Schumacher Homes mixes great craftsmanship and materials in a way that’s both economical and artful. With your home being one of the largest investments you can make, it makes sense to listen when someone says they can do it with value. And value is a word that should not be taken lightly when it comes to building your home.

The Normandie

Welcome to the next edition of our popular series of the best Western Pennsylvania builders. We are proud to feature some of the region’s most talented builders each issue, and the feedback from the members of the Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh has been incredible.

Western Pennsylvania is blessed with a number of talented builders. Fortunately, our region’s housing industry is more stable than other areas who are experiencing downward trends. In fact, many builders in our region are actually thriving.

One of these builders is Schumacher Homes. Schumacher takes a new approach to custom homebuilding. They combine custom and value in a way that makes each home they build special. “Value and custom are two words you’d never expect to see in the same sentence in our business,” says Paul Schumacher, owner of Schumacher Homes. “We are proud of how we give our clients a wonderful custom home that comes with an incredible value.”

The Builder
When you choose someone to build your home, it’s important to make sure you choose a builder who you’re comfortable with. At Schumacher Homes, you have a builder that has the talent and ability to build the house of your dreams at a reasonable price. “Most custom homebuilders want you to believe that building a new custom home – one that meets the customer’s wants and needs at a reasonable price – is impossible,” says Paul Schumacher. “At Schumacher Homes, we disagree. We are proud of the fact that we build homes in ten states, and all at the best value possible.”

How can they do this? They do it by using their purchasing power from multiple projects in many states and passing that savings along to you. “We get the best prices, the best crews, and the best results. We deliver quality construction and award-winning design at an exceptional value and price per square foot that no one else can match,” added Mary Schumacher-Becker.

Schumacher Homes is one of the largest family-owned custom homebuilders in the nation. The home they chose to feature is one of their Masterpiece Homes. Created by Paul Schumacher, Masterpiece Homes is their flagship collection of homes. This new collection includes features that are anything but standard, with amenities like soaring ceilings, granite countertops, Wood-Mode kitchen cabinetry and Viking appliances.

Defining features include hip and gable roofs with varying eave heights; steep, high-pitched roofs, arched windows, rounded dormers with curved heads and ornamental detailing. Exterior materials include stucco, stone and brick.

The Normandie has 4,960 square feet; three bedrooms, including a gracious “owner’s retreat,” an inviting guest suite, four and a half baths, a first-floor media room, dramatic beams in the grand salon, a tranquil screened porch, and two stone fireplaces, all of which add to its warmth and charm. Vaulted ceilings and a three-car garage add to the appeal of this spectacular home.

Schumacher’s motto is, “Masterpiece Homes by Paul Schumacher – the custom home of your dreams at a price you never dreamed possible.”
