Why Creative Homes Aren't Cheap

Why Creative Homes Aren’t Cheap—and Why They’re Worth Every Penny

Building a home is a significant investment, and with Creative Homes, that investment means more than just a place to live. It means a personalized experience, exceptional quality, and a fun and engaging experience. Unlike other builders who may cut corners or rely on cookie-cutter designs, Creative Homes believes your home should be unique, enduring, and crafted with care. Here’s why we prioritize quality over cutting costs and why a Creative Home is worth every penny.

Customer Experience: Our team passionately creates and delivers an unmatched customer experience before, during, and after the construction of your brand-new home.

The journey of building your home should be enjoyable, engaging, and stress-free. At Creative Homes, we’ve built our reputation on delivering an exceptional customer experience. From the moment you choose to work with us, our team is here to guide you through every decision, answer every question, and make sure you’re comfortable and informed every step of the way. Our weekly "power hour" calls with your builder keep you in the loop and gives you the chance to ask any questions about the construction of your home.

Unlike builders who disappear after handing over the keys, Creative Homes’ dedicated warranty team is there for you, even after move-in. Imagine a scenario where your A/C stops working on a hot day. Instead of navigating the maze of a third-party warranty provider, you have access to our warranty team, who actually care about you. We stand by our homes and our homeowners, committed to a seamless experience and quick, personal service whenever you need it.

As a local, private homebuilder, you can feel confident knowing you’re working with a team of people that genuinely cares about your home. We are committed to building high-quality homes that are made to last, with homeowners who truly love where they live. Our homeowner survey results reflect this commitment, with an impressive 94.4% willingness-to-refer rate—far exceeding industry standards!

Personalization: Through unrivaled plan options and a market-leading design studio experience.

Our personalization sets us apart from other builders! We have the perfect balance between a fully custom and limited packages. Many builders offer only a few pre-selected options, resulting in neighborhoods where homes look nearly identical. But Creative Homes values individuality. Our design team offers a vast array of floor plans, finishes, and design options so you can personalize every inch of your space to reflect your lifestyle and preferences. Working with our talented Design Studio Specialists, you’ll explore an extensive selection of materials, fixtures, and layouts at our state-of-the-art Design Studio. We’ll walk you through everything—from the floors to the fixtures to the finishes—ensuring that every detail of your home is just the way you want it. Our goal is to provide a home that feels uniquely yours!

Creative Homes’ floor plans are carefully designed to maximize every square inch, ensuring that your home is as functional as it is beautiful. Each layout is crafted with how people truly live. Our team continuously innovates floor plans to offer more natural light, optimized flow, and functional gathering spaces. The difference between a Creative Home and a standard, pre-owned home is apparent from the moment you step through the door: more light, more space, and a thoughtful layout that enhances everyday living.

Quality Process: By use of systems, processes, and great people we consistently deliver a better built, brand-new home.

At Creative Homes, we’re committed to quality that stands the test of time. Our construction process goes far beyond what’s required to meet standard building codes. We work with expert architects and engineers who specialize in research-backed construction techniques, and we use only top-grade materials and valued trade partners. Every step of your build is rigorously inspected to ensure that your home isn’t just beautiful but built to last. Our National Housing Quality Award is a testament to this! We are one of the only builders in Minnesota to ever receive this honor.

Our valued trade partners play a crucial role in building our high-quality, long-lasting homes. We work closely with them to ensure that every aspect of the construction meets the highest standards—and that our trades feel respected and valued in their work with us. Several times a year, we host a Trade Council meeting where we connect with our partners, address any needs, and provide support. When our trade partners feel heard and appreciated, we believe that this commitment shines through in the exceptional quality of every home we build.

Communities that foster connection beyond the homes we build!

Creative Homes also prioritizes the creation of vibrant, connected communities. We design neighborhoods with intentional amenities—think playgrounds within walking distance, scenic trails, and more. When you drive through a Creative Homes community, you’ll see families walking together, kids playing, and neighbors becoming friends. A Creative neighborhood isn’t just a collection of homes; it’s a thriving, welcoming community.

With Creative Homes, you’re investing in more than a structure; you’re investing in a lifestyle, a community, and a home built to endure. From the tailored design process to our high-quality construction standards, every aspect of our work is focused on delivering a home that exceeds expectations. We believe that an unmatched customer experience, personalization and a quality process are worth more than simply cutting costs—and that commitment is evident in every home we build.

This is the second home we have built and after the horrible experience we had the first time, I said we would never do it again. Thankfully, our experience with Creative Homes was the exact opposite. We have had a wonderful experience with the quality and detail of the home and everyone we have met from Creative Homes.

Wow! It's hard to know where to even start and I know I won't be able to list everything, but I have to try and tell you how we awesome we feel about the whole building process with Creative Homes and how much we truly love our new home. The process of building with Creative Homes was the most relaxing (sounds weird, but so true!) home building experience we have ever been through. The communication provided from the very start until the very end has been phenomenal. Not once during the whole process did we ever sit and wonder what was going on regarding our home.  I honestly wish I could name everyone behind the scenes at Creative Homes who works so hard to make customers like us have such an awesome home building experience. This company has the standards and employees that all companies should take note of and follow the example of.
