Custom Home Design - Interior Finishing

Your resource for understanding the different stages of the custom home building process and finding a screened, local custom home builder.

After the exterior is completed it is time for your custom home builder to finish walls, paint, install doors and windows, hang cabinetry, put down flooring and install tile. You will be able to move into your new custom home soon, so at this time you should be very close to selling your existing home. Once the drywall has been put into place it is time for the fun task of selecting all the design elements that are going into your house. This includes:

• Painting and Wallpaper
• Windows and Doorways
• Flooring
• Cabinets
• Counter Tops
• Appliances
• Trims
• Baths, showers, sinks, and toilets

Many of these take 6 weeks up to 3 months to order, so be sure to meet with your custom home builder early in the process on designing your interior. Usually, the installation of these home design pieces is a breeze and many of the interior fundamentals you've been waiting on for months and months merely take a day or two to install.
