Custom Home Designer since 1993

 

RE:  Critical information you need to know before spending

        a single penny on any set of house plans!

 

      "In my line of work I build both log and conventional homes.  It can be difficult to find someone who can draw prints for both styles.  I received a flyer in advertising Larry's Home Design.  I was planning to build a house for myself and decided to try Larry's that way I could guage whether I would use him for my clients.  I was very  impressed and since then Larry's Home Design draws prints for all our customers."

- Marvin Fisher
Denlinger-Fisher Builders, New Holland PA

“Confidence grew daily with reassurance + help… We were more than satisfied with the service from Larry’s Home Designs… The design met our expectations by 110%... We would not hesitate using your design again.  We did not have the luxury of planning ahead. Due to the fire we needed to start quickly.  Thanks for your help.”


- Bill and Joan Pelfrey,
Chillicothe OH

Your search for the home design grail is over!  And it’s yours
for the asking!

You’ve searched hard to get to this point and you deserve a break.

 

Now, I may not be King Arthur exactly, but for over a decade it’s been my joy and privilege to help scores of people like you turn their starting ideas for a new home into a fully complete custom set of construction-ready plans.  The plans used to turn those dreams into a joyous daily real-life experience for them.

 

And now it’s your turn! 

It’s All About Getting Just The Right Mix…

Don’t get me wrong.  This site IS about offering exceptional quality custom home design work. (For the same price that you would oftentimes end up paying for some standard off-the-shelf stock plans elsewhere with a few changes being needed to make it really what you want!  I’ll share that story later – if you’ll allow me too. J)  

 

But designing a home is so much more than just cranking out a workable set of drawings.  It’s even more than just bridging the gap between the client’s thoughts and the final set of plans.

 

Properly designing your home is like making fine wine …

 

You pick all the fruit you think you need.  Then carefully evaluate what you picked and select only the choicest pieces that will add to the overall quality of the end result.  If you don’t have enough quality pieces you go back and get some more.

 

Next you carefully measure all the ingredients and mix them properly together. 

Then, you put the mixture into a properly prepared container. 

 

At this point the fermenting process kicks in as the ingredients react to each other and begin working together to create the much desired end result.

 

In case you’re not familiar with wine-making, let me explain the fermenting process more clearly:

 

Yeast is used as a catalyst that creates the active force causing all the ingredients to blend correctly together.  In this stage the “working together” or “fermenting” creates gases that need to be vented in an appropriate matter. 

 

Improper venting – too much or too little – minimizes the full potential of the end result.   You end up with a bunch of YUCK!  A poor imitation of what you really wanted. 

 

Brewing your home design properly is no different...

 

As a designer my job is to serve as the proper vent to allow your ideas to blend together just right.  It’s all about building up a warm relationship of trust that purposely works through the process of effectively combining all the necessary ingredients as well as those you desire for just the perfect taste. 

 

Any ingredient in a recipe has an overall effect on the final outcome.  Quality, quantity, and type of ingredient all play a major role.

 

Good home design works exactly the same way!

If you’ll let me, I want to give you something much more valuable than just a set of house plans.  And save you money at the same time…

The biggest challenge most of my clients faced was the unavailability of systematic home design strategies. 

 

Almost without fail – in the first several meetings with new clients – the questions I asked them required scheduling another meeting with me. They had to go home and spend several days figuring out what they needed or wanted in important areas of their design.  Areas they hadn’t known to think about.  Each additional meeting meant the clock was ticking on my billable time.  Which meant a larger bill for their final set of plans!

 

And I can’t (and don’t) blame them!  If designing homes was not my career and passion then there’s no way I’d know the finer points of it either.

 

Knowledge is the key to the home design grail!  Knowledge will do two specific things for you:

ü  Confidently improve your overall design!

 

Not only will you know how to determine what you really want and need in your own design.  But when necessary you will also understand how to make important changes to your home’s flow to fully maximize its efficiency with what is right specifically for you.

 

ü  Save you money and frustrations! (In more ways than one!)

 

Having sufficient knowledge in advance will not only take time off the designers clock by decreasing the amount of time you spend with him – which keeps extra bucks in your pocket that you can put towards that new furniture you want.  It also takes various construction factors into consideration and helps you make better informed decisions that can potentially save you even more in the long term when your house is actually being built.

 

Who can put a price tag on avoiding headaches and awkward misunderstandings?  Making full use of the proper home design knowledge will effectively enhance your communication with the designer.  It will help put you both on the same page.  Not just for him to understand you better, but for you to more clearly understand him as well. 


I want to GIVE you this vital knowledge!  Yes, for FREE!  With no obligation ever.

SIMPLE FACT – Building  your own home is a special privilege in life.  A much-anticipated, hard-worked-for dream.  Most people who accomplish it only do it once in their lifetime.

 

That being the case, it makes perfect sense to make sure you have the right tools ahead of time, so that from the very beginning everything goes as smoothly as possible.  From the earliest planning stages before your pencil touches paper – all the way to putting in the last finishing nail!

 

And that’s exactly what I want too help you accomplish!

. 

But let me be upfront and clear about something…

 

It would be an honor to be given the opportunity to work closely with you creating the plans for your new home!  But that is entirely YOUR decision.  (In no way does it affect my giving you this FREE information!)

 

For the simple fact that you may only be getting one shot at building your personal dream home
I want to make sure you have the right tools to get the job done! 



“…It was great working with you, through the changes & major design.”

- James E. Vaughan, Grove City

  

“…wonderful to work with + very knowledgeable.”

- Traci Scott, Wash. C.H.

 

“…very easy to work with and quickly understood what we wanted.  Larry, I truly enjoyed working with you on the design.  You were always there to talk to me… It was wonderful for me getting to help the guys build the house and see it come to life.  It was a lot of work, but now we can enjoy the fruits of our labor.  Please stop in and see us whenever you can.  You are always welcome.”

- Keith Johnson, Bainbridge

 

SPECIAL NOTE: These clients paid to take advantage of the same information you can tap for free if you act now…


Two powerful tools have been specifically custom built to help you do exactly that:


  POWER TOOL #1:

 

The

“Larry’s Home Design News”

email newsletter

 

Jam-packed with real-life tips, tricks and advice

for anyone wanting to build their own home

·     Home-Building Tips, Tricks, and Tools and Services… I reveal some simple approaches to making your home design work for you instead of having to deal with a home design you don’t want.  I’ll take you through the pros and cons of stock plans versus custom plans, plus show you evaluation tools to see if your dream is affordable.

 

·     How To Evaluate Contractors to Avoid Being Scammed… This is where you want to be very careful.  I don’t want to promote not trusting someone, but proceed with caution in everything.  I’ll provide you with a checklist of things to beware of, and things to hang onto when you are interviewing contractors.  Knowing this information alone can easily save you the price of a custom set of house plans.

 

·     Ask Me Questions About Your Project and Get Your Answers in the Newsletters… Each project has its own unique quirks and twists that show up as uninvited guests and you’re not quite sure what to do about them.  My name may not be “Dear Abby” because I don’t deal with personal issues.  But I can help you with your home design questions.  A section of each issue will address questions submitted by readers like you.  If you like, you can call me “Dear Larry!”

 

·     How to Really Save Money During Construction by How You Plan Your Design… The money-saving advantages are unique to each individual home design.  I’ll be pointing out the general things to look for in your design, then touch on specific scenarios that really happened.

 

·     Expert “Insider” Interviews with Contractors and Home Owners… As a designer, I work on both sides of the construction world.  I’ll tap into inside knowledge of what makes a homeowner happy and what makes a contractor willing to go to the extra mile for the homeowner if there is an on-site design change.  It is unbelievably simple, but often overlooked…

 

·     …much, much more!

Right at your fingertips you have access to what I’ve learned in over 12 years of working one-on-one with home design clients.  Bringing their individual dreams of a new home into crystal-clear focus.


      "Believe me, Larry & his ability to design structures, is a 'jewel in the rough.'  I was referred to him as an experienced log home designer & I had either a log (or log slab) home in mind.  I contacted Larry, & in no time, had plans & the specifications.  This was to the last nail & piece of siding.

      Larry's work is reasonably priced & excellent quality.  He  knows builders & suppliers who can have you in 'front of the fireplace' in no time."

- James E. Vaughan, Groveport OH


Larry,

      ... Thanks again for your help with these. You have been by far the best designer we have dealt with, both communication wise and product quality wise. Everything I have looked at had been excellent. Keep up the good work.

 - Thanks Gary

Why am I giving away this free bonus that is in-depth enough that I could charge for it? 

(Comparable study materials on the internet – though in different markets, because I’ve not seen anything like this on home design before – are being sold for between $17 and $29.  And I’m seriously considering taking this information and turning it into a book to sell!)

 

The answer is simply that I want to!  You see, I don’t take it lightly about you trusting me with your email information.  Despite the great things being done with the internet, there is also a lot of junk and unethical, illegal activity going on.  And I don’t blame you for being reluctant to give out your contact information.

Besides, the home design industry has been a tremendous blessing to me.  And I want to give something valuable back.

And you're at the right place to benefit!
