Quality-Built homes

Detail your services

Homebuilding  evolves.  Today's construction technology has become more streamlined  and efficient and "system-built" homes are leading this evolution.  

STRATFORD  HOMES are "systems-built" homes that utilize the same building  materials and adhere to the same building codes as "site-built" homes  but employ the efficiencies and controls that can only be achieved by  building in a controlled environment.
