Here are some of the most memorable milestones to look forward to during the custom home process.
1. Finalizing Your Dream Design
•The journey begins with designing your dream home. This is the stage where your ideas become a reality on paper, incorporating everything you’ve envisioned. Ascent’s experienced designers and architects work closely with you, ensuring the design reflects your lifestyle and preferences.
•“Our clients deserve a home that’s thoughtfully designed and crafted to last,” says Jon Sherer, Chief Operating Officer at Ascent Custom Homes. “We approach every design phase with that commitment in mind.”
2. Choosing Finishes and Materials
•Personalizing your finishes and materials is where you get to put your unique stamp on the home. From countertops to flooring, each choice adds to the character of your space. Whether you’re in Sandusky or elsewhere, Ascent’s experts are there to guide you, helping you choose materials that blend style with durability.
3. Breaking Ground on Your Lot
•Groundbreaking day is a true celebration! Watching that first scoop of dirt being turned signifies that your custom home is officially underway. It’s a moment worth capturing and sharing with friends and family.
4. Pouring the Foundation
•Seeing the foundation poured is an exciting milestone, as it’s the base on which your entire home will stand. You’ll see the footprint of your future home take shape on your land, bringing the design to life. “A solid foundation is crucial to the longevity of any home,” says Sherer. “At Ascent, we pride ourselves on precision and quality at every stage, starting from the ground up.”
5. Framing and Walking Through for the First Time
•When the framing goes up, your home starts to feel real. This is when you can walk through the skeleton of your future home, seeing where each room will be. It’s a powerful experience and a true highlight for most homeowners.
6. Installing Electrical and Plumbing
•With the “behind-the-walls” work like electrical and plumbing, you get a sense of all the functionality your home will offer. Our team works meticulously to ensure everything is set up safely and efficiently. In places like Amherst, Ascent Custom Homes ensures that even the unseen details are handled with care.
7. Drywall and Interior Walls
•Once the drywall goes up, your home starts looking like a finished space. The rooms take shape, and it’s exciting to envision your furniture and decor in each area.
8. Flooring and Cabinet Installation
•Seeing floors and cabinets installed is a major transformation point. This is when you get a sense of your home’s personality and warmth. “From flooring to cabinetry, our team makes sure every detail aligns with our clients’ vision,” shares Sherer. “This is where the house really begins to feel like a home.”
9. Painting, Trim, and Final Touches
•Adding color and trim completes the look, making the space feel polished and personal. This stage brings all the design choices together, giving you a glimpse of the finished product.
10. Landscaping and Exterior Finishes
•As the outdoor spaces take shape, your home starts to look welcoming from the curb. Landscaping and exterior details are the finishing touches that add charm and appeal, especially in scenic locations like Lagrange.
11. The Final Walkthrough
•The final walkthrough is the culmination of all the hard work. You’ll tour the completed home, making sure everything is exactly as planned. It’s a moment of pride for both you and the Ascent team.
12. Moving In – The Ultimate Milestone
•Finally, it’s time to move in! This is when your custom-built house becomes your home, filled with your belongings, memories, and future plans.
