New home construction typically takes 8-9 months from the time we break ground on your home until completion, with one to two months for the design phase. The time varies depending on the size of the house, and weather conditions. Our priority at G&G Custom Homes is to complete your home to our standards before closing — to ensure that you and your family can enjoy your home from the first day you move in.

We have some mortgage lenders and banks we have dealt with in the past that will work with you or bring your own. A good mortgage lender will answer all your questions regarding the borrowing process. Don’t rely on a low interest rate to determine a lender. Compare closing costs and other fees, and ask how the lender will be compensated.
