As a custom home builder, we must admit no two homes are alike, fixtures, and features, so we don’t exactly have a true list of “standard finishes.” However, there are some things that are fairly consistent among the homes we build, and this will give you a basic idea of the level of quality you might expect when building a home with My Next Home Reno. Here is a list to give you a general idea, but keep in mind that if you’re building a home with us, we’re happy to put in just about anything you can imagine.
