Our products

Discovery

When you work with Creative Homes on your next construction project, it's natural to expect that we'll be spending a lot of time together in the days ahead. Our first meeting, however, will always be our most important one. Here, our goal is to get to know you, and discuss what you want and need in your new home:

What are your dreams?
Where do you want to build it?
What sort of budget do you have in mind?
When do you want to move in?

We'll then conduct an inspection of your proposed home site, or give you a referral to a realtor in the Canyon Lake, TX area to help you find the perfect location for your new home!

Design

This is where the fun begins. The home design process is so much easier than you may expect. Creative Homes has worked diligently over the last 30 years to make this step in the custom home construction process stress-free and enjoyable.

We can work with your ideas and designer of your choosing, or schedule an appointment with our experienced interior designer, Jim Cox Designs. Jim and his staff will listen to your desires, and submit a design that tastefully reflects your lifestyle, personal tastes, and budgetary requirements. Creative Homes will develop and deliver the home you've been dreaming of. It's as simple as that!

Site selection and orientation

In custom home construction, the right building site is absolutely essential to the successful design and orientation of the finished project. Creative Homes will be by your side every step of the way to ensure that you take full advantage of each feature of your unique site, including:

View
Trees
Light
Shade
Slope
Drainage

A beautifully-designed custom home being built on the perfect site is an exciting process to witness, and one of many qualities that makes Creative Homes an asset to our profession, and our community. Call today for a FREE estimate or design consultation in Canyon Lake, TX.

Financing

Here is where you should apply for a home construction loan, if you haven't done so already. Securing financing will go a long way towards helping you get preliminary approval for the amount you'll need to borrow for your custom home and site.

Creative Homes can recommend several local mortgage companies and banks to help you get the financing you need, including:

All offer full lines of mortgage and home financing options from:

VA
FHA
Texas Veterans Housing Assistance (Texas Vet)
Green Building Program

Call or visit the above websites, or stop by in person, and they can supply you with a pre-qualification work sheet to start the financing process for conventional and jumbo loan programs, and can help with interim home construction financing. With interest rates at the lowest in years, now is the time to build the home of your dreams, with the help of Creative Homes!

Pricing and groundbreaking

Once your home site has been selected, and your financing for home construction has been pre-approved, your next step is final pricing, which is much easier to accomplish than you might imagine with Creative Homes.

To determine final pricing, Creative Homes will start by developing your specifications and pricing allowances for your home based upon your preferences and design plans for the customizable aspects of your home, such as:

Tile
Carpeting
Masonry
Countertops
Light and plumbing fixtures
Appliances
Window treatments, etc.

Once you and Creative Homes arrive at a clear understanding of what your custom home will look like, where it will be located, what amenities it will have and how much it will cost, we're ready to move forward. Together, we will sign the construction agreement and get started doing what we do best: build your home! We look forward to sharing the experience and the fun with you as you watch your beautiful new home take shape before your very eyes.
