As a Pennsylvania homeowner, you can choose from a wide variety of places to build your new custom home. So what makes building in the Poconos such a good idea?

What are the first things you think about when you’re considering building a custom home in the Poconos?

Anyone considering building a custom home in the Poconos will be faced with a tough question: Does paying more guarantee you’ll get better quality?

There is perhaps no single element that influences the look and feel of a family room or living room as much as a fireplace. A fireplace provides a strong focal point for a room and exudes warmth (both visually and physically). It invites intimacy and conversation.

We’ve been building custom homes in the Poconos region for almost 40 years. One thing clients always want to know before deciding to build a new home is what it’s going to cost.

You’ve no doubt heard that building a house is probably the single largest personal investment you’ll ever make. And whether you’re considering building a new family home, a vacation home or retirement home in the Poconos, you’ll be facing a substantial bill.  

One of the great things about living in the Poconos is being out in nature. That’s one reason several of the floor plans we offer (such as the Lakewood II and the Summit) include decks that allow you to enjoy your beautiful Poconos surroundings—even as you relax at home! 

Sometimes you can’t help but wonder what our pioneering forefathers would think about all of the gadgets we have in our homes—and especially in our kitchens. But then again, most of us wouldn’t want to build a fire and boil water for our first cup of coffee each morning (unless we’re camping). 

If you’re planning to build a custom home in the Poconos or considering remodeling your existing kitchen, you want to make sure you get this all-important room right. But what does the ideal kitchen look like? If you look at popular online sites (such as houzz.com or bhg.com), you’ll see hundreds of examples of absolutely stunning kitchens. Is there a “right” way to design a kitchen? 

You can say what you want about Goldilocks; the girl knew what she wanted. She wouldn’t settle for porridge that was too hot or too cold, she wouldn’t sit in a chair that was too big or too small and she wouldn’t sleep in a bed that was too hard or too soft. She wanted things to be “just right!”
