Custom Home Building

Reality Homes specializes in constructing fully customizable single-family residences on client-owned land. Our process combines energy-efficient building systems with personalized design choices, allowing homeowners to modify floor plans, add features like daylight basements, and select premium finishes. With over 6,000 homes built since 2002, we deliver tailored living solutions that reflect each client's vision while maintaining structural integrity and long-term value through rigorous quality inspections.

Design Customization

Our design team enables extensive floor plan modifications including wall reconfiguration, window/door adjustments, and square footage expansion. Clients can add premium features like bay windows, three-car garages, and outdoor living spaces. Unlike standard production builders, we welcome personalized changes at every stage, ensuring each home perfectly matches the owner's lifestyle requirements while maintaining structural soundness and building code compliance.

Energy-Efficient Homes

Our energy-smart construction system incorporates high-performance insulation (R-49 ceilings, R-30 floors), low-E argon-filled windows, and efficient HVAC systems. Standard features include fresh air ventilators, LED lighting packages, and Tyvek air barriers that reduce energy consumption by 20% or more. These sustainable practices create healthier living environments while delivering measurable long-term cost savings for homeowners in Pacific Northwest climates.

Construction Process

Our structured 12-step process begins with design consultation and price locking, followed by engineering approvals and site preparation. Multiple quality checkpoints occur during foundation work, framing, and system installations, culminating in a final homeowner walkthrough. The 180/300-day price guarantee protects against cost fluctuations, while our Stress Less Partnership Program coordinates financing and material selections to streamline the building journey from concept to completion.

Warranty Program

Every Reality Home includes a comprehensive QBW Quality Builders Warranty backed by Liberty Mutual. This covers one year of workmanship, two years of system protection (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), and 10-year structural coverage. The program, reserved for vetted builders, provides peace of mind through strict claims resolution processes and our proven track record of addressing homeowner needs promptly throughout the Pacific Northwest.

DO NOT HIRE!!! Our project started in February 2019 and STILL is not done. Luckily we were able to get into the home by July of 2021, but "Punchlist" items still remain. Every trade that was hired to come out and work on our house had nothing but absolutely horrible things to say about the company, many of them no longer taking new projects from them after ours. We had 6-7 project managers throughout the build. At least one was fired and should have never been allowed to be near anyone's home or personal information, the others left as soon as they realized how horrible the

Reality will not finish your home in the timeframe promised! Materials used are low quality and may even be returned items from other jobs.

Everything has been great! Except for the communication part. It was partially my fault due to not having a land line for awhile but once I did get the land line I passed it on to reality homes and they still were trying to call my cell phone which doesn't work. So communication wasn't happening which was causing my home build to slow down. Other than that so far its been a wonderful experience! The sales rep was super! Loved her to pieces! Now we are just waiting on our home to begin being built! Fun experience! Something I've dreamed my entire life but NEVER would have thought it was actually

Reality Homes was the only company willing to truly customize what we wanted in our home. We wanted a basement among other features, and Reality Homes made it happen.
