Custom Home Builder in Keizer, Oregon

Custom home costs in Keizer depend on many factors. The size of your home, types of materials you choose, complexity of the design, and special features all affect the final price. Rather than quoting a standard price that might be misleading, we provide a detailed estimate based on your specific home plan. Building in different parts of Keizer can also affect costs – some areas have different requirements from the Keizer Community Development Department. We’re always clear about costs and help you understand what you’re paying for.

We manage the entire permitting process for you, from initial applications to final inspections. Our experience with Keizer’s building department means we know what documentation is required, typical approval timelines, and common questions that arise. We prepare and submit all necessary plans and forms, track the progress of your permits, and respond promptly to any questions from city officials. This saves you time and frustration while ensuring everything is properly approved. If any special permits are needed (like for properties near waterways or in specific zones), we handle those as well.

Absolutely. We build many homes in Keizer with accessibility in mind. These can include features like zero-step entries, wider doorways and hallways, accessible bathrooms with roll-in showers, kitchens with varied counter heights, and easy-to-reach switches and controls. We can design these features to look attractive and integrate seamlessly with the overall home design – accessibility doesn’t have to look institutional. For families with specific needs, we work closely with you to understand daily challenges and create custom solutions that make life easier while maintaining a beautiful home environment.

Our Keizer homes are built with energy efficiency as a priority. We start with proper insulation that exceeds minimum requirements in walls, ceilings, and floors. We install high-quality windows and ensure they’re properly sealed to prevent air leaks. Most of our homes include efficient heating and cooling systems sized appropriately for the space. Energy-saving appliances, LED lighting, and water-conserving fixtures come standard in many of our builds. These features work together to create homes that stay comfortable year-round while keeping utility bills lower. For homeowners interested in greater efficiency, we can incorporate additional features like extra insulation, solar readiness, or smart home technology that optimizes energy use.

Yes, we provide a comprehensive warranty on all our Keizer custom homes. Our standard warranty covers workmanship for one year, major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) for two years, and structural elements for ten years. This exceeds Oregon’s requirements and reflects our confidence in our building quality. We respond quickly to any warranty issues that arise, addressing problems promptly rather than making you wait. We also help you understand manufacturer warranties on appliances, fixtures, and other components, organizing this information so it’s easy to access if needed. Our goal is your long-term satisfaction, which means standing behind our work long after construction is complete.

Three things set us apart: our personal approach, our attention to detail, and our commitment to integrity. Unlike larger companies where you might deal with different people throughout your project, Mark Prine remains your main contact and oversees your home personally. We take on fewer projects at once so we can give each one proper attention. Our team includes craftspeople who care about details both visible and hidden – from perfectly aligned trim to properly installed insulation. Most importantly, we believe in complete honesty with our customers. We provide clear, detailed estimates without hidden costs, communicate openly about timelines and challenges, and never cut corners just to save time or money. We build each home as if we were building it for our own families, with a focus on both immediate satisfaction and long-term quality.
