Renner Homes is very interested in educating the consumer to help families obtain the best value and highest-quality in a new custom home as well as to help avoid pitfalls and sub-par workmanship common from less reputable home builders. Please review the frequently asked questions below and/or submit a question of your own.
| What makes Renner Homes different from other builders? |
| There are several differentiators of a Renner Home. First and
foremost, we pride ourselves on our ethics—we let you know up front
about expectations and costs and we don’t play around with numbers.
Next, our quality is among the best in the marketplace. Our quality
cannot be overstated—this fact alone sets Renner Homes in the top tier
of custom home builders. Also, the overall value received in the new
custom home surpasses most builders. Finally, we like to educate our
clients on what makes for an ideal custom home—a truly custom home that
can last your family decades or even generations.

| How much do you charge per square foot? |
| Cost per square foot is a marketing ploy used by some builders in
their ads that can sometimes cause confusion in the marketplace. Also,
builder’s who advertise cost per square foot often use sub-par (or
“builder’s grade”) materials. Cost per square foot varies drastically on
options and features, so don't be fooled by generic and meaningless
numbers.

| How much will land add to the cost of my new custom home? |
| Land costs can vary drastically by geography and proximity to areas
of attraction such as near or in a city, on the lake front, or in a
private golf course community. The old Real Estate adage “Location,
location, location!” certainly is true. Renner Homes can assist you in
obtaining the ideal lot for your new custom home. |
| Are there additional building costs associated with my land? |
| Yes, there are common improvement costs for land preparation,
grading, well, septic, and gravel drive for rural or acreage properties
or grading, water line, sewer, gas, and driveway for subdivision or city
lots. Renner Homes will account for these costs and we will thoroughly
review these costs with you to help ensure there are no surprises. |
| Can I customize the floor plan? |
| Well, sure—if you have a floor plan in mind, let us know and we can
start from there. Renner Homes is a custom builder and we normally do
not begin the process with a floor plan. Unlike other so called “custom
builders” that start with a plan and allow you to customize it, Renner
Homes starts from scratch with you and your family’s needs and desires
in mind, getting to know you and your tastes and what would make for a
truly ideal custom-to-only-you home. |
| How will I be able to customize the new home? |
| Customization of your new home will only have limits of your dreams
and budget. Renner Homes takes into consideration your personality and
style. Custom choices include floor plan, elevation, roof shingles,
siding, brick work, windows, cabinetry, countertops, wall colors,
faucets, and more. Renner Homes will guide you through the process and
you’ll find
top brand names and lots of samples to help make building
your custom home a pleasant experience. |
| After the contract is signed, can I make changes to my new home? |
| No problem! It is our duty to deliver the custom home you want. You
should notify
us of any changes you’re considering immediately as to allow the
ability to deliver your changes correctly and on time. Also, we will be
clear on any additional costs so there are no surprises. |
| Do you offer financing? |
| While Renner Homes is not a mortgage lender, we have stable and
secure
financial partners that can assist in obtaining any needed
financing. If financing is needed, qualifying and knowing your price
range is the first step of the process. |
| Isn't it too hard to qualify for a mortgage now? |
| For the answer to this question, please see our
Financing Section. |
| Can I finance my land in my home loan? |
| Yes, and it’s encouraged to help obtain a loan. While if you do
already own your land outright it would greatly assist in obtaining any
needed financing, it is by no means necessary. |
| Can I build my new home if I have a home to sell? |
| Essentially, this is dependent upon your entire financial overview
that our
financial partners can help you determine. Most of Renner Home’s
clients are able to start construction on their new custom home while
having their existing home on the market. Also, it’s common to make
interest only payments during the construction phase of the new custom
home as to not have two full mortgage payments while your home is being
built. |
| When should I apply for a new home loan? |
| Now! Loan applications can be complex and take weeks, so the sooner
the better.

financial partners today. |
| Where does Renner Homes build? |
| Renner Homes is located and primarily builds in North Central
Georgia, including all of Metropolitan Atlanta. Our quality is renowned,
so if you wish to build outside of this region,
contact us to see if
arrangements can be made. |
| Do you use high-quality products? |
| The term “builder’s grade” is not one of endearment and there’s
truth behind the saying—most builders use low-end products in both the
construction and the finishes of a new custom home. Part of what makes
Renner Homes different is that we only use
high-quality construction materials from specific reputable brands and
sources. |
| Does Renner Homes Have Insurance? References? Etc? |
| Yes, great
testimonials and references, as well as generously bonded and
insured. Please
contact us to receive a copy of the documentation. |
| Do you warrant your new custom homes? |
| Absolutely—and unlike most other custom home builders that pass the
warranties on to oftentimes questionable third-party companies, Renner
Homes warrants your new custom home directly. If any unforeseen event
were to occur and a warranty request needs made, you can rest assured
that a highly qualified Renner Homes professional will be at your aide
with no deductible obligation from you. Although your we warrant for
12-months, many of our products manufacture's warranties go well beyond
that and some warrant for a lifetime. |
| How long will the building process take? |
| Because each custom home is different, there is no way to tell
exactly how long a home will take to build. That being said, Renner
Home’s average build time for a wood frame home is 8-12 months, which
includes planning and design. Many
factors can impact the building process. Renner Homes stays on schedule
through excellent communication with vendors and clients and with
streamlined project management processes. |
| When does building of my high-quality custom home begin? |
|
Ready to get started? Generally speaking, there are several
requirements for project commencement: 1. Close the loan (or collect a 20% down payment from cash customers) 2. Drafting, design, and final customer approval of building plans 3. Subdivision approval (if applicable) 4. Satisfaction of local government requirements (permits) |
