BUILD A HOME IN SURPRISE

Surprise, Arizona is one of the West Valley’s fastest-growing cities, offering new communities, excellent schools, and a family-friendly lifestyle at a compelling value. Known for Surprise Stadium (spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers), and vibrant new retail corridors. Surprise is an ideal place to build a custom home. Jematell Homes brings the same luxury craftsmanship and personal attention we deliver across the greater Phoenix metro to every build in Surprise.

The Most Transparent Builder You Will Work With

Most homeowners find out about a cost overrun after it has already happened. We work the other way around. Before you break ground you know how your home is priced, what your draw schedule looks like, and what every allowance covers, all in writing. Once we start, you hear from us every week until you have the keys.

Weekly Progress Updates

Every week of construction you get a written update: what was finished, what is scheduled next, and any decision we need from you. You never have to call and ask how your home is coming along.

Upfront Cost Estimates

On cost-plus builds you get an itemized cost estimate before we break ground, and we share the actual subcontractor bids with you, so you can see what every part of your home costs. For our in-house plans or simpler custom homes, we can quote a flat-rate build cost up front instead.

A Clear Draw Schedule

You get the full draw schedule at the start: which milestones release which funds, and when your lender is billed. Your financing stays predictable from foundation through final inspection.

Selection Allowance Breakdown

Every allowance is itemized before you choose a single finish. Flooring, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, etc. each carry their own number, so you always know what is budgeted and what an upgrade actually costs.
