 Q:
Who is Endeavor Homes?
A:
We are an employee-owned company with over 20 years
in the pre-cut lumber business. We have shipped countless
homes throughout California and Northern Nevada.
Q:
What is unique about the Endeavor Homes package?
A: We provide
a complete owner/builder building material package,
sold by local distributors and located close to the owner/builder.
We can also arrange financing for qualified buyers- while
Endeavor Homes does not actually provide the financing, we
do have many lenders who will provide the loans to our owner/builder
customers, without the requirement of a contractor's
license.
Q:
Who builds their own home?
A: In short,
anyone can build their own home, especially when they are
supported by us. Some of our more common owner / builders
include previous home owners, renters who want to build equity,
and retirees wishing to relocate.
Q:
Why build vs. buying a resale home?
A: Several reasons,

and building additional "sweat equity." When building

but when the project is finished you can take great pride
in your accomplishment.
