Brentwood Builders manages every residential project through five clear phases: an initial consultation, a feasibility study, design and specifications, a contract agreement, and the build phase. Each stage is actively managed through regular communication so the project stays on schedule, within budget, and aligned with your vision.

Brentwood Builders works within your budget for home remodels by first understanding your priorities, then building a plan that delivers the most value for your investment without cutting corners on quality. We stay transparent about costs throughout, so you can make informed decisions and avoid surprises as the project moves forward.

Most home remodels take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the size and complexity of the project. A single-room remodel moves faster than a whole-home remodel or one involving structural changes. During the planning phase, we provide a detailed timeline so you know what to expect at each stage.

A home remodel updates or reconfigures space you already have, such as redoing a kitchen or finishing a basement, while an addition expands your home’s footprint with new square footage, like a room addition, second story, or in-law suite. Remodels are often the better choice for updating layout and finishes, while additions make sense when you simply need more space. We help homeowners weigh both options based on their goals, budget, and existing structure.

Building a custom home in Ohio generally costs about $250 to $400 or more per square foot, depending on the size and complexity of the design, the materials and finishes you choose, your lot and site conditions, and current labor and material prices. In the Greater Dayton, Ohio area, full basements are standard in new construction and add to the base cost while providing significant usable space. Builder-grade construction sits at the lower end of the range, while highly customized designs and premium finishes are toward the top. To get a reliable budget estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation so we can provide pricing that fits the scope of your project.

Once design and permitting are complete, the construction phase of a custom home in Ohio typically takes about 8 to 12 months, depending on the home’s size, design complexity, weather, and material availability. Including the design and permitting phase, most custom-home projects take closer to 12 to 18 months from the first consultation to move-in. Ohio winters can affect site work and scheduling, so we provide a project-specific timeline during planning to give you a realistic picture from day one.

In Ohio, building permits are generally required for home additions, structural changes, and major work involving electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems, while cosmetic updates like painting or flooring usually do not. Specific requirements vary by city and county across the Dayton, Ohio area. As your contractor, we handle the permitting process and ensure the work complies with local building codes and passes inspection.

Universal design, also called aging-in-place design, creates homes that are safe and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities. Common features include single-floor living, wider doorways and hallways, curbless showers, lever handles, and improved lighting. It appeals to homeowners planning to stay in their home long term, multigenerational families, and anyone who wants a more accessible, future-ready home. We build universal design into both new construction and remodels.

The best residential contractors are licensed and insured, experienced with projects like yours, and clear in their written estimates, contracts, and communication. Ask for references and examples of past work, and make sure you understand the process, timeline, and how changes are handled before signing. The right partner manages both design and construction and keeps you informed at every phase.
