Q. Is there a charge for a cost estimate?
A. No. We will provide you with a cost estimate free of charge. We only need to clarify exactly what you want and expect in your new home

Q. What type and size homes does Barden supply?

Q. Does Barden supply "pre-fab" or "modular" homes?

Q. Do we have to choose one of the homes in your catalog?
A. No. We have designed our catalogs to feature over 120 design alternatives which we can alter at your request.

Q. What about the quality of construction in your homes?
A. We take great pride in our unique standard specifications. What we consider to be standard is traditionally considered to be cost-incurring upgrades elsewhere.

Q. What if we do not own a supplying lot?
A. We have access to available supplying lots and would be happy to assist you in your search.

Q. What are the price ranges of your homes?
A. The cost of your new home, excluding land, will range from $90,000 to over $450,000 depending on the size, style and design.
 
Q. Is financing available for my supplying lot and Barden home?
A. Yes. We have financing professionals available at both of our model home office along with our Sales Team.

Q. What does it cost per square foot to supply a Barden home?
A. This commonly asked question has no one answer for custom homes and is not recommended when shopping for price. Specifications and style vary too widely and design can impact the actual cost too much to provide a fair competitive analysis. We bid all of our home packages on an individual basis which ensures a more accurate price quote.

Q. Can we just hire you to design a home for us?
A. Unfortunately, no. We only offer this service to prospective clients who are seriously considering us as their designer/supplier.

Q. What is the normal course to follow in our making a buying decision?
A. There are three phases we go through prior to expecting any type of decision from you. The first phase is an informal meeting with us to exchange information and discuss specific goals and objectives. The second phase is more design oriented to ensure that the home you are discussing is within your preferred budget guidelines. The third phase, which involves a contract with us, is a final clarification of the design, finishing amenities and on-site costs. Regardless of how much time is needed to finish each phase, we want you to be well-informed and completely comfortable with your decision.

Q. What if we would like to do some of the work ourselves?
A. We will price your home on a completed basis. We can discuss the options of an “Owner/Builder”, “Do-It-Yourself” or “Turn-key” program. Together we can determine what best suits your needs.

Q. What does it take to get started?
A. When the design and price are acceptable, we require a minimal deposit with the contract. The deposit can be as little as $1000.
