when purchasing a new home. If you have already made the wise decision to have a custom home built rather than purchasing an existing home, then you are ready to choose a home builder. If you are looking to build a new home in Palm Coast, there is no better choice than AFHI. Before making your decision, allow us to tell you why AFHI should top of your list of prospective home builders.

What to look for in a home builder

There are many different types of home builders in Florida, just as there are many types of home buyers. For the buyer who is looking for a high-quality, customized home built above Florida hurricane code, tract home builders can immediately be eliminated from the list of potential builders.

Tract homes are most often the cheapest of newly constructed home, and in this case, you definitely get what you pay for. Most often, tract home builders use the cheapest materials they can purchase in mass quantities. There is no individuality amongst these homes; they are

cookie-cutter, mirror images of one another. These homes will never satisfy the discerning home buyer who has quality and safety in mind.

Custom home builders

In most cases, custom home builders use the highest quality materials and give their customers the most options when it comes to style and design choices. The homes built by custom builders are usually much more luxurious in scale, often including vaulted ceilings and bright, airy floor plan choices. Top of the line paint, appliances, flooring and fixtures complete the package of interior choices.

We are proud to say that at AFHI, we use only the highest quality materials. From the architectural shingles, 30 lb

felt, and super-strong CDX plywood that comprise the roof to the steel-reinforced, solid poured concrete walls and foundations, our homes are built to the highest of industry standards.

We also offer our customers an array of choices when it comes to style and décor of their custom-built home. We believe that our customers deserve every opportunity and option available to put their own personal stamp on their living space. We provide the beautiful open floor plans, luxuriously appointed kitchens and bathrooms, and numerous other upgrades; our customers supply the input that ultimately shapes the look and style of each home.

What do we mean when we say our homes are built ‘above code’?

Today’s Florida hurricane building codes do provide buyers of all new homes more protection from hurricanes than many homes built before the building code reforms of the early 1990’s. However, these new codes do not provide as much protection as some consumers have been led to believe.

Only a few Florida counties have adopted the strict standards that are currently in place in Dade county (areas of which were devastated by

Hurricane Andrew in 1992). In fact, the current building code in most counties only requires that new homes be built to withstand a Category 2 hurricane.

That is why we have taken the initiative to provide our customers with more: more features, more options, and more protection in the event of a hurricane.

Levels of above code construction

If you think of the hurricanes that have made headlines over the last two seasons, the name Katrina will be at the forefront of most of our minds. Katrina was at Category 4 strength when it made landfall, and it was certainly not the first Category 4 storm to make landfall in the 2004-2005 hurricane seasons. Homes built at or slightly above code will not withstand this level of storm. That is why our homes are built to withstand at least a Category 4 storm. We strive to offer our customers the highest level of hurricane protection available.

A builder you can trust

At AFHI, our customers are our number one priority, and we stand by the quality of our homes. Each home comes with a 10-year warranty, and you can be certain that you are buying a home that is built to last. Our numerous building projects in Volusia and Flagler Counties are testament to the continuity of quality and stellar customer service we offer. If you are searching for a quality home builder you can trust, add AFHI to your list. You won’t be disappointed.
