Mōdish Custom Homes, LLC is an independent Lindal Homes representative and one of the leading custom home builders in Buffalo, NY. We serve all of Western New York, including Rochester, the Finger Lakes, Chautauqua, and Ellicottville, as well as the State of Florida. We’re here to help you design and build a custom Lindal home that reflects your needs, taste, and lifestyle.
After we determine your needs and options, you may choose to modify one of our existing floor plans or start your design from scratch. Whichever path you choose, we’ll work closely with you to develop a design for the perfect custom home, in line with your budget and the characteristics of your property.
We strive to make the building process stress-free and collaborative, so you feel confident every step of the way.
During this 30-minute consultation, you’ll speak directly with luxury home designer, Christopher Lorenzo. He’ll answer all your questions regarding designing and building your custom home. We’ll determine if a Lindal home is the right option for you and, if so, develop a plan for moving forward. You’ll also learn:
Before starting your project, we strongly encourage you to use this guide to ensure you’re properly prepared to move forward. You’ll gain insights into thoughtfully defining your project objectives and selecting the right team for your new home.
After progressing through each section, you’ll find yourself ready to formally begin the planning phase with the optimal team of professionals in place. And that’s why we’ve created this project planning workbook.
When planning a custom home, choosing the right construction method is essential, as it influences both the look and longevity of the build.
Our System Built approach emphasizes open floor plans, exposed timbers, and a distinctive architectural style that showcases natural materials. It’s also designed to support a more energy-efficient home. In contrast, conventional construction focuses on cost-efficiency, sometimes at the expense of aesthetics and durability.
This guide compares these two approaches, highlighting differences in structure, aesthetics, cost, and design flexibility to help you decide which construction method aligns best with your vision, family, and lifestyle needs.

The cost of our homes can vary significantly based on a number of factors, including the location and topography of the building site, the size and complexity of the design, the level of finishes, and any custom features you choose. We work closely with each client to design a home that aligns with both their vision and budget.
During our initial conversations, we’ll guide you through what to expect based on your specific goals and site conditions.
As a general reference, the finished cost of our homes—excluding land and other soft costs—typically ranges from $450 to $750 per square foot. This includes, design, drafting, engineering, transport of materials to the site, and our industry exclusive Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Yes, we regularly work with clients who already own land. In fact, designing a custom home that responds to the unique features of your property—such as topography, views, orientation, and access—is one of the most important parts of the process. If you already have a site, we’ll start by evaluating it together to ensure the design takes full advantage of its potential while aligning with your goals and budget.
We serve clients throughout Western New York, including Buffalo, Rochester, Chautauqua, and the Finger Lakes region. In addition to our local projects, we also build nationally. If you have property in another state—such as a vacation home or future getaway—we can help you design and build there as well.
Our homes are highly customizable. You can start with an existing Lindal floor plan and personalize it with changes to layout, materials, and finishes. For more flexibility, our Sketch Service helps you modify or create a new design based on your ideas and budget. For a fully custom experience, our design team offers a collaborative process to create a one-of-a-kind home tailored specifically to your site, style, and needs.
