It saves money for our customers and it helps the environment,” Steele said. “We have built more Energy Star qualified homes than any other builder in the area.” Stevens Fine Homes’ 10-step building process is explained in advance to all customers so they will know what to expect and when to expect it.


“We can have a


home built in 120 days or less, from beginning to end,” Stevens pointed out. “Tat includes our extensive home orientation.” “We truly want all of our customers to be happy and satisfied,” he added. “It’s these things that set us apart. I can give someone outstanding value, craftsmanship and customer service. We want all homeowners to be happy at closing and
