Home Builder FAQ

Shane Homes currently builds new single-family homes in Rockwall, Texas, in the Park Hills and Gideon Grove communities.

Yes. Shane Homes offers inventory homes, also known as spec homes, in Rockwall, Texas. Depending on current availability, these homes may already be under construction or ready for possession.

An inventory home can be a good option if you want a brand-new home but prefer a faster path to move-in with the floor plan and many of the selections already determined. Inventory changes as homes are released and sold, so check our current listings or speak with a Community Manager for the latest availability.

Some of the most useful questions to ask a home builder cover the home itself, the buying process, the construction timeline, and what happens after you move in.

Ask about available communities and lots, floor plans, what is included in the starting price, personalization options, expected construction timelines, design selections, inventory homes, warranty coverage, and who will be your main point of contact throughout the process.

It is also helpful to understand when major decisions need to be made and which options may no longer be available once construction reaches a certain stage.

Building a new home gives you more opportunity to choose your floor plan, available homesite, and eligible personalization options before construction progresses.

An inventory home is already under construction or completed, so many or all of those decisions have already been made. That typically means fewer decisions for you and the potential for an earlier move-in date.

The time required to build a new home can vary depending on the home you choose, the community, construction stage, available homesite, selections, and other factors that affect the building schedule.

Your Community Manager can provide a more specific anticipated timeline based on the home and building opportunity you’re considering.

Shane Homes gives buyers access to a design process that covers both the exterior and interior of the home. Depending on your home and available options, selections may include exterior colors, cabinetry, hardwood flooring and carpet, countertops, tile, paint, finishing materials, lighting, and plumbing fixtures.

Your design selections are an opportunity to personalize the look and feel of your home while working within the options available for your chosen home model.

When creating your list of questions to ask when building a home, think beyond the floor plan itself.

Ask how the construction process works, when you will make design decisions, how available upgrades or changes affect your price, what construction milestones you can expect, what your warranty covers, and who to contact when you have questions.

You should also ask about the community, available homesites, nearby amenities, and any factors that could affect your move-in timeline.

Shane Homes stands behind the homes we build with warranty coverage that includes:

• 1-Year Workmanship Warranty: Covers finishes such as flooring, cabinets, windows, and paint.
• 2-Year Systems Warranty: Covers systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
• 10-Year Structural Warranty: Covers major load-bearing elements such as the foundation, beams, and roof structure.

Your Shane Homes team can provide additional warranty information and help you understand what is covered after you take possession of your new home.

Both communities offer Shane Homes floor plans with options ranging from three to five bedrooms and more than 4,000 sq. ft. on select designs. Compare the location, available homesites, floor plans, inventory homes, and community features that matter most to you, then speak with a Community Manager about current opportunities in each community.
