Meet the Builder
John Chastain, the managing partner of J Chastain Homes, with his wife, Debbie Chastain are a home building team serving the Oklahoma City metro. John was introduced to the building trade by his good friend and mentor who taught him the ropes and got him hooked. As Oklahoma natives now entering their sixth year of building in the OKC metro, they pride themselves on the workmanship of their subcontractors and personal attention to detail they give each one of their properties and clients. Their goal is to give their clients the flexibility and control to design a home that is uniquely theirs. One of John’s favorite things about the industry is the satisfaction of starting a project and seeing it through to the finish, when he’s able to pass possession over to the buyers and provide them with a really great investment for their family.
When building a new construction home in the Oklahoma City metro, it’s important to choose a builder with experience and a track record of delivering high-quality homes.

New Construction Home Options: Spec Homes
Depending on the buyer’s preference and how involved in the home building process they want to be, J Chastain Homes offers both spec homes and custom build options for residential projects. A spec home, also known as a speculative home, is a house that a builder begins to construct before the buyer gets involved. Once the house is about 75% complete, it’s put on the market and when buyers put it under contract, they are often able to choose a few finishing touches before closing.
We take our time so that we can give our clients the attention they deserve.

This option is great for home buyers who may want to move quickly and don’t want to be burdended with having to make all the choices for the deisgn and construction of the home, but are wanting to add a little of their own twist by choosing options for items like backsplash or paint. As an added bonus, J Chastain Homes sets their spec homes apart from others in the area because the high end products that they incorporate come standard, where other builders would likely include them as an upgrade. For example, all of J Chastain Homes properties include custom built cabinets that are assembled on site and solid red or white oak floors throughout the high traffic areas.
New Construction Home Options: Custom Built Homes
Alternatively, a custom-built home is a house that is designed and constructed to meet the specific needs and preferences of a particular homeowner. A benefit of building a custom home is that you can prioritize the features and spaces that matter most to you and your family. Buyers have a lot more freedom with the customization of their home, and yet that also means they hae a lot more responsibility. With custom homes, the homeowner carries the note (mortgage) for the construction loan, rather than the builder, and are tasked with making nearly every decision about the build from the lot, customizing the house plans, and choosing all the fixtures and finishes. It can sometimes feel like a huge undertaking.
The process of building a custom home can take several months to a year, depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the home. That’s why J Chastain Homes puts such an emphasis on on working closely with their buyers throughout the building process; to ensure they stay involved in the decision-making and construction process so their home is built to their specifications and expectations. In addition, John is on site at least 3-4 times a week to confirm that things are going according to plan.
Either route you take, John and Debbie will keep you on track. John will make sure you stay in budget and are on time with your choices and Debbie can guide you through selecting the materials, finishes, and design elements that suit your style and create a cohesive look that helps bring your vision to life. They make a great team in this way.
“Building a home is personal and the builder should be walking with you the whole time.”
