Our Services

Whether you’re looking for a custom design or an off-the-shelf plan that will require little modification, we can take you the rest of the way. We can also show you “spec” homes, virtually ready for you to move in.

As part of this ongoing support, EFC provides a six-year warranty on all new home construction projects. Few custom home builders offer this type of extended warranty provision. Ours is backed by the Residential Warranty Company (NWC), one of the nation’s top warranty providers.

Coming from business and engineering backgrounds, we have scheduling and planning tools that enable us to cost out projects accurately for our clients. This way you can make your selections, express your preferences and see accurately what they will cost before moving forward. Open communication and collaboration are key.
