Choosing the right home builder is a very personal and important decision. There are several choices for home builders in and around Council Bluffs and Omaha.  The decision should not be based on who offers the cheapest price or who talks themselves up the most.  You need to be able to look your contractor in the eye and know that you can trust him.  You need to know that your home building project will be handled with care and that your valuable investment will turn into a high-quality, valuable asset.  You also need a builder who is flexible and who can handle changes in a way that is fair and reasonable for you - someone who will work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want.

Cherry Ridge Construction is the right builder to build your custom home in the Council Bluffs / Omaha area.  Chris Rochleau and his team work with you to make sure the entire home building experience is pleasant and without hassle.  And throughout the project, you can rest assured that Cherry Ridge is building in top-tier home construction quality.  Chris states, "the important parts of the house are the things you don't see.  You want to know that what's inside the walls is just as high quality as what you see on the outside."  He also says that, "I want the house to 'perform' well...that's why we spend time with the homeowner to work out all the little details to make sure the home flows with their lifestyle."

How Does It Work?

Planning Chris Rochleau will personally meet with you to discuss your dreams, your goals, and your vision for what you want in a new house.  After discussing the home's style, size, and amenities, Chris will prepare a detailed cost estimate for your review.  It is at this stage that the great value of working with Chris really begins.  During the planning process, Chris thinks of little details that are often overlooked by other contractors and even by homeowners.  If you need help choosing a neighborhood, a lot, a banker, or anything else in the planning process, Cherry Ridge will help.

Selection After the planning stage you will receive a final firm cost agreement, so you know exactly what your new home is going to cost.  You are in control of the selection and any amenity upgrades you may choose for your home.  This is the fun part.  Accompanied by a Cherry Ridge team member, you will be given access to their vendor showrooms to choose floor coverings, doors, appliances, tile, cabinetry and all the other finish parts of your home.  You will have several styles, colors, and textures to choose from within your budget range.  However, if at any time during the selection process you want to upgrade, it's no problem.  You will always know how upgrades affect the budget.  Honest communication and no surprises - Always!

Build This is the easy part for you.  You are welcome to visit the home site as often or as little as you'd like.  Cherry Ridge gets to work building your home and keeps the project rolling on a timely basis.  The site is kept safe, clean, and organized to provide the best working environment for subcontractors and vendors.  And Cherry Ridge keeps you consistently informed about how your project is progressing.

Move In As the house is nearing completion, you will complete a final walk-through with Chris to make sure everything meets your expectations.  After the house closes, you can move in.  Your Cherry Ridge home will be covered by a one-year warranty, and Cherry Ridge will keep in touch on a regular basis to make sure you are comfortable in your new home.
