Have the lot? Let’s build the home. 🏡

You don’t have to live in one of our featured communities to build a Centennial home.

We build custom homes on privately owned property throughout Birmingham, Lake Martin, Smith Lake and surrounding areas—and the home can be designed around your land, your lifestyle and the way you actually want to live.

Already have plans? Great.

Just bought the lot? We can start there.

Have a Pinterest board with 427 photos and absolutely no discernible architectural theme? We can work with that, too. 😉

Our latest blog walks through what it looks like to build on your own lot with Centennial Homes.

Your land. Your ideas. Your home. Built by Centennial.

There are two kinds of people.

People who walk into a house and think, “I can make this work.”

And people who immediately start moving walls in their head. 😂

If you’re the second kind, we should probably talk.

Building custom means thinking about how YOU actually live—from the kitchen and scullery to the laundry room, outdoor spaces, storage, finishes and all those little details you’ll appreciate every single day.

Bring us the Pinterest board.
Bring us the sketches.
Bring us the idea you’re not entirely sure is possible.

That’s where the fun starts.

🏡 Centennial Homes
Custom homes designed around the people who live in them, now building in The Preserve, Five Oaks in Vestavia, South Oak, The Ridge, The Heritage, and Shiner's Cove on Lake Martin, Smith Lake, and on your own lot!

So… about that empty spot in your backyard. 👀

We’re not saying it needs a pool.

We’re just saying that if you’ve been standing at the back window thinking, “You know what would look really good right there…”

Well.

We know a guy. 😎💦

Actually, we know the guys pretty well.

Our friends at Solace Pools & Outdoor Living can take that backyard from “we should do something out here” to custom pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, fire features and the whole "why would we ever leave home?" situation.

And if you built your home with Centennial, it only seems fair that we help you finish the backyard, too.

Consider this your very unofficial introduction. 🤝 [email protected] or call 205-990-7568

What’s happening in Five Oaks? A LOT. 👀🏡

You know Five Oaks — over by Lifetime Fitness, y’all — and zoned for Vestavia Hills schools. Things are moving fast, and it’s so much fun watching each of these custom homes take shape.

🏡 Lot 13 — SOLD & CLOSED! We recently got a tour after the homeowner had everything furnished and settled in, and WOW. Her home is absolutely stunning. Seeing the finished product come together exactly for the person who dreamed it up is the best part of custom building.

🧱 Lot 15 — AT FRAME! And magnificent is the word. This one already has such a presence, and it’s only getting better.

🤍 Lot 9 — BRICK IS GOING UP! This home is stunning, and I am completely obsessed with the round window. It’s one of those architectural details that makes the whole house.

🚧 Lot 4 — FOOTINGS ARE IN! It feels like yesterday this was just a homesite, and before we know it, we’ll be walking through the framing.

✏️ Lot 1 — IN DESIGN! This is a basement lot, and we cannot wait to see what the homeowners dream up for it. This is where the fun starts.

Five Oaks is becoming such a beautiful little collection of one-of-a-kind custom homes, each with its own architecture, personality and wish list.

And there’s still one opportunity to build here. If you’ve been thinking about a custom home in Vestavia and want to know what’s available in Five Oaks, reach out and I’ll give you the tour.

You know what we rarely hear?

“I wish we hadn’t added that.”

The scullery.
The oversized laundry room.
The sauna after the workout.
The golf simulator downstairs.
The outdoor kitchen everyone ends up gathered around.
The pool designed as part of the house—not an afterthought.
The extra storage exactly where you need it.

When you build custom, the best part isn’t choosing finishes.

It’s designing a home around the way you actually want to live.

At Centennial Homes, we love the details that make a house distinctly yours—even when the request starts with, “Okay, this might sound crazy, but…”

Trust us. We’ve heard a few. 😉

Now building in The Preserve, Five Oaks, South Oak, Lake Martin and Smith Lake—and we can build on your own lot, too.

Have something on your dream-home wish list? We’d love to hear it.

💭🤔YOUR LOT. YOUR WISH LIST. OUR YES.

Already have the perfect piece of property? Let’s build the house that belongs on it.

With Centennial Homes’ Build on Your Own Lot Program, custom means custom. Bring us your land, your ideas, your Pinterest board, your sketches — and yes, even the things other people have told you are “a little extra.”

We happen to like extra.

✅A scullery that keeps the real kitchen looking beautiful.
✅A temperature-controlled wine cellar.
✅An infrared sauna or cold plunge.
✅A golf simulator room.
✅A resort-style pool and outdoor living space.
✅A dressing room instead of another basic closet.
✅A laundry room that actually makes sense.
✅An elevator. A hidden pantry. A home gym. A lake-view entertaining space.

If you can dream it, ask us.

Centennial Homes is currently building in **The Preserve, Five Oaks, South Oak, Lake Martin and Smith Lake — and now on your own lot.

📞We have one remaining lot in Five Oaks and two in The Preserve

See more of our custom work on our website, then reach out and tell us what’s on your wish list.

You bring the lot. We’ll bring the possibilities.

Luxury custom pools & outdoor living for Birmingham, Lake Martin & Smith Lake.

08/12/2026

Everyone thinks about the kitchen. The primary suite. The outdoor living space.

But want to know one of the most underestimated rooms in a custom home?

The laundry room.

And today’s laundry rooms are doing a whole lot more than laundry.

We’re talking sinks, built-in ironing stations, pet nooks, serious storage, and spaces designed around how a family actually lives.

Then there are the requests we’re seeing more and more:

Sculleries that become the behind-the-scenes workhorses of the kitchen.
Dressing rooms that make a closet feel downright inadequate.
Pools built right into the overall design.
Saunas and wellness spaces.
Elevators that make a home work beautifully now and later.

Our clients come to us with some pretty great ideas.

And our favorite answer?

Yes. We’ve got you.

That’s the fun of building custom. Your home doesn’t have to work like everyone else’s. It just has to work for you.

Building a custom home should come with excitement... not surprise invoices. 😂

That's why we love turnkey pricing.

Before you sign the contract, you'll know what your home is expected to cost—so you can spend your energy picking countertops instead of worrying about your budget.

Watch Judy Beaton and Roxanne Hale, brokered by RealtySouth explain why turnkey pricing has become a favorite among custom home buyers.
