Trusted Custom Home Builders in Pittsburgh, PA

We typically service areas in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, within a radius of about 60 miles. Sometimes, with special circumstances, we can build outside that radius. It depends on a number of factors - such as current construction backlog, availability of contractors in your area, access to your site, and other issues. We can fill you in with more details during a conversation and once we know where the lot is located.

Yes, our modules are manufactured in a factory located within 90 miles of Pittsburgh. We also use local contractors and local materials so that jobs stay in the Pittsburgh area.

For heating, we use 98 percent-efficient, modulating, true variable speed equipment. These systems cost less to operate, and because they can ramp up or down to match the heating load precisely, they do not short cycle, which increases equipment lifecycle and drastically improves comfort. For our standard cooling system, we use air source heat pumps with VRF technology - the most efficient cooling technology available and with a SEER rating greater than 21.

We build raised heel trusses in attics that drastically increase the amount of insulation that can be installed, particularly at the eaves where insulation space is the most limited. Our standard insulation package in attics is R-60 which is more than double required by code. In the attic the incremental costs of this additional insulation easily justifies the costs, and the raised heel trusses allows the insulation to be continuous, eliminating thermal bridging.

The modules are placed on a flat-bed tractor trailer and traverse normal highways and roads. The structure of the module is very strong and able to withstand hurricane force winds. We conduct (or have done by a third party) a route survey to determine the access to the site.
