HOME BUILDING & REMODELING

We believe in building homes that will serve our customers for a lifetime. We believe that you should select the best Home Builder that specializes in the type of home you are looking to design and build. Your needs may change in the future, accounting for needs  is critical in the design phase.  You may not even consider how you might be limited by physical ability in the future. However we take all of that into account and ask the right question to achieve your ” Home for a Lifetime.”

ACCESSIBLE HOMES

The concept of Aging in Place is rooted in the ideals of individualismautonomy, and independence. Fairbanks Builders is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist, recognized by the National Association of Home Builders, serving the greater Cedar Falls Area with custom homes – built for your lifetime.

Using Universal Design principles, we create environments that meet today’s needs, as well as those of tomorrow:

  • Modifying cabinet height
  • Adding pull-down shelves or open-faced cabinets
  • Leveraging open space and creating wider doorways and halls
  • Creating no-step showers and entryways
  • Including textured tile in bathrooms and kitchens
  • Adding balance bars in the bathrooms and showers
  • Enhanced lighting in stairways and hallways
  • Single story living

These adaptive housing techniques can transform your lifestyle and empower you, while lessening the dangers of home accidents.  Additionally, these features can be stylish and functional. With Universal Design, often we are able to hide the functionality beneath the beauty. No one will ever say your home looks “sterile” or “old.” On the contrary, your new home will fit needs, while complementing your lifestyle, and reflecting your personal taste.

TESTIMONIALS

Joshua Graves

Craig Fairbanks was always honest and upfront from the start of the project. He and the company worked well with us to keep the project on budget, even amid unforeseen circumstances. Craig had very good knowledge throughout all phases of the project, from digging the hole to finishing touches and landscaping. He was able to stick to the original budget, except for the extras we wanted. The prices charged for our extra demands were very reasonable. We had to finish up the landscaping the next spring since the house didn't get finished until the end of December. We also had him do work after the house was finished, since we do trust his work as a contractor.
