Different Home Styles to Choose From

Cape Cod Homes

Cape Cod homes are low, wide, one-story structures with a middle-sized chimney, a relatively steep gabled roof, and extremely traditional decoration. This style of building was developed in New England in the 1970s.

Multi-Box Homes

Multi-box homes have several different sections married together to create a unique and modern style to your home.

Ranch Homes

Traditional ranch-style homes are single-story structures that frequently have an open floor plan with a designated patio area. Large windows run along the front of the house and long, low-pitch roof lines are common features of these designs. Ranch-style homes can come in a variety of shapes.

Two-Story Homes

Homes with two stories typically feature an upper and lower level and most with a basement. The bedrooms are primarily located on the upper level of these homes and two separate floor plans.

Building a New Home

The steps in building a new house can be complicated at first.

We at Legendary Homes hope to make the home-building process as simple as possible. The first step is to get educated on the building process.

There are many construction stages of building a home. Some steps in building a new house include clearing the lot and digging the hole for the basement or crawl space. Then installing the footers and the foundation walls. Once the basement walls are set, any underground plumbing for a basement bathroom will need to be put in and inspected by the plumbing inspector.

Then the flat work contractor can come in and pour and finish the basement floor.

The next step is bringing the modular home in onto the building site. The Legendary Homes excavator, who is subcontracted normally, will backfill the foundation the day the house is brought in. For insulated precast basements, we are careful to be sure to brace the walls and not backfill all the way up to avoid issues with the foundation. This is an important step in the building process.

Special attention is also required in preparing the house and foundation before backfilling all the way up once the house is set on the foundation. Straps need to be nailed to the house, and braces need to be put between the floor joists for added support.

The set day is normally the day or two after the house is delivered to the property. If the site allows, we will “roll set” the modular home onto the foundation. If the site does not allow a roll set, then we will use a crane to set the modular home.

Once the house is set, then the building construction process continues.

Electrical is one of the first things we get done. Having the service installed and inspected is critical to getting power.

If the new home is in a basement, we try and build the stairway as quickly as we can to make it easier for the subcontractors to have access to the basement to get their work done.

Mechanical work such as gas lines and any duct work connections or even a new furnace installed if required is also part of the building process.

The well is drilled normally right after the house is set, and then the water line and pressure tank are put in a day or two after that. Plumbing of the drain lines and connecting the water lines will also be part of the building process. This is done after the pressure tank is put in and the power is on at the house.

Installation of the septic tank and drainfield will also be done near the time of the modular home set.

The average cost of building a house can be hard to figure out without having more information about the project. Location, types of soil, size of home, and what types of options/upgrades are going to be done are just some of the information needed to figure out the cost of building a new home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely love our home. Todd was very helpful throughout the whole process from choosing our different options and throughout the entire building process. He helped us find the best options that worked for us and help us save some money where we could. He was easy to communicate with and gave us updates throughout the process. On top of that, about 6 months after we built it we put 2 holes in our siding and asked Todd for two siding pieces of siding so we could replace them. Not only did he provide the siding pieces within less than a week, but also personally installed them himself without us even asking. Such a kind and generous company. Highly recommend!

We are so happy to have watched it all unfold and move into our new home. As we settle in,  Legendary Homes has been a great support making sure everything is working as it should and has gone above and beyond to make things easier for us through the transition and settling period. Couldn’t be happier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Legendary Homes built our home, added a garage a few years later, and most recently completed a beautiful front porch for us. Todd is always very responsive and he and his team consistently do fantastic work. They are incredibly hardworking, professional, and their craftsmanship really shows in the finished product. We’ve been very happy with every project they’ve done for us and absolutely love our home. I highly recommend Legendary Homes!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been in our home for over a year now and we are very happy.  We had a total loss house fire, and decided to meet with Todd at Legendary Homes.  It was a very hard time for us since we had no plans before the fire to "get a new house".  Todd was patient and helped us through this process.  He always answered  questions, calls and concerns quickly and patiently.  We had MINOR issues (as you will with any building project) and they were address and fixed quickly.  Our house is beautiful and we couldn't be happier.  I recommend Todd and Legendary Homes whenever I am asked about our house and the process.  I appreciated Todd's knowledge, customer service and kindness throughout the process.  He is Good Guy that helped us get back into a Beautiful, Quality House!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After our home was lost in a devastating fire in January 2025, we didn’t know where to begin. It was the most devastating time of our lives, but Todd Rutledge and Legendary Homes quickly became a source of hope, guidance, and support for our family.

From our very first meeting, Todd showed not only professionalism, but also genuine compassion for what we were going through. He listened carefully to our needs, answered every question with patience, and helped us see that rebuilding was possible. Throughout the process, he was always transparent, responsive, and proactive—making sure we felt informed and confident in each decision along the way.

The team at Legendary Homes treated our project as if it were their own, paying attention to every detail and ensuring that the finished product was not only structurally sound and beautifully designed, but also a true reflection of us. Todd’s dedication went far beyond just building a house; he cared about restoring our sense of home, safety, and stability after such a loss.

Walking into our new home for the first time was an emotional experience—one we’ll never forget. What could have been a long and overwhelming journey turned into one of healing and hope, thanks to Todd and his incredible team.

We are endlessly grateful for Todd Rutledge and Legendary Homes. They didn’t just rebuild our home—they helped rebuild our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, but especially to those who want to work with a builder who truly cares about people.

Todd Rutledge is great to work with. We were pleasantly surprised at how much customization you can do to a modular home floor plan to make a floor plan fit your needs. From the placement of electrical outlets to moving whole rooms. Legendary Homes turned our vision of what we wanted into a reality. Todd was always quick in responding to questions and concerns. We are very happy and satisfied with our decision to go with Legendary Homes.
