Design Homes, Inc.
Quality Factory-Direct Homes Since 1966
Design Homes has always had a policy of building the best home available. We build to the same state code as a "stick-builder," and use the same materials, techniques, and suppliers that a carpenter would use. We generally exceed the specs of all other homes.
