Frequently Asked Questions from Pittsford Home Buyers

We understand the building, buying, and selling of a home can be quite confusing. As a leader in the real estate industry in Pittsford, NY Spall Homes Corporation is here to help you get the answers to many frequently asked questions throughout the entire process. We want to foster a great relationship with you and your family during the home building experience. We work our hardest to stay in constant, when necessary, communication with you to ensure we are building your dream home. Before we begin here are some frequently asked questions to consider when working with your Spall Homes builder. If you don’t see your question below, please contact us for more information about our available homes for sale near Rochester.

What expectations should I set for myself?

You already have your dream home in mind, right? Allow the real estate professionals at Spall Homes to work their magic and make that dream become a reality. We will work hard to ensure that you are satisfied with your and the building process.

When should I speak to the bank about buying?

It is always a good idea to talk to a lender before you begin the buying process to get pre-qualified. That will allow you to fully understand what the purchase price of the home will mean for your monthly payments. With a pre-qualification in hand we can work with you to come up with a house plan and location that can keep you in your specified budget.

Do I need a specific loan for new home construction?

We do not require a specific new construction loan. As part of the Spall process we want to see around 15% of the total purchase price down over the course of construction. These are broken up into three separate progress payments during construction. The remainder is due at closing. Please reach out for more details.

Do I need a real estate agent to build a new home?

You do not need to have a real estate agent to build a new home. However, we gladly cooperate with real estate agents. Many buyers are already working with an agent in their home search or to sell their current home.

Can you customize a model or spec home under construction?

We have many homes already constructed and are move-in ready for you and your family. If some of these do not meet your specifications or desires, we can personalize them with your modifications. Our experts will help guide you to which ones can be modified and how we can help build your dream home.

Do you build custom homes or cookie cutter neighborhoods?

While we do build neighborhoods, there is nothing cookie-cutter about our homes. We create each home with you and your family in mind. Our experts work with you on design and bring it all to life. Quality is the Key when you work with Spall Homes. Visit one of our three neighborhoods today to see the difference each home embodies.

How long does it take to build a home?

The time it takes us to build your dream home depends on how you wish for the home to look. The size and desires of the home will all determine the amount of time needed for your home. Our portfolio homes normally take 5-6 months (more like 10-12 months in today’s environment) from when construction begins. Our experts will be able to assist in getting you a better timeframe.

Can I visit the construction site of my home while you build?

Throughout the build, we actually encourage you to come to the site to check on your Spall Homes progress on your Pittsford, NY home. Communication is one of our strongest features and our most significant tool while building our relationship and your home.

Do you have any recommendations for moving and settling into my new home?

Yes, with 70 years’ experience we’ve seen it all. A lot goes into preparing for your new home and moving, check out our recommendations for making moving day a success.

"The boxes are finally unpacked and the furniture is in its place. Karen and I wanted to let you know how happy and proud we are to be owners of a Spall home. Having seen this house being built, I have admired the quality and workmanship that went into it. But it is only now that we are living in it on a daily basis that I have come to appreciate it fully. I now know why our agent would say, 'You’re not just buying a home...you’re buying a Spall Home.'"

"The experience of building our new Spall home has been uniformly wonderful. We love our home and could never have built from afar in Massachusetts without the Spall Corporation ‘total experience.’ From providing one-stop building material choices to accommodating our limited ability to visit for a walk through, the Spall team has been superb."

"We’ve purchased no fewer than three Spall homes, and we’ve been delighted with all of them. Your dedication to listening and meeting individual customer needs is just amazing. Our first home was built when we had young children, the second as the kids grew older and we needed more room and features, the third to accommodate us as empty nesters. So really, you’ve taken care of us at each stage in our family’s life. It’s a special relationship—and believe me, we would never build a home without Spall’s Steve Maynard heading up the project."

"Pat and I were moving from our first home, which we purchased 25 years ago and in which we raised our children. The prospect of moving and building a new home was understandably intimidating. Moreover, during most of my life I have heard people describe their difficulties in building a new home, usually saying, ‘If you ever go through building a house, you will never do it again.’ I must tell you that nothing could be further from the truth with respect to Spall Homes. Every aspect of our experience was handled with efficiency and expertise."

"The fact that we’re living in our third Spall home and are currently building yet another one for my parents really speaks for itself! Each time, the entire experience with you has been exceptional; everyone we dealt with—from the owners to various trade people—was professional, kind, considerate, and completely devoted to making our home the very best quality it could possibly be. Moreover, you created a home that seems to be custom-designed for us… a perfect match for the way we live."

"As I’m sure you know, Northstone is a fantastic family neighborhood. There are kids everywhere, paths to the open field, streams, ponds, dirt piles and boulders. It really is a kid’s dream and a throwback to an earlier time when you could let your children out to play and never worry about them. Congratulations on a great vision."

"I can't begin to tell you how incredibly pleased I am with my new home. Your company makes the difference between mediocrity and excellence, far exceeding many of my expectations. Your staff was thoughtful, accommodating, and blended efficiency with remarkable attention to detail. Contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed the process of building a home thanks to the superb manner in which all the details were handled. I will miss seeing all your friendly faces since I no longer have to pop in and out of your office, but I will keep in touch. Thanks for a job well done."

"Building our first Spall home with you years ago was a remarkable, highly enjoyable process. We loved the house and were genuinely sad to move from the area and leave it behind—so much so, that when we moved back to Pittsford we tried to repurchase it from the new owners! When they wouldn’t sell, the clear course was to build a second Spall home. We love this one even more. From the responsive, ongoing customer service… to the superior quality of construction…we simply couldn’t be more thrilled."

"I should note that all of your subcontractors were always patient, courteous and understanding when I often asked questions about their functions. I’m sure you are aware, but let me add that your subcontractors are among your best representatives. They are very positive about being a part of the Spall Homes team and have a sense of pride at being selected as contractors for your organization."
