Greater Boston’s Trusted Custom Home Builder
Partner with Stella for Comprehensive New Home Construction Services
Your dream deserves more than a builder; it needs a partner who understands design, detail, and delivery. At Stella Construction & Home Services, we build bespoke homes in Greater Boston with the same exacting standards that have defined our remodeling reputation. If you’re seeking a builder who balances artistry, structural integrity, and process discipline, let’s build together.
We specialize in turning architectural visions into homes- from modern, minimalist statements to classic New England styles. Every custom home starts with the promise of craftsmanship, systems excellence, transparency, and client-first communication. We work with architects and designers, and if you need an architect we have some excellent recommendations.
From Vision to Plan: Pre-Construction Services
Our pre-construction process ensures your custom home starts with a strong foundation. We begin with a full site analysis, reviewing topography, access, utilities, and environmental factors to confirm feasibility. Through concept budgeting and value studies, we establish accurate cost ranges and align design goals with your budget. Our team coordinates structural, mechanical, electrical, and material systems early to avoid costly surprises, then develops phased budgets that track costs from foundation to finishes. Stella also manages all permitting, code compliance, and approvals, so your project is ready to build with confidence.
Luxury Finishes, Quality Built Homes to Last Generations
Every Stella home is built with craftsmanship and attention to detail that endures. From custom millwork, solid-surface countertops, and elegant cabinetry to thoughtfully designed lighting, every finish is treated as essential. We source premium materials—windows, doors, hardware, flooring, and roofing—chosen for both beauty and performance. Our builds incorporate advanced insulation, air-sealing, and energy-efficient systems for comfort and longevity, along with smart home technology for seamless lighting, security, and climate control. Even outdoor spaces receive the same care, with terraces, patios, decks, and landscaping integrated to complement the architecture and enhance everyday living.

Custom Home FAQ
What’s the timeline for a custom home build?
From design to move-in, a typical custom home in the Boston area takes 12–18 months (site, permitting, construction). Faster schedules may be possible depending on complexity and approvals.
How much does a custom home cost per square foot?
Costs vary widely depending on site complexity, finishes, systems, and scale. Expect premium custom homes in Greater Boston to run between $300–$700+ / sf (or higher for ultra-luxury). We always provide detailed estimates during pre-construction phases.
Do you require us to use your architect or designer?
No, you are free to engage your design professional. We’ve worked with external architects and interior designers and will integrate with their work. If desired, we can also recommend select professionals we trust.
How do you manage change orders?
All changes are handled through a transparent change-order process. You’ll see cost impact, schedule impact, and options before you approve.
Will you help with selections (fixtures, finishes, materials)?
Yes, we provide a selections process and review guidance. We help source materials, coordinate lead times, and manage coordination between materials and systems.
Do you build energy-efficient or “green” homes?
Absolutely. We often incorporate high-performance systems, insulation, energy modeling, ventilation, and sustainable materials. If desired, we can design toward net-zero, Passive House, or green certification goals.
