As a custom home builder, one of the most common questions we receive from potential customers is, “What is the difference between a stick-built home and other types of homes?” This distinction is crucial, as you look into building the home of your dreams. At Adair Homes, we’re proud to be traditional stick builders, and we want to share what that means for you.
A stick-built home, also known as a traditional or site-built home, is constructed on-site using standard lumber and framing techniques. The term “stick-built” comes from the process of assembling the home board by board, or “stick by stick,” starting from the foundation and building upward. This method is the most common and recognizable way to build a home, allowing for a high degree of customization and personalization. At Adair Homes, we source our materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring quality and durability in every build.
In contrast, modular homes are built in a factory and then transported to the site for assembly. While this method can be efficient, it often limits customization options. Modular homes are constructed in sections, which are then pieced together on a permanent foundation. Although they must meet local building codes, the factory setting can restrict the design flexibility that stick-built homes offer. Additionally, manufactured homes, which are also built in factories, are constructed on a metal chassis and are often considered personal property rather than real estate.
When considering your custom home, it’s essential to understand the implications of each building method. Stick-built homes provide endless customization possibilities, allowing you to create a space that truly reflects your lifestyle. At Adair Homes, we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to your vision, whether that means oversized windows, unique layouts, or energy-efficient features. While modular homes may be quicker to build, stick-built homes typically appreciate more over time, making them a wise investment for the future.

LVT is an excellent choice for wet areas such as bathrooms and mudrooms, as it is easy to clean, waterproof, and incredibly durable, making it ideal for busy households. For the main living areas, we provide laminate flooring, which is not only durable and resistant to wear but also stands up well to exposure to light, ensuring that your floors maintain their beauty over time. This combination of flooring options allows you to enjoy both functionality and aesthetic appeal throughout your home, creating a welcoming environment that meets the demands of everyday life.
