There’s a reason we advise prospective clients to spend quality time looking for the best general contractor for their needs. However, not all contractors are created equal, and any new home build, renovation, addition, or remodel deserves professionalism and craftsmanship only found in a handful of local general contractors.
A General Contractor With Platinum-Standard Values
Whether you’re building a new home or remodeling and improving the one you have, the success of your project is almost entirely based on the design-build team you choose for the job. Beyond current licensure and experience, there are several reasons why Fogle Constructors stands apart from the rest.
1. Quality construction that lasts a lifetime
Homes should be built to last for a lifetime, requiring a combination of forward-thinking design and planning, superior craftsmanship, and the use of high-quality materials.
With routine annual maintenance, your home or remodel should last for decades, if not centuries. The extra investment you make at the outset pays off exponentially over the lifetime of your home, with fewer repair and replacement costs – not to mention homeowner satisfaction and peace of mind.
2. Local is always better
Follow the information trail of some of the major production-focused subdivisions in and around Volusia County, and you’ll find most of them are run by corporate-level construction firms with headquarters in another state. They are more concerned with short-term profits than their local reputation and homeowners’ satisfaction. Their ultimate goal is to build something “good enough” that everything survives the one-year warranty period. Of course, by then, they are already gone and working on a new development elsewhere.
Fogle Constructors is a local family-owned construction firm based right here in DeLand, Florida. Our owners, superintendents, carpenters, laborers, and subcontractors live in your neighborhoods, shop at your grocery stores, and their children attend the same schools as yours. Our reputation in the community is of the utmost importance, reflected in our 5-star ratings and positive customer reviews.
3. Quality craftsmanship
Many companies use the term “quality craftsmanship,” but what does that really mean? Here at Fogle Constructors, quality craftsmanship means we perform all of our work with the same level of attention as we would if we were building homes for our mothers or grandmothers.
Quality craftsmanship means:
- Hiring experienced carpenters and continuing our training to keep up with industry innovations
- Using the best materials
- Never taking shortcuts
- Exceeding building code requirements (see below)
- Ripping things out and doing it again if it’s not done right the first time (on our dime, not yours)
- Creating personalized, individualized designs – rather than cookie-cutter copies of what we’ve done before
- Detail and finish work that is honed, refined, and looks (and performs) picture perfect
- Exclusively partnering with subcontractors that have the same level of integrity in their work as we do in ours
We invite you to walk the average subdivision “model home” and then peruse our gallery of recently completed designs. There is a notable difference – like purchasing a knock-off outfit at a discount store or having a tailor-made suit from a well-respected designer.
4. We build “above” the building code
Most contractors use the building codes with a “meet them, and you’re done,” philosophy. However, we view building codes as a minimum standard. They are created at the federal, state, and local levels to protect the safety and well-being of building owners, occupants, and communities. We take those commitments seriously, which means we strive to complete our custom homes and remodels by building above code.
The materials we use, the techniques we apply, and our dedication to legacy building mean our homes meet and exceed these codes. When you work with us, we guarantee our finished products:
- Go beyond minimum efficiency guidelines (one of the most sought-after features for homeowners)
- Next-level protection from high winds and hurricanes
- Additional features to increase moisture protection and whole-home comfort and humidity levels
5. You become a valued part of our team
Most of the projects we tackle take multiple weeks, if not many months or more, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the work required. This means we’re forming long-term relationships with our customers.
Making homeowner dreams come true is far more enjoyable when we have a good time working together. When you work with us, you become an integral part of our team, which goes a long way toward a positive home-building experience.
