Originally from Livingston county, I’ve had the opportunity to live in a few different places, Philadelphia, Savannah, and London. But I always find myself coming back here, back home. This time my family and I decided to stay and build in the area. The cost of living is lower here than in some of the other places I’ve lived; the traffic is definitely much easier to navigate; everything is friendlier and more familiar–if not for those pesky NY state taxes…I’ve had the chance since coming back to help create and run a home building company that is genuinely interested in rebuilding the region one affordable home at a time. We saw a glut in this market of way over-priced spec homes or manufactured homes barreling down 390 loaded on the backs of tractor trailers. The average person was stuck somewhere between the two. And more often than not, the average person gave up discouraged on the dream of building a new home. That’s why we started Tru-Build Homes.
Tru-Build Homes is trying to redefine the entire process. We’ve mastered the technique of maximizing every last square foot, managing materials down to the last cent and getting the most efficiency from our crews. Because of this we can do custom builds starting at $50-60/ square foot. And we can offer some really cool features as standard: Exposed beams hand sawn out of the trees on your lot, 13′ cathedral ceilings upstairs, more efficient insulation techniques, more flexible shopping options.
Why here… why not try this in a more lucrative housing market? We’ve often been asked this question. Some feel that by confining ourselves to western NY we’re severaly limiting our profits and potential. Well, we think that this is the perfect area, and we’re invested in seeing the Greater Rochester region thrive. The Tru-Build program is designed specifically for the area. We take into consideration the specific needs and wants of western New Yorkers and go from there. For instance, did you know that because of the way we build our homes and the options we offer, there is a potential to cut property tax assessment in half. Also, we’ve designed plans specifically for lake cottages as we are surrounded by so many bodies of water. We’re currently working on a line of hunting cabins geared toward the Southerntier. We don’t just look at the bottom line; we sincerely look at what we can do to help re-build this region.
Help us get the western NY home building market moving.
