Stone Mill is the most recent luxury home development by Whalen Custom Homes. Stone Mill began as a vacant Missouri Department of Transportation parking lot. In cooperation with the City of Wildwood, Whalen Custom Homes was able to develop this site into a 12-lot neighborhood encompassing the principles of New Urbanism utilizing environmentally friendly development methods. Stone Mill boasts unique custom architecture, spacious lots, abundant green space, and walking trails which are reminiscent of the areas’ historic character, while offering close proximity to all modern amenities. If you are considering Wildwood for your new home, Stone Mill is a wonderful representation of the quality craftmanship, design, and character Whalen Custom Homes will be bringing to Wildwood with new developments in the near future.

Mike Whalen explains the importance of having a solid foundation that should last forever. It is critical for the foundation of any luxury custom home to be properly laid so this doesn’t lead to a host of problems and costly foundation repair expenses down the road for the homeowners.
Mike Whalen explains the importance of soil testing for your new custom home and why it is needed in order to determine the composition of the soil and if it can properly support a foundation. It’s usually a necessary part of getting a building permit. If the soil is found to be loose, easily compressed, or full of absorptive clay, it does not mean that you cannot build on that soil, but it does mean that you will need extra foundation support. If extra foundation supports are not used, the expansion and contraction of the soil due to moisture content can result in cracked and crumbling foundations. When this occurs, the only fix is a costly foundation repair.
