Back to the main entry way, directly ahead is an amazing two story foyer. The foyer has a beautiful wood accent wall that spans all if the way up to the ceiling and it matches the wall in the office as well as the floors throughout the home. We went to Schumacher homes yesterday, base price for the house we wanted was $199,700 after building upgrades, the price jumped to $305,000 and that doesn't even include the minor fixture upgrades we want.
We originally wanted to talk to him a couple of years ago, but he had a waiting list of clients from references - always a good sign. We originally thought we couldn't afford him, but much to our delight, we've found that we can, even with substantial upgrades. He charges a fair price and he's totally upfront about the costs with no surprises. And we'll have a quality built house, using local Amish carpenters, with custom built cabnetry and trimwork, and local building products that support the local economy.

We do have a different way of approaching the build process than most. Frankly we are trying to make it easier on the homebuyer. Lowest nightly price found within the past 24 hours based on a 1 night stay for 2 adults. Prices and availability subject to change. Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
My custom built home had a one year warranty and I never saw my builder after he was paid. The average person is ill equipped to build a home strictly from prints, without a model to see. The one we really liked the most was their Richmond II model. I didn't like the way it looked from the photos they had on their website so I hesitated going at first, but I figured I would go check it out just to give me something to do.
Inside Paul Schumacher Homes Stunning Olivia Floor Plan
I really like the layout of the Heritage B home. We have not gone into one of their models or design centers yet. My question is that if I sign with them at 177,000 (It won't be that much by the way, we have selected one of their ranch homes instead of this two story home.) Anyways, will I be expecting to pay anymore? I can see if I go over my carpet limit, etc I would have to pay more or if I wanted to add something later. My main concern is unexpected stuff such as in the post above how the guy had to pay an additional $6,000 to have gravel pored around his house. The next stop on the second floor tour are the two bedrooms.
You make the call about whether or not you want to work with a company like that. The next day, his office manager called and asked why we were upset. Told him all the details, which he obviously knew from the salesman anyway.
First Look Inside Schumacher Homes “Olivia”
You have'e mail, you have Skype, you have reps to send packages and you can fly in once a month. If they should and I would suggest they do request a proposal ,you cannot do a building on Houzz for free it is a forum, but you can get ideas and you'habe some great ones. So, yes I am 63 and have worked in many many cities. We have a conference call every Friday via Skype works great. Sometimes you have to hit the plane, but you do not know where they are,what if they were in driving distance. Did you know that some firms outsource drawings to China, we sleep they draw, we wake up drawing in e box.
When you walk in the door you get a nice greeting. I have also e-mailed them on several occasions and got a reply back in just minutes. I would like to opportunity to discuss your concerns regarding building with Schumacher Homes.
The Master Bathroom
Less choices, yes but most people can barely handle the ones they need to make. The other custom builders who did bid on our project either seemed to be one step ahead of bankruptcy court, or just didn't get what we wanted and tried to push their own agendas on us. We came really close to signing with two of them, but put on the brakes when our attorney checked out their financials and read over their stock contracts. In all, we've wasted almost two yrs trying to chase down a builder with a lot of frustration. This model is built on a hill, so the back of the home looks a little different than if it were built on flat land. The bottom level is actually the basement and the large windows in the back are the first floor of the home.
You can slightly see the accent wall in the foyer. Next to the fireplace are some amazingly huge window that let the natural light flood in the home. If you look up at the ceiling in the room there are exposed beams that match the flooring, again completely breathtaking. This room is by far my favorite in the home and is where I would probably spend a lot of my time. They do have other locations that also showcase this floor plan that are available on their website.
I met with them and the upgrades I want are easily another 100,000. Husband and wife team, inspired by their mutual love of nature, and their personal passion to embrace history and family legacy. Heading back to the kitchen and great room, we also have the dining room. There is plenty of space in the dining room for a large table and a buffet or hutch. In this model, there is a bench lining two of the three walls of the room. It is topped with granite countertops and has a large farmhouse sink built in.
There are many good, reputable builders to be found in the area around Millersburg, but sometimes they are difficult to get in touch with because they don't need to advertise. One place that I found very helpful is Keim Lumber in Charm. We went there and the very helpful people who work at the Help Desk in the middle of the store gave us a printed list of the builders they have worked with and recommend.
