New Home Construction

September 12, 2019 by scstarter

Last week was an exciting week of real estate conversations at Lessard Builders. Delaware home buyers, we come to you today with exciting news for everyone looking for Delaware property and ready to build your dream home in Sussex County. If you are one of these who wants their new home to be built as soon as possible, then Visit Essex Homes, just make sure that you are using the proper materials, like this tarpaulin material.

Lessard Builders and local design firm Zando Designs have linked arms and Lessard Builders has been granted the exclusive opportunity to market their two gorgeous lots in the charming, quaint town of Milton. Have you been searching for the perfect lot to purchase and build your dream home on? Look no further!

Preserve lots from northwest entrance on Chandler Road

These two lots are exquisitely beautiful and brimming with potential, and what makes them even more exciting is their location! These properties are just a half mile away from the medical practices, banks, restaurants and Library located in downtown Milton. You are only a short drive to all the Delaware beaches, and if there is ever an emergency Milton is located halfway between Bayhealth’s brand-new-Milford-hospital and Beebe Medical Center in Lewes.

Lots from northeast side along Chandler Road

The properties are located within Preserve on the Broadkill’s Phase One Park Central neighborhood, 70′ x 135′ each, adjoining, and uniquely located on their own street ‘island’! We love that part! These beautiful lots have front and side street access via Chandler Road plus bonus access from a rear-fed alley which is directly behind the property. The lots are ready for any type of house project; even if it includes drilling and blasting the land for basement purposes. Not only is access to these new lots a breeze, there is an aura about the community that is truly unique. The Preserve on the Broadkill Park Central neighborhood evokes a woodsy, park like feel with sidewalks and old-fashioned streetlights throughout and acres of Preserved Woodlands on the Broadkill River surrounding it. For information regarding the Preserve on the Broadkill Phase One community, covenants and benefits you can visit their website at Preserve on the Broadkill Phase One.

If you are ready to see one of these beautiful lots and discover the ultimate location for your dream home, there are only two of these lots remaining so call us today! You can contact us at 302-698-1091. We can build your plan, fully custom design you a home from scratch, or you can check out our thirteen amazing floors from Total Floor Care 1168 W Main St, Lewisville, TX 75067 (972) 374-7774 or to make it more easier for you browse around this site so you can see the entire catalog.Preserve on the Broadkill lot photo 1

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!

Question & Answer interview with Delaware new home builder, Brian Lessard. Questions originally appeared in the Dover Post, Milestones In Business community newspaper.

 

Q: How did the Lessard family become introduced to the real estate and construction industry?

A: My grandfather, Dan Lessard, started a business based on providing new construction homes, pole barns and buildings in Long Island, New York in the 1940s. Following in his footsteps, my father, Addie Lessard, worked on the construction sites with my grandfather, learned the trade and passed the knowledge onto my brothers and me. When I was young, my family relocated to Delaware at a time when Delaware’s economic outlook was developing and there was more opportunity for the construction and agriculture industries. Before you continue you should make sure you find a construction scaffolding company to hire, that way the construction process can go by much more smoothly with the aid of a reliable and professional scaffolding company.

Throwback: Brian Building With His Father & Brother

Q: What type of projects has Lessard Builders worked on throughout the years?

A: Lessard Builders has built schools, commercial buildings and residential homes in Kent, Sussex and New Castle Counties over the years. Commercial construction projects include Saint Thomas More Academy in Magnolia, All Climate Storage Center in Lewes, Sea Colony projects in Bethany Beach and office buildings in Camden. Some of these constructions have been more complex than usual, and valuable learning experiences. Thankfully, technology has made working in construction easier and simpler over time. Things that would have been impossible to build are now possible thanks to the use of tools and equipment. A good example is overhead cranes, allowing for more complex roofs, as well as faster and safer construction of taller structures.

 

Self Storage Lewes Delaware

Q: What type of changes have you seen throughout the years in the new home building industry?

A: Lessard Builders personalizes every home design we build so naturally we’ve seen a variation in residential plans over the years due to market trends and client requests. We’ve also seen new technologies be introduced that streamline certain processes or allow us to save time, making the whole process much faster. On our previous project we had a storm pass by and flood our new construction when we were only on our fifth or sixth day. This would usually mean halting everything for a week or two until the terrain was in good condition to work in. Instead, we employed a wellpoint dewatering system, and that made short work of the problem. Not having to wait for something like this to pass, and doing something about it instead has made our job easier, faster, and more comfortable for everyone involved.

 

 

New Home Delaware Beach

Q: How many hours in a week do you typically work?

A: About 70 hours a week.

What is the best part of owning your own business?     

Being able to share the business with my children.

What is the feedback or accomplishment you are most proud of?    

Turning people’s dreams into reality. Before we hit the drawing board for a new home design we have a creative brainstorming session with each client to talk about how they live, what they want in their next home, the products they love and budget. Our goal is to shape these concepts into a personalized functional design that works in their price range and makes them happy.

 What is a good business tip you don’t mind sharing?  

Wake up every day with an optimistic outlook. Tell yourself that “today is going to be a good day”. If you start the day with a positive attitude, you’re setting an expectation for how the rest of your day will turn out.

What is the one piece of advice you would give to someone starting a business today?

Make certain that you love what you do. If you’re going to start a business, make sure you are truly passionate about your vision and not just in it to make the most money.

Where did you go on your last vacation?  

Disney World & Universal Studios with my children and grandchildren

Do you have a guilty pleasure?  

Vacations. I really enjoy traveling and vacationing with my family. It allows me to unplug, recharge and think creatively without distractions of the common business day.

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. We also love to see you after we’ve built your home and hope that you’ll join us at future Lessard Builders events. With that being said, we’re so lucky to see Ernie & Monica often – thank you for the kind words and we love seeing you!

“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.”

– Ernest & Monica Tramposch

Douglas Family

It has been 5 months since we took possession of our Lessard built home. We are pleased Lessard was our chosen builder as the house more than meets all of our expectations. From the workmanship, to the paint, the floors, the trim, the appliances and the total layout, we are extremely pleased. The Lessard family was there, by our side during all phases and remains a mere phone call away now that we are in. We, without reservation or hesitation, recommend Lessard Builders to anyone thinking about building their dream home. You will not be disappointed!

Johnson Family

The entire Lessard team was amazing in helping us build the house of our dreams. From our very first meeting with them and throughout the process, they were extremely responsive. Their attention to detail was incomparable. We had a vision and they made it happen!

John and Denise Johnson

Lewes, Delaware

King family home

When we walked in the door of the Lessard model we were greeted by the builder himself and his daughter. We realized this clearly was a family business where the homes were built with pride, and it was never lost on my mother and I that our home was built as though we were family. My home is so well constructed that when the nor’easters blow at 65mph, my draperies never waft! We made so many changes to our home that I think the only original walls were the exterior, yet Lessard Builders didn’t charge us for rearranging the floor plan and moving all those walls. The Lessard team worked with us for over a year as we worked our floor plan to suit our needs and there was never a sense of rush or urgency. I’ve never had so much fun and our home turned out absolutely perfect.
