The Hoffmann Strobel Philosophy

Quality In craftsmanship and materials is what every homeowner expects and demands in their new home and that's what Hoffmann-Strobel Builders delivers. With their 50 years experience in the home building business, Tom and Jim know about the quality of materials and workmanship, which they expect and demand in the homes they build.

They know about the grain in the woods and which type of wood is best for your floors, cabinets, banisters, rails, trim and doors. They also know about the structural elements of your home, the rebar in the concrete, the grade required for the storm drainage and the 1,001 other items that enter into the construction of your new custom home. If the materials and workmanship don't meet the highest standards and specifications that have been established for their homes, then it does not become part of your home.

Excitement and imagination are two characteristics that are emphasized when Tom and Jim sit down with you and your architect to design your new home. Most of the homes they build are custom designed for their clients.

The building lot may determine how your home should be designed, and an on-site meeting can be done with you and possibly your architect to begin the process. The house may need to be shifted on the lot to take advantage of the morning sunshine coming through your breakfast window, a deck expanded to take advantage of the view over the Lake, or the grading plan revised to take advantage of additional windows in your lower level.

Their years of experiences can help Jim and Tom show you how additional touches can be built into your home be designing multi-levels, lofts, higher ceilings, or different types of exterior materials such as stone, stucco, brick or all-weather siding.

An interior decorator is also available to assist with your decision making process to personalize your home. She can guide you in the selection of finishes and textures on your walls, countertops choices and kitchen options, lighting and plumbing fixtures and all those other decisions which simplifies the process for you.
