There is no doubt that adding on certain perks to a home (like maintenance-free exteriors, for instance) will definitely drive up the price of a house, right?  Well, not necessarily and in the case of our Stonehedge community, located in the heart of Carlisle PA, not at all.  In fact, residents of Stonehedge are able to enjoy an unrivaled experience living in their community since their exteriors are maintained by the HOA, which includes snow removal and lawn care, a real convenience during the winter and summer months.

But this type of neighborhood experience doesn’t have to come with a premium.  In fact, homes in this community start from the affordable $180’s and offer the same level of quality that has made S&A Homes one of the most reputable home builders in the business. Read More

What happens if you fall in love with a floor plan or home but you aren’t so interested in a specific community? Or maybe you don’t want to live in a neighborhood at all – maybe lots of acreage down a winding dirt road paints a better picture of your ideal home. For those seeking something a bit more outside the box, a solution is not far from reach.

S&A Homes’ Build on Your Lot program puts all of our available floor plans at your fingertips to build on your piece of land. While many builders may claim they do the same, no program is as streamlined or as customer-friendly as ours. The secret is that we don’t ask our customers to manage the home building project the way most new construction providers will. Instead, you will have a project manager working for you, negotiating costs and choosing the most reputable vendors to complete the work in a timely and high-quality fashion. Read More

T-minus two days until Thanksgiving! If you’re planning the big meal and are feeling stressed, just read on. We have a few how-tos on hosting a successful event for your friends and family.

Our number one tip is to not do it all alone. From decorating the house to prepping dinner to cleaning up, allot certain tasks to family members. That way, you don’t have to worry about making the beds or tidying up the kids’ rooms when you’re about to cook one of the best meals of the year.

Our second tip to you is to ask your guests to bring the sides. Does your grandma make the best sweet potato casserole? Maybe your brother has a knack for baking pies. Ask guests to bring a favorite dish. Turkey and stuffing is plenty to have cooking in your oven. Read More
