Building in Mendon
Mendon is on the quiet west side of Cache Valley, tucked against the base of the Wellsville Mountains. Lots here tend to run larger than they do closer to Logan, and the west-side position means homes look back across the valley rather than up at the bench.
What we have going in Mendon
Our Mendon build at 993 N 75 W is under construction now: three bedrooms, two and a half baths, on a .68-acre lot with views of the Wellsville Mountains and Cache Valley. It has 11' raised ceilings through the entry and living area, 9' ceilings elsewhere, oversized 8' doors on the main floor, a floor-to-ceiling rocked fireplace, and a 3-car garage. Estimated completion is Q3 2026.
How the money works
Traverse uses two contract structures, and which one fits depends on how settled your plans are. Fixed price works when the plans and selections are complete enough that the cost can be guaranteed — the price is locked and we carry the risk of overruns. Open-book cost-plus works when the scope is still moving — you see the actual subcontractor and supplier invoices plus a stated builder fee, rather than a marked-up lump sum you cannot inspect.
Either way, you get a thorough, itemized written bid before ground is broken. We do not publish a price per square foot for Mendon, because the number moves too much between a flat lot with utilities in the street and one that needs work before a foundation goes in. See our full six-step process ›
How long it takes
A typical Traverse home runs about eight months from signed contract to keys. In Mendon, the two things most likely to move that are city permitting and what the lot needs before a foundation can go in. The third is entirely yours: how quickly design selections get finalized is the most common reason a build runs long.
Every home we build comes with a one-year builder's warranty that begins at closing — if something we built or installed isn't right in that first year, we come back and take care of it. Traverse Homes is a member of the Cache Valley Home Builders Association and is entered in the Top of Utah Parade of Homes this fall.
