Design and Build
At Lucida Homes, we take a unique approach to custom home building. Unlike many other builders, we offer design-build services instead of the traditional design-bid-build model. With design-bid-build, homeowners are responsible for finding their own architect and obtaining city permits. However, our streamlined process eliminates these unnecessary steps and stress. With our design-build model, you can get all your custom home-building services in one place.

Lucida Homes strives to achieve a seamless integration of our designs with their surrounding natural landscapes by conducting meticulous and comprehensive analysis of the project site. We firmly believe that each project should be mindful of its context, utilizing site-specific data to create a proposal that exudes a sense of fluidity and intentional freshness.
Our methodology for constructing a personalized residence is quite straightforward: design an exquisite home that not only appears visually appealing but also operates seamlessly. To accomplish this, we incorporate your valuable input along with the expertise of our skilled team, adhering to a systematic process.

A few months ago we finished our basement with Lucida Homes. I invited 5 contractors for estimates and went with Lucida Homes even though their quote was not the cheapest one (rule of thumb: don’t go with neither the most expensive nor the cheapest). Team was very professional and gave us tons of recommendations and ideas. He promised to finish work in a two months but finished in 30(!) working days. Everything was professionally planned. It was very important for us that house remains clean during the renovation and Roman didn’t let us down. Not to mention that Reno lasted for one month only.

Lucida Homes team were very efficient. Our kitchen and dining room were once separate - now we have a huge open space that adds so much more to our home. From the initial talks to finish, everything went smoothly and the team provided valuable suggestions along the way that I didn't think of. I highly recommend their services.

My brother recommended to finish my basement with Lucida Homes as he did and I did not regret it. When contractor came to the appointment for the first time, he gave a lot of wise advice on the design and practicality of using the space in the basement. A month after signing the contract Lucida Homes began work and less than three weeks they finished basement at 1000 square feet. Lucida Homes team was always friendly, testifying, kept clean, gave good advice. It was very easy and nice to work with Lucida Homes. Next year I will start repairing the kitchen and 100% Lucida Homes will do it. Thank you guys for doing a great job!

I have worked with Lucida Homes for quite some time now and always received the best service from this company. They always very prudent and efficient in their work. Company's crew is ambitiously motivated to get things done fast and strives for perfection. I find him very skilled and knowledgeable in his field, had problems trusting him that things would be done and done the right way. He had done a few projects for me and always completed it well and 100%! Would definitely hire him for my next project! Thank you Lucida Homes!

Lucida Homes crew recently renovated two bathrooms in my house - the main bathroom and the master ensuite. His work is excellent and completed within the timeframe he estimated. The person in charge was polite, punctual and respectful of my space. I amazed by excellent job tiling and worked tirelessly until his job was done to keep the timeline of the project on track. They were neat and tidy - floors were vacuumed and all tools and supplies were in neat order before leaving for the day. I would highly recommend Lucida Homes for any projects in your home!
