Standard Features: Just a Starting Point at Discovery House Homes
At Discovery House Homes, we believe that the word “standard” should mean something special. Our standard features are not the bare minimum; they are the foundation of what we call Affordable Luxury. Every home we build includes high-quality materials, thoughtful design, and craftsmanship that ensures long-term value.
When you choose Discovery House Homes, you are not starting from a builder-grade template. You are starting from excellence.
What Makes Our Standards Different
Many builders use “good, better, best” pricing tiers to encourage upgrades. We do not. Every home we build, whether it is a cozy mountain cottage or a larger custom home, starts with the same level of quality and care. Our goal is not to upsell you. Our goal is to build it right the first time.
Here are just a few of the features that come standard in every Discovery House Home:
- 2×6 exterior wall construction for strength and energy efficiency
- James Hardie siding for lasting durability and low maintenance
- Granite countertops throughout the kitchen and bathrooms
- Custom cabinetry built with real wood, not particle board
- Energy-efficient windows and insulation designed for mountain climates
- Premium flooring and trim packages
- Beautiful stonework accents inside and out
- Insured, third-party structural warranty backed by Liberty Mutual
These features are not optional. They are part of who we are and what we believe in; homes built with integrity, durability, and value.
Affordable Luxury in Every Detail
Affordable Luxury does not mean cutting corners to lower costs. It means using quality materials, proven craftsmanship, and a transparent building process to create homes that last for generations. By including premium features as standard, we eliminate the confusion and frustration that often come with hidden upgrades and change orders.
Every detail matters to us, from the framing behind the walls to the finishes you see every day. That is how we have earned our reputation as the most transparent and trusted builder in our region.
Customization Beyond the Standard
While our standard features provide a beautiful foundation, we know that every homeowner has their own taste and vision. That is why we work with you to personalize your selections; colors, fixtures, tile, flooring, and more. You have the freedom to customize without pressure or surprises. Our selections consultant will guide you through every choice so the process remains simple and enjoyable.
Faith, Integrity, and Craftsmanship
We believe that doing things right is not just good business, it is the right thing to do. Our commitment to faith-based values means we approach every build with honesty, transparency, and respect for your investment. We take pride in what is behind the walls because that is where quality truly begins.

Do all Discovery House Homes include the same standard features?
Can I upgrade materials or finishes if I choose?
Absolutely. While our standard features are already premium, we offer complete flexibility for homeowners who wish to customize or enhance specific areas of their home.
Why do you not use good, better, best pricing?
We believe every homeowner deserves our best. Using tiered pricing often leads to confusion and hidden costs. This is a game builders play to benefit the builder and we don’t play games. Our approach keeps everything clear, consistent, and transparent.
