A: We build primarily on the West side of Austin and central Austin, Horseshoe Bay, and the surrounding area. This includes downtown Austin, Lakeway, Westlake, Dripping Springs, Horseshoe Bay, and the North side of the lake including the Lago Vista area. Depending upon availability, we may take on projects further out. Call our office to determine whether your property is located in our service area.
Q: When should I contact Jenkins Custom Homes to begin the planning process?
A: As soon as you know that you’re going to build a custom home, preferably right around the time you place a contract on the land. We will walk you step-by-step through the process of designing and building a home.
Q: How do I know how much house I can afford?
A: The price of a home can vary dramatically depending on style, topography, and location. The goal of our program is to identify what’s important to you, and provide you with a detailed budget, up front, so that you will have the information needed to make your decision.
Q: How do your prices compare to other Builders?
A: We’re very competitive in our pricing, especially when compared to other quality Builders. Most of our clients are amazed at the level of finish-out we deliver for the money. And, our process and quality controls are unmatched. However, if you’re looking for the low bidder regardless of quality, we prefer not to be on your bid list. Some of the work we see today makes us cringe, and we won’t compromise on quality.
Q: Can we use a material supplier that is not on your “approved vendor” list?
A: When it comes to material suppliers, we are very flexible. We will do our best to work with any vendor you choose. However, when it comes to subcontractors, we are very firm in our belief that ours are the best in the business, and we won’t sacrifice the quality of their work to use someone else. Our subcontractors have been carefully screened and are more like artisans than traditional laborers on a jobsite. They take great pride in their workmanship. In addition, because we use primarily the same subcontractors on all our jobs, we get a consistent quality that is important to us and you.
