The Porchfront Philosophy
A Porchfront Home is a home like the one you grew up in or wish you had. It's the house that all of the neighbor kids always seemed to be hanging out at, the place where you could play in front, in back, upstairs or down. The place where grownups found a retreat from tough days and where they welcomed the weekends. There's one word that sums up this special place.
Home. Sounds simple doesn't it? But when we talk about a Home we aren't talking about building houses. It's different than that. We're talking about building a place where families are comfortable, safe and happy. Where rooms flow into one another and are full of useable space. Where the neighborhood looks great before the landscaping goes in. As you can imagine it takes a great deal of thought and effort in design to build a Home.
When we build a Porchfront Home for you, we aren't just adding to a collection of houses - we're building a community. Places where people know each other and a neighborly chat across the porch rail is a way of life. We design our homes to blend to create a neighborhood. Designs that consider how families live and what makes them comfortable. Quality designs that turn a house into a home with features like big front porches, comfortable great rooms, warm studies and fabulous kitchens. At Porchfront Homes, Quality is an attitude and a state of mind. It's what brings our management team to every house, every day that it's in construction. Quality is never looking to cut corners, but always looking for better ways, better products and better values. Quality is what makes us think of each home as one that our family is going to live in. And your family is going to be happier in a Porchfront Home for it.
We build your home to provide you with years of comfort and reliability. And we stand behind what we build, we take pride in our work and that means added security for you.
If you open up the walls of your house you would find things like engineered wood flooring systems, wood I-joists and glulam lumber. To us this means quality, environmentally sound products and stronger houses. To you it means larger open spaces, and a quieter, more secure and comfortable house.
