Building a Home

NE Ohio Builders

My wife and I are in the very early stages of considering to build a new home. We are in the Akron (Cleveland) area and didn't know if anybody would have suggestions for builders?

Wayne or Schumacher? "Custom"? Any smaller outfits? Price vs. Quality?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can shed some light.

I built in Medina...what's your budget?

"All-in"... our budget is a max of $300k. Ideally we would like to be in the $250k range.

Land/lot would not be included in that figure.

But things like utility hook-in, driveway (a small one), yard, etc would be. Also, we do not really need/want custom everything. We would be ok with Kraftmaid/Merillat/etc cabinets for example. But we would want "upgrades" like granite countertops and hardwood flooring on the first floor.

In other words, nice... be realistic nice as well. Nothing crazy high end needed or wanted.

More specifically, we would be looking to build in the Cuyahoga Falls / North Hampton area.

Hope this helps and thanks for any insight.
