Why I Don’t Mark Up Customer Upgrades

Imagine you’re building your dream home and decide to upgrade your granite from tier 3 to tier 6. The actual cost difference is $12 per square foot, but most builders might charge you $15—adding a 25% markup. That’s where S. Clements Homes does things differently.

With over 25 years in the industry, I’ve learned that my profit comes from the base price per square foot. So when it comes to upgrades, I don’t believe in padding the numbers. If you want to upgrade your granite, flooring, or fixtures, I’ll charge you exactly what it costs me—just the price difference and no more. My long-standing relationships with vendors allow me to get the actual cost, and that’s the price I pass on to you.

This philosophy isn’t just about pricing; it’s about building trust and dealing straightforwardly. With S. Clements Homes, you know exactly what you’re paying for, without hidden fees or unexpected charges.
