Custom Homes
Ground-up custom home construction for Orange County families who want it built right the first time.
Building a custom home is the largest project most families ever take on. Carrieri Construction builds ground-up custom homes in Dana Point and across south Orange County. One accountable, family-owned team carries the build from planning and permits through framing, finishes, and the final walkthrough.
What we handle as your custom home builder
- Pre-construction planning with you and your architect or designer, so the plans match your budget before ground breaks
- Permits and inspections coordinated with the city to keep the schedule moving
- Site work, foundation, and framing built to plan and to code
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installed and inspected
- Finish work with the detail a custom home deserves: cabinetry, tile, flooring, trim, and paint
- A final walkthrough where we stand behind every element of the build

Questions
Custom Homes — common questions
What does the custom home process look like with you?
One team, one contract, start to finish. We handle planning and permits, then the build itself — foundation, framing, systems, finishes — and walk the finished home with you at the end. You deal with us directly the whole way, not a hand-off chain.
We already have plans from an architect. Can you build from them?
Yes. Bring us your drawings and we'll quote from them, line by line. If we spot something in the plans that's going to cause trouble in the field, we flag it before it costs you money — not after.
How much do you ask for up front?
California law caps a contractor's down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, and we follow it. The rest is paid in progress payments spelled out in your contract, tied to work actually completed. Anyone asking for half up front is breaking the law — walk away.
