Our Vision

Nantucket is known worldwide for its charm and distinctive beauty. At Cheney Custom Homes, we strive to build homes that integrate that beauty, rich history, and natural splendor into our designs to bring your unique vision to life with unmatched quality. The result is a custom Nantucket home that creates lifelong opportunities for you and your family and friends to enjoy.

Our Approach to building a Custom Home.

Building a home is an intimate process that requires trust and communication. We set ourselves apart by fostering a collaborative and customized approach. We understand that when building a home on Nantucket, accessibility and oversight can be an issue. We constantly maintain open lines of communication through detailed project scheduling and bi-weekly cost tracking reports. Our comprehensive management process significantly reduces the duration of construction while remaining within your budget.

 

Our goal is not to be the biggest, just the best at what we do: building custom homes of exceptional value on Nantucket.
