I have already recommended Schaeffer Homes to a few friends based on how quickly they can put a home up once the construction work has started. The initial phase for our specific project took about 13 months to kick start before we could actually begin any excavation work which was definitely longer than we wanted, but the speed at which they move after definitely makes up for it!

Very attentive and always responded to us promptly

I already have recommended Schaeffer to friends and family.

The team was attentive, helpful and professional. Good process, good people. They had our best interests in mind.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - VERY PROFESSIONAL and helpful, friendly staff, admire their experience , patience and recommendations in all the planning,.

I would be hesitant to recommend Schaeffer Homes as everything we asked for cost more than if we did it ourselves.

They have been good so far. I have no complaints. We are still early in the process.

I have already recommended Schaffer homes to countless friends, business associates and acquaintances. Schaffer exceeded our expectations in absolutely every category.

Many challenges in communication. Multiple turnover in project managers. No clear follow up. Overall a well built home. Happy to be done with this stressful process.

The process of building and designing our new home was made easier by Schaeffer Homes guiding us through the process to the very end

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I think we are going to end up with a better home With Schaeffer Family Homes.

Project Manager Professionalism

Project Manager Professionalism - Marcello was our project manager. He was very professional, knowledgeable, he gave us weekly updates on our build. He was very involved and eager to see our home through completion and maintained the highest of standards.

Initially I was very happy with the service that was provided by Schaeffer. Eric was the absolute best and made the build of my new home a breeze. However once the last payment has been received, the service went completely to zero. You are no longer important and it shows. I had multiple major issues with the house within weeks of moving in that required MAJOR construction to fix. It was a nightmare navigating their post build system to get repairs done. Everything falls on the owner to try and "figure it out". Not very happy.

Expertise

Expertise - Each staff member is well versed in their roles. I especially need to call attention to their real estate agent Josh Adams who helped me find the land to build my dream home on. He was able to help me navigate all of the red tape involved with taking raw land and making it into a buildable site. To say this can be overwhelming would be an under statement. His knowledge and expertise was intrical to the entire process. I am forever grateful.

Schedule

Schedule - The house took closer to 12 months to finish as opposed to the planned 7 but I'm not sure if that's a reflection on Schaeffer as opposed to the times and circumstances. Covid effected everything.

Construction Quality

Construction Quality - I am happy with how things turned out. I am living in my new home but there are a few items that still need to be handled but so far Schaeffer has been excellent to work with in getting things done.

Project Manager Professionalism

Project Manager Professionalism - I can not praise Eric anymore than I already have. He is worth his weight in gold. He's extremely knowledgeable and is just an amazing awesome person to work with. I wish I could keep him. 😊

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - They have always been receptive if I brought an issue to them. Ashley has always been diligent getting things done for me and if she ever came across something she didn't know she would point me in the direction of someone who did. I can't say enough about how pleasurable it has been to work with her.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Over-all I am extremely satisfied.

Lead Source

Lead Source - Noticed their Model home on Haddonfield Berlin Road

Very likely to recommend, more involvement and customization than other builders we know of. We LOVE our home!

We are pleased with the result of our home and the quality. I have suggested them to a few close friends who are looking around.

We are having a lot of challenges trying to get pricing on simple items such a hood for the kitchen. There is one person that is responsible for getting pricing and when she travels to India everything is on hold until she gets back. While we did some customs upgrades, everything we have done has been done before. Therefore, we believe pricing should have been readily available.
Also the included options are very low grade. For example, the counter top included option is laminate not granite, the included flooring options are sheet vinyl.

The professionalism of the employees and the quality of construction would make me want to recommend Schaefer Homes to a friend.

Very much so. We vetted Schaeffer homes and compared them with other local builders. Schaeffer puts quality and customer service above all the rest. Schaeffer brings a very human element to a purchase so large. They consistently put themselves in the position of the customer. Lovely home builder to work with. No regrets whatsoever.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Overall, I think Schaeffer Family Homes is a great company. Depending on what someone is looking for, I would recommend them, depending on who is asking. For the most part, I think they did a good job.

Our building manager didn't manage much of what happened in our home. Our second floor hallway bathroom is off-level. The floor dips as you approach the vanity and my daughter stumbles every time she walks near that area. We also requested under-cabinet lighting to be installed during our selection meetings with the design team. We were recommended to just install prewiring and once moved in can easily install the lighting ourselves. This is not the case- an electrician quoted us an additional $1500 on top of what we already paid for this to be done.
