    FAQ's

    What makes Providence Homes different from other builders in Northwest Indiana?

    Providence Homes stands out because we let you customize your home – from the community and homesite to the floor plan and finishes. Unlike many builders in this price range, we don’t limit buyers to inventory homes. Every home we build is as unique as the family it’s designed for.

    Where are your communities located?

    Our communities are located throughout Lake and Porter Counties, including Crown Point, Winfield, Schererville, Merrillville, Lowell, and Portage. Many of our neighborhoods are conveniently near major expressways like I-65 and 80/94, providing easy access to Chicago, the South Shore, and local amenities.

    Can I tour a model home or see examples of your work?

    Yes! We have multiple model home locations, each showcasing different floor plans that are decorated and furnished to help you visualize your dream home. Touring our model homes allows you to experience the quality, design, and personalization options that set Providence Homes apart.

    What customization options are available?

    With Providence Homes, you can personalize almost every aspect of your home. Choose from a wide variety of floor plans, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, paint colors, and more. Our team will work with you to ensure every detail reflects your style and needs.

    Do you offer financing or incentives to help buyers?

    Yes! While we don’t provide financing directly, we work with trusted local lenders and offer competitive incentives to help you afford more home for your monthly mortgage payment. Promotions vary, so visit our sales centers to learn about the latest offers and how they can benefit you.

    What’s included in the base price of the home?

    The base price includes the home and a standard homesite, which varies by community. Optional upgrades and customizations are available to make your home uniquely yours. Our sales team will provide a detailed breakdown of what’s included in your specific community.

    Do you offer a warranty on your homes?

    Yes, all our homes come with a comprehensive warranty that includes a 1-year comprehensive coverage, 2-year mechanical systems coverage, and a 10-year structural warranty. We’re committed to quality and stand behind every home we build.

    What is the process for selecting my floor plan and options?

    After selecting your community and homesite, you’ll choose structural features (like layouts or extensions) at the time of contract. Then, you’ll visit our design center, where all the details – from finishes to colors – come together to create your perfect home.

    What if I need to sell my current home before moving?

    We understand selling your home while starting the building process can be challenging. That’s why we offer options to start building your home before your current one sells. See our sales staff for details about this program and how it can work for you.

    How do I know which community is right for me?

    Our sales team will help you explore each community to find the one that best fits your needs. Whether you’re looking for top-rated schools, proximity to major highways, or a quiet retreat, we have a neighborhood that’s perfect for you.

    What is the difference between inventory homes and building from the ground up?

    Inventory homes are pre-built with limited customization options, while building from the ground up allows you to choose your community, homesite, floor plan, and every detail of your home. At Providence Homes, we focus on giving you a customizable experience to create the home you’ve earned.

    Do you build on private lots?

    At this time, we specialize in building within our established communities. If you’re interested in learning more about our available homesites, our sales team is happy to assist.
