From design and planning to building and warranty service, your Winstar Builders team will manage everything for you from start to finish.

Custom homes are brand new homes that are designed and built to a homeowner’s unique specifications without any customization limits.

Spec homes or Move-In Ready Homes are homes built without a specific owner in mind. Their style and product options will be a blend of what the builder believes the market will want. Some builders claim to build custom homes but you will often find you may only be able to choose from a limited number of house plans, floor plans, plan variations, products, and colors, but otherwise will be limited in your ability to customize.

The resulting home can be great—but without being tailored to your wishes and needs, clients often find themselves “wishing” for more. In many cases the house will be built to code but without additional thought to comfort, view, or quality. Why are the outlets over here? These lights are not in the right place. The living room windows are not large enough to take advantage of the view. There is no way my washer and dryer will fit in this space.

A Winstar Builders Custom Home is explicitly tailored to you. The process will take you through every decision, from what level of insulation you want at or above code to where your outlets are placed to the proper angles and spacing for your dream kitchen to be optimally functional. Every nuance is designed to fit your specific lifestyle.

If you’ve already purchased your own lot or land, Winstar Builders makes building an exciting and enjoyable experience. Contrary to what many believe, building a custom home can be really easy when working with an experienced builder. We manage the entire construction project from start to finish and warranty our work for years to come so you can concentrate on what matters, customizing your home to perfection.

If you haven't found the right land yet, we can introduce you to experienced, reputable, and local Realtors with a proven track record of helping clients find the perfect property for their truly unique Winstar Builders Custom Home.

Unlike other builders that might expect you to prepare your homesite and have it build ready before they start – we will do all of that for you.

Every property is unique and as part of your homesite visit and quote, we will estimate the costs involved to prepare your site to be ready to build your new custom home. During your homesite visit, your construction manager will help you determine your home's placement, what site work might be necessary before construction can start, and address any questions or concerns you might have before building starts to ensure the process is as enjoyable and care-free as possible.

As an On Your Lot Builder, we will build your custom home on the land of your choice in Delaware: New Castle, Kent, or Sussex and Maryland: Caroline, Wicomico, Kent, Dorchester, Talbot, Worcester, or Queen Anne’s. From a new family farm to an ideal community or on the ocean or bay, the location is up to you!

That’s the best part of working with a truly custom home builder like Winstar Builders – you can choose, create, or bring any house plan and make as many changes as you want. Want to add another guest bedroom, have higher ceilings, add square footage, or erase a wall, no problem! There is no limit to the house plan, floor plan, or amount of changes or customizations you would like to make.

After designing your custom home with your Homebuilding Consultant and your Construction Manager visits your homesite, we will provide you with a free, transparent, and no-obligation itemized quote. There's nothing like seeing your vision come to life, plus the comfort of finally knowing exactly what your custom home will cost to build.

We provide perhaps the most comprehensive list of features that are included in the base price of every new Winstar Builders Custom Home. With so many exterior and interior included features and selections to choose from, personalize your new home and make it truly unique without any additional cost. We also offer an extensive selection of upgrades and can accommodate any request.

A semi-custom homebuilding company offers a variety of house plans with some customization options like making minor floor plan changes if desired. Finish selections like cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, lightning, ect. are also limited to what is in their specific showroom or design center. For most, upgrades and changes slow down a project, so semi-custom homebuilding companies make some upgrades and changes cost-prohibitive.

A custom home is designed and built for you. The design can be completely unique and every inch of the home is built to your needs and desires. Collaboration between yourself, your custom builder, architect, and interior designer results in a truly one-of-a-kind home. Finish selection options are not limited, although your builder should always guide you toward materials that stay within your desired budget.

As your land is as unique as every Winstar Builders Custom Home, the process of building your dream home depends on the location and size of the build. The Planning and Design process may take one to three months, depending on customization and site work. Once your homesite is ready to build on, construction of your new custom home typically will take four to seven months to complete. Usually, homeowners will be ready to move into their new custom home within six months once construction begins. With expertise and years of experience, we pride ourselves on being on time, on or under budget, and meeting the highest quality standards - yours.
