Building a custom home is a long process, filled with a lot of decisions and excitement—and sometimes, the little things that need to be done before you move into a new home can be overlooked.

Our Aging in Place Home Features
âAging in placeâ refers to the ability to live in one home for the rest of one’s life—meaning you’ll never have to renovate or move to accommodate for your changing needs throughout your life. It’s often an alternative to living in a health care environment or nursing home. At Sekas Homes, we offer a number of features designed for people interested in aging in place, so you can enjoy your home for years to come.
A Pre-Drywall Checklist for Your Custom Home

At Sekas Homes, we have designed many beautiful and functional master bathrooms to suit a variety of tastes and styles, and we can create one for you, too. But first, take a look at some of our previous work and find some master bathroom ideas to inspire you.
