- SNstephanie nielsen4 days ago5.0I’ve known Tyler and Brittney Hopkins with Southern Family Home Builders for several years, and I can honestly say they’re some of the most trustworthy, hardworking people you’ll meet. Their family-owned business operates with true integrity and care in every project. I’ve recommended them to countless friends and clients because I know they’ll deliver quality work and treat people right. If you’re thinking about building a new home or renovating your current one, Southern Family Home Builders is the team to call.
- NNNicholasOct 7, 20255.0This company did a near total renovation of my home, and the results are beautiful. They reinforced joists, installed LVP flooring, built a gorgeous kitchen with granite countertops, green cabinets, and a brick backsplash, and created a fun bathroom with checkered floors and green tile. The project took longer than expected, but they kept me informed and explained changes clearly, like when a new septic system was needed. They’ve also been responsive in addressing follow-up needs, from smoothing out the yard to HVAC adjustments. As someone in my late 20s without much of a vision for the house, I appreciated their guidance in helping me choose finishes and bring everything together. They were communicative, pleasant to work with, and stood by their work.
- JKJim KirschOct 6, 20255.0We love our covered patio built by Southern Family! They were very affordable and did quality work.
- LGLauren GreerSep 30, 20255.0We used Southern Family Home Builders for an extensive home remodel. They were professional, on time, and on budget. Highly recommend.
- JCJeremy ConcepcionSep 19, 20255.0We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Southern Family Home Builders. Some of our close friends used them to build their new custom home (out in Madison), and after seeing the quality of work we had SFHB do a major overhaul remodeling on our 1988 house over in south Huntsville. Phenomenal craftsmanship.
Frequently Asked Questions About Southern Family Home Builders
What is the primary difference between your custom home build process and a typical builder's process?
Our process employs a collaborative design-build approach, bringing together architects, designers, and construction teams from the project's inception. This integrated method ensures your vision is accurately maintained, helps control costs early in the process, and significantly reduces construction timelines and unexpected changes.
Are you licensed and insured?
Southern Family Home Builders holds the highest level of certifications available for residential home builders in Alabama. We maintain full insurance coverage for all aspects of our work, from start to finish, to ensure your protection and satisfaction.
Can I see a portfolio of your work, particularly projects similar to my vision (e.g., luxury additions, whole-home remodels)?
We showcase a diverse range of projects, including custom estates and high-end remodels, on our social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. For qualified clients, we can also arrange private tours of completed or ongoing projects upon request.
How much does a custom home or a luxury addition typically cost per square foot?
The cost per square foot varies significantly based on factors such as design complexity, material selections, and site conditions. Our approach is to work backwards from your target budget, ensuring that the design and scope align with your financial objectives from the beginning of the project.
Do you provide a free estimate, or do I need a Design Agreement to receive a detailed quote?
We offer a complimentary, high-level cost range during the initial consultation. For a guaranteed, detailed proposal, we transition into a paid pre-construction or design agreement phase, which includes architectural plans, engineering, and final material sourcing.
Am I allowed to make changes during construction, and how is that handled?
We aim to create the home of your dreams, not ours. Changes are possible during construction, but budget considerations are crucial. We discuss the cost implications of any proposed changes before implementing them to ensure transparency and alignment with your goals.
What is the typical timeline for a custom home build versus a large-scale remodel/addition?
The construction phase for a custom home typically spans 9 to 12 months. Our team manages pre-construction components including design, site development, budgeting, and financing. Large-scale remodels or luxury additions generally take 6 to 12 months, depending on structural complexity and material lead times.
What is the very first step I should take? Should I have plans, land, or a lender first?
The optimal first step is to engage a qualified builder. We can assist in assessing land feasibility, connect you with draftsmen specializing in your preferred style, and introduce you to trusted construction lenders. This approach ensures all decisions contribute to realizing your vision effectively.
Who will be my primary point of contact during the construction project?
Your project will be managed by our experienced team. You will have a dedicated project manager as your primary point of contact for all needs. This manager will provide consistent weekly updates, oversee the site, and be responsible for all communication and scheduling throughout the project.
Can you perform a luxury addition that seamlessly blends with my existing home's architecture?
Our expertise includes creating additions that are indistinguishable from the original structure. We meticulously match roofing, exterior finishes, trim, and floor heights to ensure a cohesive and high-end result that seamlessly integrates with your existing home.
