Get started

1. Initial consultation

Your sales representative from Hemlock Homes will help you choose or custom design a home with a floorplan to fit your unique lifestyle and ensure it will work with your homesite. If you do not currently own the lot, we can also discuss which homesites you are considering.

2. Financing

If you have not already received a pre-approval with an approved lender, we would be happy to introduce you to our preferred lenders. Well known for their experience in new construction and vast knowledge of the up-to-date loan programs available today and with decades of experience in the Pittsburgh market, they are committed to saving you time, money, and energy while guiding you through the financial process associated with a new home construction loan.

3. Design Session

Once we have narrowed down the perfect floorplan to meet your unique and personal preferences, you will meet with our one-on-one design selections coordinator and have the opportunity to personalize each important detail to finalize your design and turn it into a home.

4. Architecture

You have found your floorplan, you’ve personally selected the individual fine details, you’ve agreed on the layout, and it's time to make the plan official. We will submit your design to the engineers to obtain your stamped, custom blueprint that you will own and be able to take home.

5. Construction Agreement

Once your plans are returned from engineering, we will meet to review and walk you through room by room, allowing you to ensure it is laid out on paper as you envisioned in your mind. At this time, we would be able to finalize your pricing by executing a construction agreement. You will leave our office with confidence knowing you are on your way to owning a uniquely customized and energy efficient home designed specifically to meet your needs and style preferences.

6. Building Process

From this point forward, we will guide you through construction by keeping you up to date with weekly progress emails as well as providing you access to daily construction logs in our online software, Buildertrend. Then finally, we will meet with you to hand you the keys to your beautifully designed, brand-new home!
