Extensive Customization Opportunities Offered by Gerstad Within Its 4 Value-Driven Communities
written 5/5/2012, under New Trends in Housing, Miscellaneous
Families looking for a single-family home that is base priced from the $150’s to $280’s can extensively customize their new 1,560 to 3,177 sq ft. home if they purchase it from Gerstad Builders.
According to Roger Gerstad, “The buyer of a 1,560 sq-ft ranch home for $154,990 can request as many alterations as a family constructing a 3,177 sq ft two- story home for $294,290. The only limit is the homebuyer’s imagination and his budget.”
When families start looking for their first single-family home, with base prices in the $150’s to $280’s they naturally assume that the opportunity to move interior walls, expand the floor plan for more living space, or alter the layout of the kitchen is just wishful thinking. In this price range, they would be correct most of the time, but not if they visit Gerstad Builders’ sales offices in McHenry, Poplar Grove, Richmond and Williams Bay (Wisconsin). They will be pleasantly surprised to hear that all of these opportunities and more are offered.
According to Roger Gerstad, president of the company, “The buyer of a 1,560 square-foot ranch home for $154,990 can request as many alterations and changes as a family constructing a 3,177 square foot two story home for $294,290. The only limit is the homebuyer’s imagination and his financial budget.”
With 20 plus years of experience building all styles of homes, the company can handle small things like removing interior walls, installing vaulted or volume ceilings, increasing the size of garages, creating a backyard entertainment area, or installing a whole house Sony sound system. But don’t think this is all the builder is capable of.
“Recently, we have had a number of families request the total rearrangement of interior walls and expand the foundation for more space to accommodate private in-law suites,” emphasized Gerstad. “Thus we had to take into consideration the privacy issues that are so important in these situations, the budget for such an undertaking and then design a floor plan that met both parties’ lifestyles.”
The company would also like to remind everyone that three-car garages can also be constructed on virtually any it’s floor plans and 90% of its homesites can accommodate them as well. Most of the high-volume home production builders cannot match Gerstad’s abilities in this instance.
So no matter if the task is big or small, Gerstad Builders can do it all. Affordable semi-custom homes are reality, not myth.
