We have worked with Hemlock over the last year to build our dream house. Everything about the process was great, they were very up front on pricing and timing. We got regular updates on the house progress and all the work turned out amazing. Highly recommend for anyone building a new home.

Could not have asked for a better company or people to work with! They take the “family” aspect to a whole new level! They exceeded expectations from start to finish. When it comes to Hemlock they’re not just building a house, they’re building a home! ????

The process was amazing from start to finish. Hemlock was so easy to work with and they really do treat you like family. The ability to customize everything from start to finish is top notch and even now that the house is complete they are always willing to help and answer questions. Would highly recommend!

Hemlock Homes completed our new construction home build in June 2025. We started our process of searching and researching (for months) for a custom home builder beginning in the Summer of 2023, signed with Hemlock Homes in Spring of 2024, and broke ground July 2024. We presented Bryan with a drawn-out floor plan idea on a literal piece of paper and within a few days it was in 3-D form, ready to tweak to our liking and be built with our hand-picked selections. Our team consisted of Bryan, Ryan, Steve, Bob, Dave, Corey, Stephanie, Mark, Sarah, Taylor, and Clint - plus all of the wonderful subcontractors. We cannot thank them enough for building our top-notch forever home. The detail, the effort, and the dedication into this project truly shows and we are proud to live in our Hemlock Home. We absolutely recommend Hemlock Homes for your custom build.

This team is absolutely outstanding. The first time we met them we gave them an idea in which we wanted and they made it happen. The quality of work in which they do is above and beyond. They take pride in their work and it shows.Its not just a job to them. We had excellent communication with everyone on the team. They were ALL so friendly and knowledgeable. We are so pleased that we went with them to build our home. We never felt rushed in making a decision. They guided us thru every step of the way.

Apparently, I'm not allowed to add a 2nd review. We've been in our home for over 2 years now, and we've had some issues pop up here and there. I will say Hemlock has been extremely responsive on every question, inquiry and service request. Typically, Bob or Ryan are out here within a week and we have a solution identified shortly thereafter. Just amazing post build customer service. I cannot state that enough. There has never been a debate. We still tell everyone if we had to do this all over again, we would choose Hemlock.

Original Review:
In the Pittsburgh area, you are extremely limited with affordable new build home choices, let’s say $300-500k to simplify the market and rule out Eddy and Infinity homes type builders. I’d compare Hemlock against builders such as Maronda, Ryan, Heartland, Wayne and Schumacher. We have built with Maronda twice and been involved with friend’s builds with Ryan. With those builders, you will be in a plan, and will have a cookie cutter type houses and limited property. You will have minimal structural flexibility, and they will over charge you to death for finishing touches.

Looking to move out of a plan and get a truly customized house we did our research with Wayne and Schumacher over two years. We even did meet with Hemlock once briefly. Wayne and Schumacher have some great floor plans. Just like Maronda and Ryan, everything is an upgrade, adding big money to get some nicer touches. Wayne and Schumacher will say they offer a truly customized home, and yes that is true. You can move walls, add rooms to their existing floor plan at a cost. Another thing is they will only manage the construction of your home. You as the owner are responsible for land prep, permitting, drainage, driveways, utilities, landscaping etc. Lots of hidden details and fees here when you really look into your municipality requirements. I can’t remember with Wayne, but I know Schumacher would do it for you at a price. After thoughtfully giving up the idea of being a general contractor for all exterior needs, we went back to Hemlock.

Hemlock offers a turnkey product. They do EVERYTHING. Permitting, utilities, landscape, driveway. This is the one thing they do that’s like buying in a plan with Ryan and Maronda. Just sign the contract and everything is handled by the builder. Pricing was very simple as well. There was a set price per square foot for a ranch, and another for two story. This was not like Wayne and Schumacher. They have different prices for different plans, and the sq ft price never aligned from one plan to another. With Hemlock, no matter the layout of the house, you knew your base sq ft cost before you did anything else. Hemlock offers a completely customized home. You could bring a plan from the internet as a starting point or use one of their previous plans from other builds if it aligns with your needs. For us, with land limitations and specific layout needs in that space, I drew out my plan myself and Hemlock took it and ran with it!
So that’s the quick comparison.

• Issues: Hemlock was very quick to address mid-build issues. If we had a concern or request, they were on it. They were also quick to address our new neighbors’ concerns, and even took down a dead tree on the property line at no cost. Post build, we had a few service issues pop up, all very minor, but they were addressed very quickly, sometimes next day.

In closing, if you come from Maronda and Ryan, you will be blown away by the difference. If this is your first home, or first new build, the sky is the limit. We are very happy with the home that they have built us. We would definitely build with Hemlock again.
