What Makes a WOMAN'S Touch Different?
EVEN THOUGH she’s been in the industry for over 15 years, people are still surprised when they find out that she’s “The Builder”. In a male-dominated field, Tina Prizament of Royale Custom Homes Inc is one of the few who can put a woman’s touch on building a house and creating a home.
“As a woman, I like to create a nice atmosphere through the entire process,” explains Tina. “Building a home is a lot of work, but I try to alleviate some of the stress by keeping the decisions straight forward and uncomplicated.”
She nurtures her clients through the process of building a home from the ground up. But don’t let her femininity fool you; she knows trusses and footings, archways and concrete. When it comes to inspecting the work, Tina is the one who makes sure every thing is up to par. She doesn’t leave it to a superintendent or supervisor; she takes on the responsibility to visit the site daily and inspect the work.
Having a home built can be a daunting task, with an overwhelming number of decisions for many home buyers. That’s where Tina’s special touch comes in. From selecting a floor plan to the final touches of cabinetry in the kitchen, she tries to eliminate some of the stress of decision making by having the home owner make choices over time, as needed during the building process, instead of having to make all of the critical decisions at once.
Another quality that creates success stories is good communication. Tina makes herself available to answer questions and provide updates and schedules. When you hire Royale Custom Homes to build your dream house, there’s no unreturned phone calls, no wondering what’s going on. You, the home buyer, are in the know.
She’s flexible too and can work with detailed floor plans, from the internet, or from an existing already built house that you’ve found to your liking. She can help you bring elements together from different designs and top it off with decorating advice. If you want dormers, but the design you fell in love with doesn’t include them—no bother. Tina will pair your personal wishes with existing plans, making it all look not just natural, but beautiful. If you have style that you’re aiming for in your finished house, Tina will work to compliment it. She sees the big picture and what all the little decisions will add up to in the end. How the flooring will come together with the cabinets and the countertops with the fixtures.
You can see some of Tina’s homes in and around Alachua County, with many in the High Springs and Alachua area. “Looking at a finished house is always exciting,” says Tina. “I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.” As unusual as it is to be a woman in the building industry, Tina Prizament is a natural. Her tender touch adds not just to the final product, but makes the process a pleasant one. The journey of building a house can last upwards of six months, so it’s important to feel comfortable with the your builder. With Royale Custom Homes Inc, Tina will not only be right there beside you, she’ll be your tour guide. Through the ins and outs, ups and downs, she will make sure you arrive at your destination, satisfied with your new home.
Your relationship doesn’t end when the home is complete and you move in. Tina continues to be available until she knows you’re satisfied, that all the projects have been completed, and that any touchups are finished. It’s very important, to her, that her customers are happy and comfortable in their new home. It’s just the final stroke of her woman’s touch. G
