NJL Custom Homes has been building thoughtfully designed custom homes and completing high-quality renovations throughout the St. Louis area since 2012.

NJL combines the personal attention of a local builder with an organized, transparent construction process. Our experienced team works closely with each homeowner from the earliest planning stages through construction, closing and warranty service. We focus on thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, clear communication and homes built around the way our clients live.

Start by contacting our team to schedule an initial conversation. We will learn more about your vision, preferred location, desired timeline and investment range before outlining the next steps for your project.

It is never too early to start the conversation. Ideally, we recommend contacting us before purchasing property or beginning architectural plans so we can offer guidance on site feasibility, design, budgeting and the overall project timeline.

No. You can contact us whether you are beginning with an idea, an inspiration photo, an existing floor plan or completed architectural drawings. Involving NJL early allows us to provide practical construction and budgeting guidance throughout the design process.

Visit the Projects section of our website to explore completed custom homes, renovations and current projects. You can also follow NJL Custom Homes on social media for construction updates, design inspiration and behind-the-scenes looks at our work.

NJL has access to available lots, upcoming development opportunities, and properties being considered for future homes. Availability changes frequently, so we encourage you to contact our team for the latest information.

Yes. We strongly recommend involving NJL before purchasing land. Our team can review the property at a preliminary level and help identify potential concerns involving zoning, setbacks, utilities, topography, access, drainage, trees, demolition, and site-development costs.

NJL cannot guarantee buildability based on an initial review alone. Final feasibility may depend on surveys, engineering, soil testing, utility verification, municipal requirements, architectural review, and governmental approvals. However, our team can help coordinate the appropriate research and professional evaluations.

Depending on the property, we may consider:

• Zoning and permitted use

• Required building setbacks

• Lot size, width, and coverage limitations

• Easements and deed restrictions

• Subdivision or HOA requirements

• Architectural review requirements

• Public water and sewer availability

• Well, septic, or lagoon requirements

• Topography, drainage, and stormwater management

• Floodplain or wetland considerations

• Tree-preservation requirements

• Driveway and street access

• Demolition requirements

• Preliminary site-development costs

Yes. In established communities, purchasing an existing home for demolition may provide more opportunities than searching only for vacant land. NJL can help evaluate whether a teardown property may work for your desired home, subject to municipal requirements and further due diligence.

Not always. The design may be affected by the lot’s dimensions, zoning requirements, setbacks, easements, height limitations, lot coverage, architectural review standards, subdivision restrictions, topography, and other conditions. NJL can work with you and the design team to develop a home suited to the property.

Contact NJL Custom Homes and tell us about your preferred location, budget, timeline, and vision for your future home. Whether you are searching for an available NJL home, a vacant lot, or a potential teardown, our team can help you explore the available options and determine the best path forward.
