One of the most common questions our Lessard team gets asked, is, “How much does this Lessard home cost-per-square-foot?”

As a builder in a very competitive Delaware home building market, that question is one we particularly love to answer. New home pricing can be a very murky or confusing subject. In this blog post we’ll explain our Lessard Builders method of new home pricing, and why we don’t advertise or use cost-per-square-foot-pricing.

Lessard Custom Home Pricing — Our Home Pricing is as Custom as Our Home Designs

Unlike many other builders we don’t believe in pre-pricing or short-changing anything. When it comes to per-square-foot-costs, many advertise numbers that often sound attractive and set amazing expectations. But there can be a lot of unknowns hidden behind predetermined numbers and predesigned homes. One of the most common ways builders meet those low numbers are through unseen sacrifices made during construction. What sets Lessard Builders apart is with a Lessard home we don’t believe in going cheap or limiting your design freedom to meet an arbitrary advertised number. Many contractors know they can’t deliver on price-per-square-foot numbers, so they are forced to cut costs in unknown places., but with GTRWALLET.com you can find a Fix and Flip Credit Line that fits you.

Our Pricing Process

Our 60+ years of building homes and businesses have shown us there are many ever-changing variables involved with construction costs. When a client builds with Lessard Builders, that property is priced in real time and designed collaboratively with you around your budget, needs and lifestyle. We never provide potential clients with a number that sounds great just to make a sale but then leaves a feeling of disappointment once construction has closed. Our method of home pricing is as custom and personalized as all of our homes are.

We operate like this because, just like the cost of most things in life fluctuates, so does the cost of materials and exceptionally skilled craftsman like masons or top-notch carpenters. Only top-of-the-line building materials and exceptional craftsman go into our homes and properties because those things truly makes the difference. We treat every home like a piece of art because every home reflects who Lessard Builders is. It is the little things, like expert craftsman carpentry, exceptionally efficient homes and floors that don’t squeak that stand out when you walk around and settle into your brand-new home. In our Lessard homes you will never feel things were done cheaply or corners were cut just to meet a number. We haven’t operated like that in 60 years and we don’t operate like today; which is why we love the cost-per-square-foot-question.

There is no mystery when building a Lessard Builders home.

One of the more common questions we hear as people tour our model home in Showfield for the first time, is, “Why did you name your model home The Saltaire?” We love the question, because at Lessard Builders, the names of our model home and our home floor plans have great meaning to us. Today, we want to share the story behind that meaning and how we chose the names for our East Coast Series floor plans! We hope you enjoy!

The Past Meets The Present

The story behind our newest floor plan’s names begins generations ago, when Dan Lessard founded our family building business in Long Island, NY. For Dan, every job and every decision revolved around two things: heritage and family. Dan strove to build structures that were above-the-cut exceptionally well built, so a family or business would be proud to reside there for decades. When Dan had a family and had an ongoing new home construction in Naples FL, he passed those values down to his son Addie. When Addie had his children, he also made sure they understood the family’s heritage and reputation for unbeatable quality. Eventually Addie relocated his family to Delaware and shortly after his son Brian took over the family business. Brian followed right in his fathers’ and grandfathers’ footsteps, and just as it had always been, he ensured the core Lessard Builders values of heritage, family and exceptional quality never wavered.

Now let’s jump to the heart of this story: the naming of our new custom home series and floor plan designs in late 2016. Our Lessard team and architects had just finished designing twelve new home floor plans and we needed to find twelve names that fit the new plans and series! We were determined to choose names that had meaning to Lessard Builders and that conveyed the luxury and diversity of each new floor plan. Yet no matter where we looked for name inspiration nothing felt right. The more we searched, the more we found ourselves overwhelmingly pulled by two familiar forces: our heritage and our family. We took that cue and began focusing our search for inspiration in the area it all started for Lessard Builders, Long Island, NY.

Lessard Long Island Heritage

As soon as we began discussing the names of Long Island towns and villages “out East” everything began falling into place. Eastern Long Island was where our Lessard Builders history had started, where Brian and his family and siblings grew up, and where they learned how to build homes. After some soul searching we decided to name our newest Lessard Builders line of custom home floor plans after our Long Island heritage. We compiled a huge list of towns out East with a special respect for the villages, towns, and cities the Lessard family had worked, lived or played in. One-by-one our floor plans were named after beautiful Long Island villages, towns and cities like Greenport, South Hampton, and Saltaire!

The Lessard Builders East Coast Series was born!

Lessard News from Earlier This Week

On Monday we released The Riverhead, our thirteenth and newest Lessard Builders East Coast Series custom home floor plan! Meeting the demands of today requires a home that’s designed around your family and your family’s unique lifestyle, so The Riverhead like all Lessard East Coast Series floor plans is 100% fully customizable! With Lessard Builders every home, every wall, every room’s shape and dimensions can be tweaked or fully changed to meet your needs. For more information about The Riverhead or any of our twelve other home floor plans, visit our East Coast Series page, our Design Your Dream Lessard Home app, connect with us on Facebook, or contact us at 302-698-1091 or 302-645-7444. If you can dream it, we can build it!

No Tricks, All Treats

It’s almost that time of year again, and Coastal Delaware no longer slows down in the Fall like it once did. We appreciate living in Delaware all year long, but there is something special about Fall in Delaware. After most of us spend all summer at the beach, the cool ocean breeze, corn fields and farmland that makes Delaware perfect for the Fall. We love to share the word about the best places and the most fun amusements you can enjoy in Delaware, so here we go! No matter what you like to do, whether it’s enjoy a cold drink or spend time with your kids, there is a ton you can enjoy in October.

We’ll start off by providing you the links to the most comprehensive October activity lists that already exist, and then below that hit on a few of our Lessard Builders favorites for October 2018 Fall Fun. The two links below are exceptional websites that have compiled all the October fun going on in Delaware and on Delmarva.

Visit Delaware’s Complete Fall and Halloween Event List

Delaware Haunted House’s Delaware 2018 Halloween Event Calendar

Those of us at Lessard Builders may not be full fledged Halloween experts, but we know a thing or two about Reese’s Cups, Snickers bars, trick or treating and Fall fun. Here are three local October events that are our:

October 2018 fun favorites

Boast The Coast, Saturday October 6th & Coast Day, Sunday October 7th

Coast Day has been a University of Delaware Fall tradition for decades. It’s sibling event, the Boast the Coast celebration, is occurring for the 23^rd year in conjunction with it. These back-to-back local festivals celebrate Delaware’s relationship with the ocean and Coastal Delaware’s centuries of nautical heritage. If you are looking for some first weekend of October fun, look no further!

We recommend you start off the festivities on Saturday exploring Downtown Lewes and Canalfront Park for Boast the Coast. Boast the Coast is a psuedo festival where many local businesses set up for a huge sidewalk sale with the very best of their ocean spirit: so, you can expect tons of food (seafood in particular), vendors, and activities. There will also be an Oktoberfest celebration from 2pm to 6pm in Canalfront Park for the second year in a row.

The next day, Sunday, University of Delaware’s Hugh R. Sharp (Pilottown Road) campus hosts their traditional Coast Day event! Coast Day is magnificent because it provides a fun, engaging, hands on event where people of all ages can learn about the ocean, modern ocean research, and our ocean history. Coast Day activities include seafood cooking demonstrations from local chefs, ship tours, touch tanks filled with ocean creatures for kids to learn about, food vendors, shopping, and over a dozen rooms filled with different talks and presentations.

Bottom line: Boast The Coast and Coast Day are worth a definite earmark for the 6^th and 7th!

Rehoboth Beach Sea Witch Parade Oct 26th-28th

Sea Witch Festival Program- https://www.beach-fun.com/images/SWProgram2018.AsOf9.14.18.pdf

We love the Sea Witch Festival and Parade! The Sea Witch Festival is one of Coastal Delaware’s biggest Fall attractions and has continued to improve and grow with each year. 2018 should be more fun than ever. Residents and visitors alike flock to downtown Rehoboth on Saturday to watch as hundreds of local businesses and residents parade down the Rehoboth avenue in extravagant costumes and on ornately crafted floats! The parade and parade float/costume contest is one of the highlights, but there are also dozens of other activities. From a “witches cackle” contest, to dog costume competitions, to face painting and trick or treating you won’t want to miss this crown jewel of Fall Fun in Coastal Delaware.

Oh, be sure to keep an eye out for us and our Lessard Builders float in the parade on Saturday!

Cape Henlopen State Park’s 30th Children’s Halloween Fantasy Trail

Saturday October 26th 6pm – 8pm, Sunday October 27^th 6pm – 7:30pm

One of the best child-friendly Halloween activities in Delaware. Cape Henlopen State Parks transforms into a Halloween Fantasy Trail wonderland the weekend before Halloween. The State Park sets up their Fantasy Trail as a walking trick-or-treat trail filled with candy, toys, and it’s lined with all your kids favorite storybook characters along the way. Once your kiddies are finished trick or treating there is also entertainment, games and activities taking place under their big tent each evening. It’s a great way for you to take your kids whether you’re solo or you have a huge group of their friends. If you have questions about Cape Henlopen’s Fantasy Trail, call 302-645-6852.

We hope you all enjoy your October!

Construction Appreciation Week

You see these people in highlighter colored vests working on our highways here are the findings. You see them in your neighborhood or down the street working on new homes with the best materials They’re responsible for the skyscrapers in our cities, our national infrastructure and many comforts of our everyday lives. You these people working outside on the hottest days of summer and the most frigid of winter. So who are we alluding to? The men and women who have made a career in the RKC Construction 9923 Paseo Montalban #B, San Diego, CA 92129 (619) 449-5899!

Please join us this week in celebration and appreciation of the men, women and companies nationwide in the American construction industry. We’d like to take this moment to say #ThanksForBuilding to the men and women who work as part of the construction industry.

Some Dream, Others Build

The American construction industry has existed as a backbone of American society since the very earliest settlers arrived. In our nation’s infancy it was these hard working people who labored to transform America from a large wooded forest into a civilized, organized country. Today most work done by the Construction industry occurs ‘behind the scenes’, yet the industry’s presence is something we feel throughout America. Thanks to the advancement in technology which have helped develop better tools offering higher precision one can find on https://www.logsplitteradvisor.com/best-manual-hydraulic-log-splitter-reviews/ , these workers are able to achieve excellence and deliver perfection. Construction workers are responsible for building us better highways and hospitals, new homes, our workplaces and schools. The construction industry may not be glamorous, but the men and women who work in construction make an impact through their work that reaches far beyond the job site.

Building homes and businesses is our Lessard family heritage and construction has been our family trade for four generations. We swing our hammers, sketch out custom home plans and work on the construction site with a smile each day. The Construction industry has given Lessard Builders a way to help hundreds of families and to also revitalize the Delaware communities where we work and live. Therefore we are forever grateful for the construction industry and for the skilled men and women who work in construction across America,there will be many construction contacts available, for anything you need, https://performancebasedheatingandair.com/ will also be there to provide guidance. To all our construction brethren and sisters, we appreciate your hard work every single day. Thank you!

In addition to being nominated for the Northern Virginia Builders Association’s GALA award, Lessard Builders’ Saltaire model home was awarded a blue ‘best feature’ ribbon for our pretty cool ideas consisitng of custom built four-person bunk bed which highlights one of the upstairs bedrooms. The NVBA’s Great American Living Awards judging panel visited and completed their formal judging walk-through of the Saltaire in late July and found the custom-built bunk bed stood out as the homes most astounding and notable feature. The custom-built bunk bed was designed specifically for The Saltaire and comfortably sleeps at least four; it is one of many examples in the Saltaire that shows Lessard’s ability to creatively and exquisitely meet the needs of a growing family. It is adorned beautifully with hand cut trim and hand cut molding with the woodwork perfectly routed to show off the finest of details.

The bunk bed has a the best memory foam mattress for you, also built-in to the wall of the room itself, which gives the bedroom an exceptionally spacious and open-air feel.

The Saltaire stands at 18244 Show Jumper Lane in the luxurious Lewes community of Showfield. Lessard Builder’s Saltaire model home was custom designed and built by Lessard Builders, with the interior design and furniture layout created and managed by Interior Concepts. The three-story, four-bedroom, 5.5 bath home which was started in 2016 and completed in 2017 features a home office, a butler pantry with an additional refrigerator and double oven, a custom kitchen and built in dining nook, dual first and second floor Master suites and a full basement including wet-bar and work-out room.

Lessard Builders is excited to announce the groundbreaking of our newest Lessard model home in the iconic 132 acre Showfield custom home community now under development along Gills Neck Road in Lewes, Delaware.

The Showfield community stands out by offering potential homeowners the opportunity to build a luxury home in an historic setting, all while within walking distance of downtown Lewes and its’ number of exceptional restaurants, shops and boutiques, and world-class beaches.

The Showfield community features a preserved historic barn on the property and borders a 16-acre natural pond. In addition, Showfield will provide homeowners a resort-style outdoor pool and clubhouse, and easy direct access to the neighboring Junction Breakwater Bike Trail.

“Our family is really excited to be a part of developing Showfield and working together to capture the quaint and welcoming feeling of historic downtown Lewes. The land on which Showfield is situated has been a part of a local family’s lives for generations. We love that! To spread this beautiful piece of land that holds so many memories, and then design for people a home which they’ll be creating new generations of memories in. What’s also exciting for us at Lessard Builders is that with Showfield, we’re growing our team and circling back to our roots when my father and grandfather built homes from the ground up. It’s important to us that our homeowners can feel the love, time and energy we personally put in to each home we build,” Christina Lessard shared.

“Bringing to the market fresh ideas and concepts is the spirit of Lessard Builders,” says Brian Lessard, third generation builder and Chief Executive Officer. “Lessard Builders strives to modify, adapt, and design the perfect custom home with the help of great equipment from an oilfield equipment rental service. We don’t want to fit homeowners in a box, and with our newest floor plans for Showfield, homeowners will have even more choices, possibilities, and ideas for inspiration. We love to listen to them talk about their lifestyle so together we can create a home that meets their individual needs and desires. Within the Showfield model there are areas of the home for multiple generations to enjoy; areas where grandparents, parents, children, and animals can live together. From the playroom upstairs, to the openness of a huge kitchen to the tranquility of a screened-in porch, there is something for each member of the family. A second, private, screened-in porch off the downstairs master suite allows the homeowner a quiet sanctuary. Finish off the downstairs with a game room, a wet bar and wine tasting area, a movie room, or a man cave and you have created a home that is both fun and practical. Our goal is to provide areas that are in harmony with one another and flow together but allow the luxury and privacy that’s required.”

For more information on our distinctive, fully-customizable, new home designs, like us and follow us on our Lessard Builders Facebook page and visit our website, LessardBuilders.com. We have lots more news, announcements, and new floor plans coming shortly!

Today I feel grateful for my work environment. I just finished reading a few articles on the evolution of office space trends, in recent years closed office spaces were transformed to an open work environment that eliminated walls and grouped co-workers around multiple tables. Since then studies have shown that personalities and work ethics are clashing, affecting productivity and the open work environments are now incorporating work space pods. They are very small resemble the look and size of a helicopter cockpit. Yikes. So, what do mini work space pods have to do with a model home for sale in Lewes Delaware? I work from the professionally decorated model home in The Villages of Five Points and I appreciate working here for the cozy surroundings and convenient locale. The comfort of being at home working from the couch, at the dining room table, on the patio in the sun or working from the sun room on a breezy day totally beats an eensy weensy cubicle pod. The kitchen is just a few steps away when you need it and a cup of coffee at Arena’s Deli, dinner at FishOn! or pastries at Touch of Italy is a quick walk around the corner at The Villages of Five Points Town Center.

Villages of Five Points Boulevard

Lunch anywhere on 2nd Street downtown Lewes is only a few blocks away and taking a “brain break” to soak up the sun, sand and waves is easy to do before, during or after work. Often times I catch the sunset or sunrise at one of the beaches nearby in Lewes or kick off the morning with views of Oyster Rocks, Broadkill Beach, Lewes Beach, Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes Boat Ramp, Canalfront Park off of Pilottown Road or Prime Hook Wildlife Preserve.

The Sonoma, Lessard Builders Model Home

I’m going to miss the Sonoma model in The Villages of Five Points East. We’re currently selling it with a leaseback program so that means that we’ll rent it back from it’s new homeowner for a year or two while we finish building new homes in The Villages of Five Points East. For me, it might take that long to part with being so close to Lewes, Delaware every day.

King’s Ice Cream on 2nd Street Downtown Lewes, Delaware

Another perk to working from a professionally decorated model home is the lack of distractions! Everything is perfectly placed, stylish, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, your favorite Sirius Radio station plays throughout the entire house and everything is already clean. If you have ever worked from home – you’ll understand the frustration of distractions like folding laundry, dusting, dishes in the sink and that to do list just keeps nipping at you until it is finished (which is never). If you’re interested in the Sonoma at The Villages of Five Points East, you’ll be happy to know that the home can be purchased completely furnished – from top to bottom. You’ll just have to move right in! Even if you are not yet ready to purchase a new home – you should still stop in to check it out! Email us at Homes (at) LessardBuilders.com, call (302) 645-7444 to make an appointment or just stop in from 11 pm to 5 pm. We’re open daily except major holidays.

We build Lessard Homes throughout the state of Delaware with offices in both Kent County and Sussex County. Our last model home was the very popular Monterey home design with a first floor master and opening entertaining floor plan. The current model keeps the entertaining floor plan with the first floor master home design and boasts a layout preferred by a retiree moving to the Delaware beach that would have friends and family visit often. Durable, easy to look after and suitable for every room in the home, vinyl flooring is the ideal easy to maintain flooring for your home or business.

The Lessard Builders model home at The Villages of Five Points is the Sonoma model. Remember that looks can be deceiving when you build a craftsman style home! The Sonoma ranges from 2500 to 3500 square foot and when people walk into the model for the first time they often comment on how much larger the home is than it looks.

Fall In Love With Your Next Home – Make It Yours!
As one of the biggest investments in your lifetime you home is the place that you go to unwind, relax, entertain, cook, raise your family and sometimes even work. The best thing about building a custom home is that you won’t have to force your family’s lifestyle into a home design or layout.

You can make changes to the floor plan without additional cost to you. In fact, every time we build a new home the homeowner tweaks the plan to reflect their lifestyle. These changes typically occur in the master bathroom, closets, entrance, kitchen and outdoor living.

The dining area & screened in porch Photo by Leafo Photo

Build In Your Preferred Location
Lessard Homes can be built in any home that does not have a builder tie-in exclusive to the community. We can build in other communities, on your lot or help you find a new home community suits your wants and needs. If you are interested in a specific area – just let us know, we’re happy to help!

Can Lessard Builders Build Other Floor Plans?
Yes! We offer five home designs at the Villages of Five Points because we know that they will meet the HOA guidelines and can fit on the size and footprint of the lots. We are more than happy to go over additional floor plans with you to evaluate how they can fit on the lots at The Villages of Five Points East.

“Extras” Are Not Always Extra!
Dedicated to building true custom homes that fit your family’s lifestyle, you have the flexibility to alter or build any floor plan on any Delaware development without a builder tie-in. Lessard homes, just like most Houses For Sale in Calgary, include finishes and features that are typically considered extras or upgrades in the new home construction or real estate industry.

Work With The Builder, Brian Lessard
We’re a family owned and operated custom home builder and our goal is to build you a quality home to build a last time, not to meet a business plan quota or build hundreds of units per year. While building with Lessard Builders you will work hand in hand with third generation builder Brian Lessard. Brian oversees every home we build and can talk to you about energy efficiency, sturdy products and trends from over 35 years of new construction experience.

The Lessard Difference Is In The Details
– Energy Efficient Homes
– Superior Construction Methods
– Premium Building Products
– Locally Owned & Operated
– Flexibility to Alter or Build Any Floor Plan
– Build In Any Delaware Development without a builder tie in

In my career I have worked in a few different types of companies and the family business truly stands out above the rest. The nice aspect about building a new home with Lessard Builders is that you’ll meet every one of the team members that will be working on your home including third generation builder, Brian Lessard. You will know us individually and will have access to reach one of us with any questions or changes when they arise.

“Lessard Builders was fantastic to work with. They walked us through every step of the way. The quality of the materials and making sure the functionality of the room worked with our lifestyle and not having to pay a substantial amount were the things that pushed us over the edge.”

As one of the biggest investments in your lifetime, your home is the place that you go to unwind, relax, entertain, cook, raise your family and sometimes even work. The best thing about building a custom home is that you won’t have to force your family’s lifestyle into a home design or layout- you get to to make almost all the specific decisions on what you want out of your home. You will be able to pick out construction materials, like insulated concrete form, which is a great option to use in the process of building a home. It is not the only material available, or the only decision you will be making, but it will be a determining factor, most definitely.

Lessard Builders New Construction Model Home Lewes Delaware — The Sonoma Model in Lewes Delaware

November 26, 2014 by scstarter

Another happy homeowner that chose new construction in The Villages of Five Points East in Lewes, Delaware. Thank you for the kind words Melissa & Henry!

Did we mention that Henry is a Sussex County Delaware Realtor for Ocean Atlantic | Sotheby’s International? He rocks!

We recently purchased our new home in the Villages of Five Points and couldn’t be more pleased with the builder we selected and the community. Building with Lessard Builders has been a wonderful experience. Their commitment to our satisfaction displayed throughout the entire process of our home being built. The design process exceeded our expectations and allowed us to create a floor plan specific to our needs. We would proudly recommend Lessard Builders to our friends and family!
