What People Are Saying

Discover why families across Buffalo and neighboring areas trust Mōdish for their new construction builds.

We had the pleasure of working with Chris on our Lindal custom home. His knowledge on every aspect of home building was invaluable and his patience with us asking so many questions and sending countless emails was incredible. He always advised us candidly about the pros and cons of every decision and advocated for us like it was his own home. Our project is on hold for now but when we resume, Chris will be our first call.

Pete VonDerLinn

We worked with Chris on designs for a custom home and he was fantastic at going over all the options of the entire process. He was always very quick to answer all questions and was very knowledgeable on every aspect. Highly recommend!

Nick Hazlett

Chris is very helpful and knowledgeable. I reached out to him after my parents lost their home to a fire to start discussing a rebuild. He was quick and thorough in responses to questions. In the end my parents decided to go a different route for their house, but I have no doubt that he would remain helpful and readily accessible throughout the build process too!

Francis Nasca

We were looking to build a vacation home and Chris was very helpful initiating the process. This is our first time building a new home and Chris was very thorough in explaining the process from start to finish. He looked at our lot, guided us through the process and put together a proposal.

KT KT

I’ve been using Chris for design services for over 20 years. He’s trustworthy, always delivered on what he promised, and is always willing to go above and beyond. I hire him for all the difficult projects I need done.

Super friendly, helpful and responsive!

FAQs

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Buffalo, NY?

The cost of custom homes can vary based on the size of the house, the complexity of the design, site conditions, materials, and the level of finishes you choose. We work closely with our clients to create a home that matches both their vision and their budget.

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. During the early planning stage, our team will help you understand the costs tied to your specific project so you can move forward with realistic expectations.

Do you work with clients who already own land?

Yes. Many of our clients already own land in Buffalo or elsewhere in Western New York. If you already have property, we will evaluate the site and use it as the foundation for the design and building process.

We look at topography, access, views, sunlight, and how the land can best support your custom home. This helps us create a plan that fits your goals, your budget, and your long-term lifestyle.
