Our Building Process

Our Design Studio
Plan selection and custom home design. When building a new home, remodeling or renovating, there are 1,000 choices to make. The easiest choice you can make is hiring Mike Neace at American Family Homes. The design center is where you will meet, discuss your floor plan, architectural style and make choices for your flooring, cabinets, surfaces, appliances, paint colors and even financing if necessary.

Our home design book is filled with hundreds of home plans. You can choose a stock plan, modify a stock plan, take ideas from different plans and create something unique. Or, we can create a completely custom plan from your vision - that's the "design-build" process. Most custom home buyers research the web and find inspiration that satisfy their tastes and wish lists.

Site Selection & Evaluation
What if you already own a site for your new home? No problem – let us know upfront so we can help you evaluate optimal locations, orientation and floor plan configurations within that site for your new custom home.

In some cases we find that a home site plays a part in your home design and footprint.

Lender & Title Assistance
One of the most stressful parts of building a new home can be dealing with lending and title institutions. At American Family Homes, our experience working with these institutions help keep the process pleasant and productive.

We work with mortgage lenders and title companies on a daily basis. We can guide you through the process, let you know what to expect and help monitor your situation. If you are not already working with a mortgage or title agency, we would be more than happy to recommend one of our preferred industry partners.

Construction
At American Family Homes, we use only the highest quality materials and workmanship to build your custom home. The exterior walls of each home we build are constructed with concrete block, as are the exterior columns and headers. For both exterior and interior paint systems, we rely on the Sherwin Williams and the Sherwin Williams’ Loxon system. This system provides a high performance finish, while keeping maintenance to a minimum.

Every custom home we design and build includes an expert evaluation from a Florida State Certified Energy Rater. They recommend areas that need improvement and help us maximize the high-performance energy efficiency of each home. Energy-efficient features of every home built by American Family Homes include...

Project Walks & Communication
With every home we build, we want to ensure you’re completely satisfied. This is the basis of having a minimum of three formal project walks.

After your home is complete, we perform a Home Owner Orientation with you. During this walk-through we demonstrate how to operate your home. A final punch list is created and completed within 3 days... then you are free to move in.

After 30-days of living in your new home we schedule a final walk-through. Any concerns you may have will be addressed immediately.

Remodeling
We believe the best way to continue to enjoy the home you already love is to remodel it and / or add living space to it.

You know. It's time to renew. Just some of the reasons you need to renew your home: It's time to sell. Time to retire. You want to make things more personalized for the way you live. Your home just feels stale - it's time to refresh, revitalize, rejuvenate your life. You want to be wiser with energy and friendlier to the planet. You once thought you wanted to build a new home but love where you live too much. Or, perhaps you've fallen in love with THAT home in THAT area and you would prefer to restore an existing home.

We get it. We're all about it. That's why we offer our customers a choice. New or Renew.

Home Additions
Home additions are another way to maximize your lifestyle or hobby. American Family Homes can help add more space, more fun and more of everything you enjoy around the house.

If you're expanding your home or adding a structure next to your home, it is important to design and construct your addition to the exact specifications as your existing home. You want your addition to look natural, like it was part of the original design. American Family Homes has what it takes to make your addition look original.
