When you are ready to build your new home, Paul Gray Homes is here to walk you through every step of the home building process. From the first meeting, to closing day, we want to build your dream home and make your new home vision a reality. Our building process can help take a few of the questions out of the building process by helping your know what you can expect during new home construction.
1. Meet With Paul Gray Homes
At your first meeting it is important to have a target price range or budget for your new home, along with the location or area of town where you would like to build.
