Next up in Designing HOME Lifestyle’s series on featured Western PA builders is Brennan Builders, Inc. Ken Brennan started this company over 50 years ago. He, his crew and family have worked hard to establish a reputation as one of Pittsburgh’s premier homebuilders.

Brennan Builders has established a reputation for excellence over the years. Impeccable craftsmanship and a keen appreciation for customer satisfaction have been their hallmark. “No matter the price of the home, we always employ sound construction techniques and work hard to make each home unique,” says Brennan. “We know that communication is the most important factor in satisfying the customer. To make this happen, we design each home to suit the lifestyle of the client and always include the special amenities the customer desires.”

This is a wonderful story that you’ve heard many times before – a hardworking young man with a dream, making it come true here in Western PA. Ken Brennan entered into this industry as a young boy, learning masonry, plumbing, and carpentry from his uncle. After graduating from high school, he soon had his own carpentry crew. Starting out as a carpentry subcontractor, Ken attended the University of Pittsburgh, became a registered master plumber, and managed his growing business. While he was running his business, he was also raising a family. One of his sons, Bob, also grew up with a fascination for building. After attending Carnegie Mellon University and receiving a master’s in engineering, Bob returned to the business and started working along side his father. Today, the two of them manage the everyday operations of the company and meet with the clients to develop their dream home.

Building a home can be a long and tedious process. Brennan Builders understands this and works closely with you throughout the entire process to ensure your satisfaction. Using the talents of skilled subcontractors and employees, they continually create homes of extraordinary value and distinction. They accomplish this by selecting the finest skilled labor in this region. A construction team of such high caliber assures Brennan customers that quality construction is their number one priority.

There are many steps involved in building a home. At Brennan Builders, customers first meet with Bob Brennan, president, to design their house. This is the most important element for the clients, and Bob spares no effort in satisfying the customer. “Often times, this process will involve many meetings and even more revisions to make sure our plans are perfectly matched to the customer,” says Brennan.

Once the design is complete, clients meet with supervisor Brian Bieber, who coordinates the day-to-day construction process. Brian works closely with the customer to translate your dreams into reality. He explains the process of construction with you and keeps you informed on the progress of your house. This, combined with the talented and friendly support staff, helps alleviate the day-to-day pressures of building a new home.

At Brennan Builders, every home has its own inspiration and style. Some are traditional while others are modern, while still others are an eclectic mix of both styles. To develop these impressive exteriors, they draw upon elements from both the past and the present. In today’s market, the desired styles can change quickly. That’s why Brennan Builders are responsive to your concerns and listen carefully to what you want. Not only are the exterior designs creative and impressive but so are the interior amenities. “A home would be useless if the exterior is marvelous while the interior is bland,” says Bob Brennan. “We take great pride in paying attention to the details and designing their homes with exquisite architectural elements. Homes can be appointed with meticulously crafted curved staircases. Further elements can also be added to the house such as in-laid designs in the hardwood floors, custom woodwork and cabinetry, and almost anything the customer wants.”

“We live in a dynamic world,” says Brennan. “Life changes. We understand that your home is the biggest investment in your life, and that you want it to be perfect. We are flexible with you and give you time to the make the big decisions. We even understand when you need to change your decisions to make your home better suited for you. Don’t be afraid to tell us what you want, it’s your home.”

Location, quality, and value are the three most important elements to consider in buying a house. “Many people are under the misconception that you can’t get all three,” says Bob Brennan. “People believe that they must give up one of these to get the other two. Now, with most builders this may be the case, but not with our team. We build homes that are in prime locations and distinguished by both quality and value.”
