the intended design for the proposed price, without cutting corners, numerous upcharges, and other pitfalls homeowners often fall prey to. Lori's involvement in a project pays for itself in clarity, design, efficiency, quality, resources, and - most of all - avoiding a potential legal and financial disaster. Our only regret is that we did not involve Lori Smith and Distinctive Dwellings earlier in our project."

"Your first step when you've decided to build a custom home? Call Distinctive Dwellings."

When we first mentioned to our Realtor that we'd begun to consider building, she asked, "Why do you want to build a custom home?" It's a question worth contemplating.

The investment of time and money required to build a custom home isn't worthwhile unless you design something a little different – something that serves your family's unique needs and wants. At the same time, the hundreds of decisions required feel intimidating.

If you desire a custom home that is genuinely functional, tailored to your unique needs, yet not too far from the mainstream to have market appeal, take no other step before calling Distinctive Dwellings. Their Construction Bid Package Service alone saved us nearly $100,000 on our construction and contract price, and their Custom Floor Plan Service alleviated all that decision-making anxiety.
