Tustin thrives as one of the best places to live in Orange County not only for the city’s activities and entertainment, but also for its views. Filled with beautiful hills, the scenic Saddleback Mountains, the Pacific coastline, and nicknamed “City of Trees” for its numerous citrus, eucalyptus, palm, pepper, oak, and pine trees, it rightfully has 80,000 residents and it is still growing.
As such, homes in Tustin are of high-value and 97% of these are occupied. Throughout the city, there is about the same percentage of single-family houses and apartment complexes for owners and renters. We’ve created this list of the top four custom home builders in the area to help you build or customize a new home in this city. We looked at awards, work history, recent projects, as well as client testimonials.
Tuscany Builders
PO Box 6214, Laguna Niguel, CA 92607
Clients of Tuscany Builders work directly with the owners. This father and son tandem is hands-on when it comes to projects. They only do one project at a time to assure each job is done smoothly from start to finish. The firm also uses high-quality materials for cabinetry and plumbing fixtures. This 31-year-old company has thousands of successfully completed projects, showing it already knows how to satisfy owners.
Aside from bathroom and kitchen remodels, the vast gallery of Tuscany Builders also showcases themed backyard upgrades. One example is this modern pool with Tuscan accents. The backyard features a technologically modern pool with three custom fountains and a rain wall for extra water sounds. Aside from remodeling the pool’s landscape, the firm also added a large TV and LED fireplace next to it as added family entertainment. The remodeling was done while preserving the existing Mediterranean appeal of the home. Learn more about them at www.tuscanybuildersca.com
