Custom Homes
A custom-built home is one that is designed and built entirely according to your vision. Nell Homes and our team of architects work together to design and construct a home that is truly unique.
Rather than build model or spec homes, we build you a dream home — one shaped entirely around how you live, working directly with our architects from the first sketch.

Truly Custom
As a custom home builder serving Medina County and Northeast Ohio, Nell Homes designs every home from a blank sheet — not a pre-drawn floor plan with a few finish options. Your layout, square footage, materials, and site conditions all shape the design from day one, so the home fits how you actually live instead of the other way around.
That’s the difference between a truly custom home and a semi-custom or production build. In over four decades as a second-generation, family-owned builder, we’ve never constructed two homes that are exactly alike — because no two families, lots, or budgets are the same. If you’re comparing custom home builders in Northeast Ohio, ask how many identical floor plans they’ve repeated. Ours is zero.

Your custom home builder in Northeast Ohio.
Nell Homes has built custom homes in Medina County and Northeast Ohio since 1985, combining second-generation experience with hands-on project oversight.
Walk Your Plans
As a custom home builder serving Medina County and Northeast Ohio, we walk your actual floor plan with you at full scale before a single shovel hits the ground — marked out room by room, so you can feel hallway widths, ceiling heights, sightlines, and furniture placement in person instead of imagining them from a blueprint. For outdoor living, we also partner with Charley’s Decks LLC™ to bring that same made-to-fit approach to custom decks.
It answers the question most homeowners ask before building — will this floor plan actually feel right? Walking your plans removes that guesswork before construction begins, catching layout issues early instead of after the framing is up.
