Building custom homes is not new to us. Our unique approach includes full-service, start-to-finish support. We provide you with all the tools and information you need to design a custom house.
For over 50 years, we’ve guided people through the process of buying land, and if you already own the land, then we help navigate the obstacles to building on it.
The flexibility and control you have by owning your land is also fun for us because our expertise is put to good use in helping you build your dream house.
Take the complexity out of designing. Plan your perfect home online first with our easy interactive tools. Over 50 of our floor plans are uploaded to our interactive system, where you can build a house plan customized the way you want.

From an Online Plan to a Custom-Built Dream Home: Our Process
Wayne Homes is with you every step of the way, from designing your floor plan in your pajamas to walking around your new home (in your pajamas). Because of our cutting-edge virtual 3D tours, you get a feel for what your home will be like, and our team is here to make it happen.
Initial Consultation: Connect with our custom home build experts for a free consultation. This is where we’ll get to know each other and discuss your ideas. Bring your customizable house plans that you saved from our online tool, and we’ll talk through any design adjustments that might be needed. We’ll conduct feasibility checks in order to build the project and develop a budget.
Planning and Budget: Wayne Homes believes in transparency so that you can make informed decisions. Our refined project plan will have details including timeline and costs, but will also include contingencies so that there are no surprises.
Permits and Codes: Our all-inclusive services navigate the messy world of building codes, permits, and local land laws. Our focus is on Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia since that’s where we’ve been building for over 50 years. Contact us for more information.
On-Site Construction and Building: Our team ensures an efficient and timely build, so we provide on-site management during the construction phase. If any issues arise, you’ll be notified. Generally speaking, we keep you informed of all progress, and of course, you can always reach out to our team for updates.
Move-in and Follow Up: Even though you started with building a house online, we know that the build doesn’t stop when you move in. Wayne Homes will inform you of all warranty information and keep in touch. Our core values are not just craftsmanship and quality, but also customer satisfaction.
Our reputation for being trustworthy stems from our transparency. Learn more about our building process.

“Being this is the third home I’ve built, first with Wayne, the process and experience is unmatched. The ability to customize anything you want is refreshing and really allowed for us to bring our vision to reality for our forever home. From the initial signing to closing, everyone on our build team was friendly, informative and overall kept us reassured that Wayne was the right choice. Our field manager is probably one of the best in the business. He kept us up to date multiple times a week and answered our questions no matter the time or day. He is continuing to check in and follow up with us to make sure we are satisfied even after closing.”
– Bryan Widman, Sandusky
“We have worked with Jeremy to design our custom home and he has made the process an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to build.”

FAQs
How long does it take to build a custom home?
This varies by state, by build, and by lot. Clearing and excavating the land prior to beginning the build affects the timeline. Wayne Homes has been in this business for over 50 years, so rest assured that the timeline we build for you will give you a clear idea. We’ll also clearly communicate anything that might affect the timeline so that you are prepared.
Do I need to already own land?
You don’t have to own land already. At Wayne Homes, we will show you what’s available and help analyze the terrain, flora, soil, and environmental factors affecting your design.
What permits do I need to acquire to build a custom home?
There are building permits needed before you can start building. When you work with Wayne Homes, we help navigate this process with you.
I tried to build my floor plan, but I’m having trouble.
If you had any issues when you went to build your custom home online, click the button on the lower right-hand corner to talk to Julie, or simply give us a call. We are here to make your experience easy and designed the tech to be user-friendly.
I want to buy out of state. Do I need to learn about local zoning regulations?
Not when you work with Wayne Homes. As long as you’re choosing one of our four domains: OH, PA, MI, or WV, we are experts with local zoning, permitting, and any other building requirements specific to those states.
How much does it cost?
Many factors affect the cost, but after we sit down with you during a free consultation, we’ll draw up a bid. We believe in full transparency, so contingencies are detailed, and areas you can move (budget-wise) will be included.
How involved can I be in choosing building materials, appliances, etc.?As much as you want. We are very flexible and recognize that some people want to be more involved in the process, whereas others are more hands-off — your choice. Start with our tool and create free floor plans today.
