FIRST THOUGHTS

CUSTOM HOMES

PAGE 6

Being able to build a home your way is wonderful. When your new home fits your lifestyle, it gives your family a place that’s truly their own. That’s when “coming home” takes on a whole new meaning.

MODULAR HOMES

It’s the best of both worlds – choose a plan that’s right for you, make a few tweaks and have all the advantages of a high-quality new home at a remarkably affordable price.

A-FRAME HOMES

There’s nothing like a soaring ceiling to put a smile on your face. If you like things rustic but exciting, consider an A-frame. Buy it finished or as a DIY shell to finish exactly to your taste.

CABINS

Wherever you need a hide-away in the woods, on the trail or at the shore, JDM’s remote location building specialists can help. Cabins go up almost anywhere.

Spec

your kitchen as you wish, traditional or contemporary. Quality details, like factoryperfect framing, Energy Star windows and doors, and top brand appliances will make it happen.

BUILD IT YOUR WAY

Our team helps you make the most of your location. With a lake view that these homeowners enjoy, JDM built for height and made sure that large picture frame windows invite in every detail of a colorful sunset.

QUALITY AND VALUE

Design flexibility, expert project management, innovative methods, experienced craftsmen and a clean job site.

BUILD THE JDM WAY

Wall panels built indoors are precisely cut for a greener, more comfortable home. A tighter fit lowers energy bills and eliminates draftiness. Walls go up fast, limit weather damage and generate less waste. For the best of both worlds, start with pre-built wall panels and finish on-site with expert craftsmen, the JDM way.

DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU

Pick a plan to suit your budget and lifestyle or let us design from scratch. We begin by listening carefully and adapt the design to the site, maximizing space, storage and energy efficiency. You approve each important juncture, for a design process that flows easily and checks off every desirable item.

DEDICATED,EXPERIENCED CRAFTSMEN

The extensive experience of JDM’s carpenters, roofers, painters and other craftsmen is an advantage that can hardly be overstated. Our close-knit crew works together to increase speed, competence, cooperation, cleanliness and trustworthiness. Our project managers bring more than 120 years’ combined experience to our work. In fact, if you ask us to come back in a few years and build another home for you, you will likely see the same faces among your crew!

MORE FOR YOUR MONEY

JDM custom homes have 2"x6" studs that allow for 50% more insulation. Windows are oak-framed, garages are dry-walled, and cabinetry is expertly installed. Our efficient processes reduce the cost of materials, on-site labor, and expensive clean-up.

MAKE THE MOST OF A SITE

Only custom homes can be positioned and configured to make the most of a site’s shape, orientation and view.

CUSTOM FEATURES, YOURS ALONE

These homeowners made surprising use of attic space by turning the concept of a widow’s walk into today’s glamour deck – up where the stars are in full view.

HILLTOP HEAVEN

Everything about this warm contemporary responds to its hilltop site, from its maximumview, vaulted-ceiling family room to its fully furnished decks. On the decks, with their interesting change-up in surface materials, you’ll find an outdoor kitchen, lounge and bar seating, and a generously sized dining table. There’s even a Juliet balcony!

A NEW, MODULAR DAWN

Modular homes have come of age at last, bringing new levels of quality and flexibility to their widely known affordability. With our long experience in panelization, we are uniquely positioned to deliver the significant advantages of modular construction to your home building project.

YOU CAN AFFORD TO GO NEW

Downsizing or rightsizing can give you all the advantages of new windows and doors, lowmaintenance surfaces, and trouble-free appliances while freeing you from rent payments or a big mortgage.

ADAPTABLE, AFFORDABLE SPACES

In modular building, your floor plan needs wall, door and window placements that match your family’s needs. On the outside there are many options, including porches, dormers and accessory buildings like a garage.

MANY DESIGN OPTIONS

Dozens of floorplans and elevations await your choice, from ranches and capes to full two-story colonials. Besides use as a principal residence, modulars make cost-efficient guest houses, granny flats and vacation homes.

CURB APPEAL AND MORE!

Our modular homes often have a curb appeal indistinguishable from custom homes – which makes the price all the more welcome!

NICELY FINISHED INSIDE AND OUT

Our modular homes have carefully crafted exterior details with your choice of siding, roofing, paint colors, shutters, front doors and garage doors. Interiors come fully finished with painted wallboard, carpeting or tile, insulation, wiring and plumbing, cabinetry, countertops and fixtures.

AMAZING CONSTRUCTION WITH YOUR INDIVIDUAL TOUCH

DISCIPLINED SELECTION OF MATERIALS AND QUALITY CONTROL. Only #1 grade lumber is used in every JDM modular homes construction, and each board is examined and stored in moisture controlled areas. Each step is controlled by a job site director, present through the building process, and precise architectural drawings. You design the roadmap and we follow it to a tee.

TIGHT CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND EFFICIENCY THROUGHOUT. The JDM modular home method is a good choice for your heating bills and the environment. Our two-part adhesive bond that follows the entire length of the stud and vertical sheathing seal off air infiltration cavities and prevent drafts. What it means is a home that is at least two times more energy efficient than homes built on-site. In addition, all scrap wood, sawdust and vinyl material are recycled through a local business partnership.

THE STRONGEST WAY OF BUILDING A HOME.

POSSIBLY

The significant advantage to prebuilt homes is in the controlled construction environment. We use techniques like hinged trusses that fold down during transport and snap up for installation and blocking behind walls for extra support needed for mounted televisions or hand rails.

CHOOSE THE OPTIONS TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN.

We begin the process together by helping you decide on the right floor plan for your needs and plot. Then we walk you through the options, from cabinetry to flooring and trim. JDM modular homes have more than 100 floor plans to choose from in ranch, cape cod and two-story colonial styles. Combine spaces for larger living areas or multiple room configurations!
