Kaufman Homes has always aspired to go above and beyond any industry standards regarding warranties.
As a part of our commitment to excellence and our desire to always "do the right thing", Kaufman Homes has consistently fixed problems for our customers beyond our expressed (industry standard) 1 year limited warranty. Our long history of service and positive feedback from our many customers has given us the confidence in our workmanship, services, and what we build, to extend our present 1 year limited warranty to a 5 year limited warranty.
The Personalized Design Process
Everyone enjoys talking about a new home or addition they’re planning, and most people have definite ideas about what they like. But, there’s much more to designing a living environment than simply arranging rooms. The first step to successful design begins with the ability to listen to you, the client. Our design team at Kaufman Homes will visualize space within a proposed design, and then explore that space with you to make sure it meets your desired expectations. A visit to the site and site analysis is prepared, a written program is developed and a budget range is discussed. Not only are there aesthetic issues - form, scale and balance - but also, structural design and code requirements which the building designer must consider. Expect us to translate your vision into a design that works in harmony with your lifestyle. This process applies not only to custom homes and commercial contstruction, but also to home remodeling and to some extenent home repair.
