So excited to share our latest home build! 10 months ago this was a patch of thorns and dirt!
I'm absolutely in love with this wrap around porch!❤️ can't you just imagine yourself watching every sunrise, sunset, and rain storm on this covered porch!
Its always a fantastic feeling when we turn over keys and stand back to see what we've built, to imagine all the memories generations of families will create in what we've created with our hands.
This particular build was a personal design of mine that had 2 goals:
1) Create a generational home with the indoor & outdoor space a family thrives in, that will stand for great grandchildren to inherit.
2) Do it without creating debt for those generations to inherit.
And WE NAILED BOTH OF THOSE GOALS (all puns intended lol)
The numbers summary:
Heated sqft: 2,161
Unheated sqft 1,190
Total sqft under roof: 3,351
Total contract cost: $423,124.42
Price per Heated sqft: $195.80
Price per total sqft under roof: $126.27
3 bedroom/ 2 bath w/ 900sqft loft.
Even as I calculate these figures I'm shocked. In an era where 250/ sqft is the norm and 300's/ sqft is common, this home has everything you need and nothing you dont for a fraction of the cost!
Before you start thinking they must've cut quality somewhere to achieve this, think again. Here's a look at just some of the extras in this home that really put it over the top:
-full custom stick frame, no trusses here!
- crawlspace no slabs. Changes/ repairs to this home as this family grows is much easier on crawl space.
- full crawlspace waterproofing membrane
- 25 year fungicide coating in crawl w/ transferable warranty

To the special clients who trusted us with literally your family's foundation for generations to come, a Thank you doesn't seem enough so I hope that our work and craftsmanship will do instead. I could not ask for a better family to call clients.
In case you didnt know, my name is Nicholos, I'm the owner here at Tired Dad Construction llc. I'll never promise you that I can reinvent Construction in a way nobody has done before or that I'm the only Builder who could ever deliver a great product. Here are a few things I do promise every client I take on:
- Transparent pricing no surprise hidden costs or long contracts that bite you in the end
- start to finish its all me. No project managers, or site supervisors to middleman. From initial planning and talks to handing over keys you'll only ever talk to me. You get my direct line and never pawned off on a team member.
- your home is built with the same quality and approach as I would for my family. If its not good enough for my family, I won't build it for yours.
We aren't the cheapest or the fastest. But do you really want either in a builder?
