OUR PROCESS

BUILDING YOUR DREAM…TOGETHER

The Port City Homes team is ready to support to you through all phases of building your new home. We understand that this may be the first ever home you’ve built, your dream home for a growing family, or the perfect home for retiring…

Whatever your vision, we can help with the following key items:

• Understanding your local Real Estate market
• Picking a home & a neighborhood
• Finding a home loan
• Becoming comfortable with the design / build process
• and others…

Step 1 “Welcome to the Neighborhood”

Port City Homes meets with you so that we can listen to what you are passionate about in a home, and the area that you would like to live. From your description, we identify the neighborhoods and home models that most closely match your requirements.

We encourage you to visit neighborhoods at various times of day, and observe the activity – asking questions like:

• Does this neighborhood offer the amenities our family needs, such as pool, tennis, golf?
• What schools do children in this neighborhood attend?
• Are area amenities that are important to us close by, such as grocery stores, churches, recreation?

Step 2 “The details make the difference”

(Frank Betz logo) After you have narrowed down the neighborhoods of interest, it’s time to refine your thinking about what’s going to be in your new home. We offer a library of home plans that can be customized to fit the way your family lives. Or, bring us your plan and let us help bring your vision to reality!  Our team will facilitate the architectural process, permitting approvals and coordinate with neighborhood ARB’s.

After you have decided on a home that works best for your family, Port City Homes begins the design / build process. We start with detailing your home’s structural details, orientation on the lot, and mechanical systems.  Our talented team will guide you through the interior selection process, and you will meet with some of the area’s best designers and trade partners.  This allows you to put your personal stamp on your home, from custom cabinets and flooring, to trim details and fixtures.  Typical builds time is 6 to 12 months, and will vary depending on the specific items that you want in your home.  We will be there during every phase of construction as we team with you to bring your home to life.

Step 3 “Time to settle in”

(2-10 Logo) Our goal is for your new home to exceed your expectations, and we want you to be completely satisfied. Once you take ownership, we start our warranty period; this warranty is to insure that you are satisfied with your home for many, many years to come. Our warranties are through 2-10.com. 2-10 has been offering home warranties for over 30 years, and is one of the best in the industry, complying with applicable regulations and requirements to insure your peace of mind. We also offer several service options should you desire that we help you maintain your home

Our goal is to complete each and every home with a level of detail in construction, attention to our customers’ needs and follow-up after closing and so that our customers are 100% satisfied!  Our customers’ satisfaction matters to us because Our Reputation is Building.
