Philosophy

We perceive building as an art. We pride ourselves on exacting craftsmanship and progressive ideas. No two Lancaster Craftsmen Builders homes are exactly alike. That’s because we design each residence to meet the needs and reflect the personality of those who will live there. As the homeowner, you are welcome to be involved in every step of the process. We take pride in our work. We choose neighborhoods we would want to live in, and we use high-quality materials and products. We hire only qualified and experienced subcontractors who meet our high jobsite standards and with whom we have long-standing relationships. Our goal is your satisfaction. We believe in building open and honest working relationships with our clients, and that means focusing on good communications. By using the latest computer technology, we can help you visualize the details of your new home and assure it meets your expectations. We’re proud that much of our new business comes from referrals from satisfied homeowners.
