Central‑Ohio Custom Home Builder
At Hearthstone Home & Design, “custom” means designing a home that reflects your lifestyle, not squeezing you into a predefined plan. With decades of experience in Fairfield, Franklin, Perry, Hocking and surrounding counties, we start by listening to your ideas, translating them into a floor plan, and refining it until it’s perfect. Then our integrated design and construction team manages the entire build—from permits and financing to final décor—so your home is beautiful, functional and built to last.

Our Process
From first ideas to final approval, our step-by-step process ensures your home is designed and built with confidence.
1. Meet & Plan
Bring your ideas to the table—we’ll refine your vision and tailor your plan to fit your lifestyle and goals.
2. Estimate & Adjust
Once the plan is refined, we provide a clear cost estimate and help balance design choices within your budget
3. Draft & Finalize
Our draftsman creates detailed prints for your review. Revise as needed until every detail is just right.
4. Finance & Permits
We coordinate with lenders, surveyors, and county officials to secure financing, soil samples, and permits.
5. Site Evaluation
Before construction begins, we inspect the lot, evaluate soil and slope, and determine the best home placement.
From Idea to Foundation
A Seamless Path to Your Custom Home
Your home’s journey begins with a friendly consultation and ends with a turnkey handover. We collaborate on your wish list and refine a floor plan, provide a rough estimate, then send plans to our draftsman. After final revisions, we help with financing and permits before breaking ground. Throughout construction you’ll receive regular updates until move‑in day.
Design Collaboration
A Floor Plan That Fits Your Life
Unlike builders who push stock plans, we encourage you to bring ideas—from magazine clippings to online plans. We’ll adjust room sizes, move windows or doors and ensure each space flows beautifully. You’ll also enjoy selecting cabinetry, countertops and flooring with our designer’s guidance, creating a home that feels truly yours.
Local Expertise
Building Where You Live
Our experience in Fairfield, Hocking, Hideaway Hills and surrounding counties means we understand local soil conditions, HOAs and permit requirements. We’ll walk your lot before you buy, advise on site placement, coordinate septic and utility needs, and connect you with lenders—removing obstacles so you can focus on the fun part: designing your home.
