Imagine Your New Home
Building a new home in the state of Pennsylvania has many facets to it, and our job is to ensure that the entire building process from start to finish is worry free for you. As a local builder in the Poconos, we take all of the necessary steps which includes all building, legal, inspection, permit and any other requirements needed. While we have our flagship Americana Home, our building process is never the same. Each home is different as we are not just a “cookie cutter” style builder. We will work closely with you throughout the building process. Many of our homeowners want to customize the interior of their home which we discuss thoroughly in the early stages. We are also unique in the fact that we also adhere to walk through requests. Many homeowners want to see their house, and many builders do not allow homeowners access during the stages of building. We are different in that we welcome and work with you to schedule walk throughs that are safely obtainable.
The Process
You can expect your home to be a 4-6 month process which can vary depending on the lot the home is being built on, as well weather conditions. Throughout the building process there will need to be inspection periods that will need to be passed to move on to the next stage. We will keep you updated throughout the process.
