Are you a custom builder?

Yes

You can use your plans, our plans or we will design a plan specifically for you.

I don't have much extra time. Is it easy to build with your company?

Yes

We do as much or as little of the work as you want. One of the biggest time savers our customers enjoy is the CVH Design center ( no driving around to store after store ). Here you can enjoy one-stop shopping for all your interior and exterior color and material choices.

Do you offer help with financing?

Yes

Our financial manager, Hope Green, will help you find a very competitive rate and a lending institution that focuses on customer service.

What will construction financing cost?

Very little

Construction financing is very important if you are comparing CVH to a "stick builder". Thousands of dollars can be added to the cost of "stick building" a home, since construction time takes months. This is a cost paid directly by you to the bank.

Is CT or RI tax, delivery and crane included in the price?

Yes

You will see it noted as included on all of our paperwork.

Is the interior and exterior trimout included in the price?

Yes

In fact, we guarantee the workmanship will be equal to, or better than our model homes.  Of course we do give excellent credits if you prefer to do some of this work yourself.

Can CVH arrange for complete sitework?

Yes

We work with professional general contractors across Connecticut, Rhode Island, Block Island, and Fishers Island. Over the years we have found this to be the easiest and most cost saving method of completing sitework for our customers. Or, if you prefer, you can do the general contracting yourself for extra savings.

Do you have your own crews?

Yes

At CVH we employ our own crews full time so we can guarantee the quality of your new home will be equal to our model homes.

What if something is damaged? Who does the follow-up service?

We do

If it isn't right, we fix it. We employ our own crews so we can guarantee the work will be done.  We provide a high level of follow-up service to guarantee your satisfaction.

May I have references?

Yes

Just ask and we will give you names and phone numbers.

May I have the names of banks and mortgage companies your customers have used?

Yes

This is a good way to check the reputation of any company.

Do you have a "Quality equal to your model home guarantee" that you will put in writing?

Yes

This is important. It guarantees your satisfaction.

Are you a member of the Better Business Bureau?

Yes
