All FAQs
Do I need to own land before I contact you?

No. Having property helps, but Cody is happy to talk early in your land search and help you think through site feasibility, utility costs and how a lot will affect your build.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Charlestown, Indiana and build throughout Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Scott counties — including Jeffersonville, Sellersburg, Clarksville, New Albany and Corydon — and across the river in the Louisville / Kentuckiana area.

Can I use my own house plans?

Yes. Many of our clients bring plans. We review them with you, suggest improvements where they help, and price the home from the finalized drawings.

How are payments structured?

Payments are tied to completed construction milestones (for example foundation, framing, dry-in, trim and final), so you are paying for work that is done. We will walk you through the exact schedule in your proposal.

How long does a custom home take?

Most custom homes and barndominiums take roughly five to nine months once construction starts, depending on size, finishes, weather and permitting. The Kress Cottage was started in September and finished before Christmas.

Do you build barndominiums with a shop or garage?

Yes. Combining living space with a shop, garage or equipment bay is one of the main reasons people choose a barndominium, and we plan that connection carefully.
