Home Improvement FAQs

Yes. Hepler Homes is dedicated to being there throughout every step of the way to ensure that your new home is everything you wanted. Dave visits your home site often and is familiar with every detail of the process. Dave and the entire Hepler Homes team are available via the CoConstruct App.

And with our online communication system, the process of building your forever home can be more enjoyable. We provide easy access so you can see pictures, financial information, and notifications when major progress has been made.

Your first meeting with Dave at Hepler Homes will be spent discussing your dream home visions, plan ideas, the feasibility of building on your lot, financing options, timelines, and the building process. You may already have a blueprint, some initial ideas or can select from our existing plans. Hepler Homes will use these visions to determine the feasibility of your dream home plan compared to what your budget allows.

A picture tells a thousand words, so the best preparation in communicating your vision to us with as many pictures and ideas. The Hepler Homes website is a great place to start. Additionally, friends and acquaintances that have been through the building process can provide personal stories about their experience. These stories will allow you to gauge your expectations and communicate them to Hepler Homes by means of questions.

Hepler Homes is very flexible in allowing you to be as involved as you wish to. Throughout the home building process, there will be scheduled meetings with you at the site. During these meetings you will refine the requirements of such things as electrical, plumbing, and kitchen. These are great opportunities to discuss any questions that you have and bring up any specific detail that has not been discussed already. Be aware that construction sites are dangerous places, especially for children. If you have other changes or questions about the construction and changes, this is communicated through the CoConstruct app. 

In addition to visits or occasional walk-throughs at the site, a great deal of time can be spent in choosing the finishing selections of the home.  This is the personality of your new home and you have to live with your decisions.  There are many selections that go into the construction of a new home, and each selection must be clearly specified and understood by all parties. You’ll be introduced to our suppliers and designers who will help guide you through the process. Thing that get selected during the building process can include…

• Home placement
• Windows and Doors
• Masonry and Siding
• Roofing
• Plumbing and electrical fixtures
• Hardware
• Paint
• Cabinets and Trim
• Flooring
• Appliances
• Landscaping

You may first ask, what constitutes a change or alteration. Any change from the original specifications require a change order, even if there is no cost or time difference. A change does not always occur after you see something you don’t prefer in your home; it may be something that will be taking place in the next week or so of the project. If there is ever a change that you wish to see made in the home, simply submit the change through the CoConstruct online portal.

Short answer is, No. Hepler Homes will be happy to make recommendations, but does not require that you use specific vendors for such things as kitchen appliances, lighting fixtures, and plumbing fixtures. Hepler Homes use some of the best people and have long standing relationships with them, we are confident in the products which is why they are recommended to you.
