JayMarc Custom Homes

05/18/2026

Here is something we've been working toward for a long time, and we are genuinely excited to share it with you.

For years, JayMarc was primarily a spec builder, and we were proud of that work. We also built custom homes alongside it, and the more we did, the more we noticed something: families building custom were largely on their own. The process was complicated, the decisions were constant, and most builders expected clients to keep up rather than helping them feel prepared. The custom home industry has no shortage of talented builders. What it has far too few of is builders who truly mentor their clients through the process and make it something worth remembering. We saw that gap, and we knew we were the right team to fill it.

So we made a decision. We are now focused primarily on custom homebuilding.

From time to time, you may still see a for-sale home from us. But when you hear the name JayMarc Custom Homes, we want you to know exactly what we stand for: a builder who walks beside your family through one of the biggest decisions of your lives, from the very first conversation to long after you have moved in.

We have a new name, a new look, and a brand-new website that reflects it all. We hope you take a few minutes to look around. www.jaymarchomes.com

We are opening the doors to one of our most considered homes yet.

The Santa Clara at 10630 SE 22nd St in Bellevue is holding an open house this Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26, from 12 to 4 pm, and we want you to come walk through it!

Here is why this home is worth your Saturday afternoon:

The kitchen is genuinely built for entertaining. Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, an accordion window that opens to an outdoor BBQ station, dual wine fridges, and a large island that invites people to gather. The great room leads to a covered patio with a stone fireplace and chandelier lighting. In the backyard, a fire bowl gathering area sits next to a refurbished treehouse that was designed to match the home's aesthetic. And inside, the media room has a 110-inch retractable projection screen with full surround sound. The fitness studio has frosted-glass doors and its own wet bar entrance.

This is 7,569 square feet designed with intention.

JayMarc builds homes for families who want to love where they live. Every home we build reflects that commitment, and The Santa Clara is no exception.

Open House: Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 | 12 to 4 PM
10630 SE 22nd St Bellevue, WA 98004

If you've ever looked at a custom home photo and thought, "I have no idea how people end up with a home like that," this webinar is for you.

On April 15th at 3:30 PM, we're hosting a free live session where we walk through our portfolio and explain the two different ways families can build with JayMarc. Because the path that works for one family might not work for another, and we think you deserve to understand the difference before you decide anything.

"We want to build, but we're not quite ready."

We hear this from families all the time, and it makes complete sense. Building a custom home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. Of course you want to feel prepared.

But here's something worth knowing: waiting and planning are not the same thing.

When you wait without planning, market conditions shift, budgets drift, and permitting timelines stack up quietly in the background. By the time you're ready to move forward, you may find yourself making decisions under pressure that you could have made thoughtfully months earlier.

Early planning gives you financial clarity, site insight, and design confidence, all without committing to construction before you're ready.

We just published an article walking through exactly what early planning looks like, why it matters, and how JayMarc helps families prepare without pressure.

If you're thinking about building a custom home in the Greater Seattle area, this one's worth your time.

Finding the right lot is one of the hardest parts of the custom home process right now. Land is expensive, inventory is limited, and a lot that looks right online can some with challenges that only show up during a proper feasibility review.

We're hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, March 4th at 3:30 PM on Zoom to help you understand what to look for before you buy or build.

Land Feasibility 101: What to Know Before You Buy or Build
We'll walk you through:
- What to evaluate before committing to a lot
- Common zoning and permitting pitfalls on the Eastside
- How slopes, setbacks, HOAs, and title issues can affect your build
- Why early feasibility work leads to more accurate budgets
- Real stories from our projects where due diligence saved clients serious money

Whether you're still searching for land or already own a property you're evaluating, this session will give you a clearer picture of what you're working with.

🏡 Best of Houzz 2026: Service

We're honored to receive this recognition for the ninth time.

Here's what makes this award meaningful: it's based entirely on reviews from families we worked with in 2025. Real experiences. Real feedback. Real trust.

We believe building a custom home shouldn't mean navigating the process alone. That's why we show up as guides and mentors, answering questions honestly, educating at every step, and staying connected long after you move in.

To the families who shared their experiences: thank you. Your trust drives everything we do.

To anyone considering a custom home: we're here to be your trusted guide through this journey.

Here's what we love about building custom homes: the moment a client walks into their finished home and realizes every decision they made, from the ceiling height to the mudroom layout, was exactly right for their family.

We get to be part of that. Every single project.

This Valentine's Day, we're grateful for the clients who trust us to guide them through one of life's biggest decisions, and for the team who shows up every day to make it happen with care, expertise, and genuine investment in getting it right.

To everyone who's part of the JayMarc family, clients, trade partners, and team members, thank you for letting us do work that actually matters.

Picture this: You're six months into your custom home build. Your builder calls and says, "We need another $75K because we didn't account for the drainage issues."

Or: "We need to pause construction while you choose your tile because we didn't finalize selections before framing."

Or: "The permits got rejected because the plans weren't complete."

These aren't construction problems. They're planning problems. And they're completely preventable.

At JayMarc Custom Homes, we spend months in preconstruction (the Discovery, Design, and Define phases), so these surprises don't happen. We identify site challenges early, finalize selections before bidding, and submit complete permit packages the first time.

It's not the exciting part of building a custom home. But it's the part that protects your investment, your timeline, and your peace of mind.

We just published an in-depth look at our preconstruction process and exactly what happens before we break ground.

If you're considering a custom home in the Greater Seattle area (or just curious about how this all works), give it a read.

Preconstruction planning prevents delays and sets your custom home up for success. Find out how JayMarc Custom Homes protects your time, money, and peace of mind.
