Building in Prescott, Answered

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Call 928-776-0301 and we'll talk it through.

Why should I choose R.E.S. Contracting?

+

R.E.S. Contracting has been building custom homes in the Prescott area since 1987, and we use that experience to guide you through the building process and the choices that shape your home.

Staying on budget is a key part of every project. All costs are discussed in detail before any construction starts. We're also committed to using the latest building science to lower your utility bills and create a comfortable, healthy home. Our homeowners are often surprised by how enjoyable the process is and how much better their new home performs.

Why build a home instead of buying an existing one?

+

There are sometimes “bargains” on the resale market, but they almost always require compromises in quality and design. If your new home will be a long-term residence, the advantages of building are significant: the design and quality aren't compromised, and you pay only for what matters to you.

Do I need to have plans first?

+

No. We can work with your existing plans or help you create new ones. The features of your lot and the details you want in your home all shape a design that fits your needs and budget. Give us a call and we can discuss your project.

What areas do you build in?

+

We build throughout Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley. We've built homes in dozens of Prescott-area communities, including The Ranch at Prescott, Hassayampa, Inscription Canyon, American Ranch, Forest Trails, Southview, Prescott Lakes, Williamson Valley, and Highland Pines.

Do you provide financing for new homes?

+

We don't finance homes directly, but we can connect you with local lenders who have experience in the Prescott market. Many of our clients have saved time and money by working with lenders who understand local construction.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Prescott?

+

Costs vary widely depending on the home's size, finish selections, and your property. Call or email us the basics of your project and we can give you an estimate of construction costs. Once your plans are complete, we'll provide the total cost of construction at no charge.

Do I have to live in Prescott while my home is being built?

+

No. Living locally has its advantages, but many of our homeowners live out of town during construction and move straight into their finished home. We schedule site visits with you throughout the build and keep you updated along the way. We can also put you in touch with past clients who built while living out of town.

What if I just want to talk it through?
