New Custom Home Building

An Open and Transparent Building Process

At Finney/Smith Builders, transparency is not just a goal—it’s the foundation of our business. Our open-book model eliminates hidden fees, unnecessary markups, and vague costs, making your budget as clear as possible. We break down each line item, so you’ll see exactly how your investment is being used. With us, there are no “padded” bills, no unexplained charges, and no surprises.

What You Can Expect from Our Transparent Process:

• Detailed Budgeting: Each cost is documented, from materials to labor, so you know exactly where your dollars are going.
• No Hidden Fees: We don’t tack on unnecessary expenses or “cushion” fees. With Finney/Smith Builders, your budget is fair and consistent.
• Quality Over Cost-Cutting: Unlike contractors who use subpar materials or questionable practices to offer the lowest bid, we prioritize quality and longevity over temporary savings.

If cost alone is your top concern, we might not be the best fit. Our clients choose us because they value transparency, craftsmanship, and service above all else. With Finney/Smith Custom Home Building, you’re not just building a house—you’re creating a home built to last, using high-quality materials and a trusted network of professionals.
