Testimonials
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.
