Schaeffer Homes

We would like to share our experience with Schaeffer Homes during the construction of our new home. After a house fire, we initially considered rebuilding on the existing basement. However, after consulting with Christie, it became clear that a complete demolition and rebuilding was the most cost-effective option. Schaeffer offered several designs, one of which closely matched our vision. This approach provided us with a new basement, 2x6 exterior wall studs, Zip System sheathing, and engineered floor joists supported by steel beams. Once we signed the contract, Joe in sales guided us through structural selections and ensured our preferences were met. Ashley, the project coordinator, managed all interior and exterior selections and arranged off-site meetings for appliances and flooring. An

**Update since our last review in April: We could not be more thrilled with our experience building with Schaeffer. From the very first meeting through every phase of construction, the level of support, communication, and professionalism was exceptional. They stayed on schedule (exactly 6 months to the day from breaking ground to getting our keys), came in under budget, and made the entire process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Although our home was technically a semi-custom build, it truly feels like a fully custom home—without the hefty price tag. We were able to choose every detail and finish (outside of light fixtures) including how many outlets or lights we wanted in a room with the help of Schaeffer’s design team. We received a home with quality craftsmanship given the budget

We had a wonderful experience building our home with Schaeffer. Not only were we building a home for the first time, we were also first time homebuyers. Schaeffer guided us every step of the way and made the process as easy as possible. From finding buildable land to designing our home, there were so many decisions to be made and everyone was super knowledgeable. Even when we encountered bumps in the road, Schaeffer stepped in and was incredibly helpful. Our project manager, Maria, was top notch. Truly made the building experience fun and exciting. We love our new home and couldn’t be happier we chose Schaeffer!

I initially left a five-star review because I was truly thrilled with my new construction home, and I still want to emphasize that our project manager, Maria, was absolutely amazing throughout the building process. She was responsive, kind, and wonderful to work with. At the beginning, we were extremely happy with Schaeffer and the quality of our home. However, I now feel I must update my review due to several issues that surfaced after we moved in, along with the level of follow-up, the repeated oversights, and what feels like corners being cut during repairs. 1. Basement Leak Due to Drilled Pipe
During our first week in the home, we noticed dripping in the basement. Initially, I was told that since water was not “pouring out,” it was not urgent. After multiple follow-ups, someone finally

This was our first time building a new home. The process took around eleven months. Schaeffer has plenty of floor plans to choose from. Our sales person Ashley was very professional and by the book. She made our experience go smoothly. Our contractor Jason was awesome. Building a home can be expensive. I understood why some of their fees were in place for customers who change their minds a lot. The only thing I can honestly say is sometimes communication was lacking with emails, text, and phone calls. In the end, our home was perfect.
