Custom Home Construction - Brendon T. Warfel Construction

Custom Homes

Quality - Experience - Dedication

HOME BUILDERS YOU CAN TRUST

Creating generic floor plans to give all customers the same easy-to-build house is not how we became one of the most respected builders in Delaware. Brendon T. Warfel Construction approaches building custom homes with best practices that result in beautiful, quality homes that last a lifetime.

Our team of experienced designers, architects, and staff will work closely with you, regardless of budget, to guide you through the construction process to ensure your vision becomes reality. Superior craftsmanship, expertise, and dedication are what sets us apart from the competition.

Home Builders You Can Trust

We take pride in our custom home designing process. Connecting with you to develop a truly personal home for your family’s needs. No two families are the same, and no two houses should be the same. Creating generic floor plans to give all customers the same easy-to-build house, is not how we design our homes. Having the capability to both design, and build your home all in house, is incredibly beneficial for you because of the simple communications between the designing process, and building process.

Superior craftsmanship, expertise, and dedication is what sets us apart from the competition. We focus on delivering quality, durable, energy efficient homes to our customers, with a professional home building experience. We help our customers achieve the home of their dreams, and we go the extra mile to make sure your vision comes to reality. When you are thinking of your new custom built home, we keep your best ideas and budget in mind and work with you! We never falter in the level of quality or craftsmanship we provide including competitive pricing.

Brendon T. Warfel Construction, Inc. utilizes “Green Building” materials in all of our new construction and renovation projects. We create environments that conserve energy and utilize environmentally responsible building materials while still designing a custom home that is comfortable.

In general, Green Building improves indoor air quality, health, and the productivity of its occupants. Green materials last a longer time, require fewer resources to develop and are usually more aesthetically pleasing. Resale values of Green Building are usually greater than those that are conventionally built.

We strive to create an environment to protect workers, clients, visitors, and the general public from injury. We perform routine safety audits of work sites, conduct regular safety meetings with trade contractors and certified medical professionals, and our personnel engage in regular safety training. We also meet with all new contractors before they enter our job sites to explain safety goals and activities.

We develop comprehensive procedures for each project to ensure the safe construction and occupancy of the facility and surrounding operations. All individuals who enter the site must comply with OSHA regulations.

Testimonials

Your company and employees treated us great every step of the way. From the day I met you and Steve to stake the house out, to the first day Derek and his crew showed up to start framing, to Mike and his crew doing trim, to John finishing the punch list, it went very smoothly. You and your staff were very patient and so willing to work with us when we wanted to make changes. When we received our Certificate of Occupancy on April 25, 2007 (before the time you originally stated) we were overly impressed.

Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Reynolds

I want to personally thank you for the wonderful job you did in constructing our Milford Grotto Pizza Restaurant. From my past experiences with our construction projects, I was extremely impressed with the professionalism that you and your crew brought to the project. It was a breath of fresh air for me to have a project go so smoothly and with great results. You are now a part of my Grotto Pizza family and look forward to other projects with you in the future.

Dominick A. Pulieri
