Thank you for selecting Edgewater Homes to build your new home! We know you have many builders to choose
from and we thank you for choosing us. This will be an exciting time for you, with many decisions to make
and progress to oversee. The building process can seem daunting at times, but with this guide we hope to
relieve some of the burden of not knowing the process.
If you ever have a question or a concern, no matter how small it may seem… please do not hesitate to call us.
We will spend a lot of time together over the next year and look forward to a pleasant working relationship.
