We think through even the smallest details to make the experience of owning and living in your home more pleasant and fulfilling. Here are just a few examples of the ways in which we go above and beyond the average custom home builder to provide a better home for our clients.

Our Engineering Process

At Sterling Custom Homes we have a detailed lot analysis process we have developed over 30 years.

Founded on Engineering

Sterling Custom Homes was founded by an Engineer, and this expertise is evident in every detail of the homes we build.

Expertise through Experience

For more than 30 years we have learned from each home we build, and each client we build for, and we apply that accumulated knowledge to each new project.

Embrace Technology

We spend a lot of time researching, implementing and in some cases creating new technologies that allow us to improve quality, streamline the building process and save you money.

Attention to Detail

We are very hands on in our construction management process and are onsite daily to monitor progress, mitigate problems and ensure a smooth building process.

Builder Insight

In this video Duke McDowell, President of Sterling Custom Homes, explains how we use 3D modeling in engineering your home in order to address potential issues in the architectural design and fix them before we ever start building your new custom home, saving you both time and money.

Our new home demonstrates the benefit of your engineering background and custom homebuilding experience. The value of your high professional standards is reflected in the work and the attitude of your staff, subcontractors, and business associates. Thank you for your suggestions, concern, understanding, care, clear and frequent communication, patience with our many questions, attention to details and follow-up.
