Guillot Building recently completed a custom home project for a client who didn’t have a fixed budget. But just because someone doesn’t have a budget, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are looking to waste money.

Some clients want to do things as inexpensively as possible. That’s fine, too, but this man wasn’t one of them. The client told me that he wanted the top-end of available materials, and he was willing to pay whatever it took. At the same time, he was looking for value. He didn’t want extravagance for the sake of it. Needless to say, we were glad to help him to find the materials and fixtures that were stylish and well-made without being over-the-top expensive.

For example, this client was interested in the elegant, high-end look that marble floors can give a home. If that was the only option available, he probably would have asked Guillot Building to install them. But Walter Guillot, Jr., and the flooring sub-contractor that was working on the home sat down with the client. Together, they discussed a number of different options with him.

Eventually, the client decided to use travertine for his floors. Not as well known among consumers as marble is, travertine is a sedimentary rock whose use in flooring dates back to classical antiquity. Things haven’t changed much in that travertine is still valued for its classic appearance. The substance looks regal and elegant like marble, but travertine tiles generally cost about half as much. This client decided that travertine tiles gave him the style he was searching for while also giving him the value that was important to him.

It wasn’t just for the flooring…For this client, in all aspects of this custom-built house we worked closely with him to decide upon features that suited his tastes and fit with his sense of value. I am happy to say he was extremely satisfied with the end results.”.Walter Guilot

No matter who the client is, no matter the financial limitations, Guillot Building successfully works within the parameters given. At Guillot Building, the aim is to give clients the quality and style they want at prices that match their needs.
