Building a house is a major undertaking and not a job you should entrust to just anyone. Ensuring your home-building experience is one filled with pride and excitement for the future requires picking the right team — one that is experienced and dedicated.
LOOK FOR EXPERIENCE
At the helm of your dream team is the builder. This team leader is tasked with managing the construction schedule, keeping a close eye on the budget, and ensuring the quality of the finished product. It takes years to learn how to do this well.
Rode Homes Inc. of Conesus, New York, has been in business since 1991. What started out for owner Sam Rode as remodeling and renovations, expanded over the years into custom homebuilding. Today, the company is well known and respected for its quality workmanship and personalized service.
“We build more than a house. We create a home,” Rode Homes Inc. says on its website (rodehomes.com). All the experience in the world won’t get you far if you don’t have a reliable supplier, however.
EXPECT DEDICATION
Smith Lumber & Hardware Center is a second-generation company that has been a constant in the Finger Lakes area since 1954. The business has a reputation for being generous, and no one knows that better than Rode. “[Owner] Chuck Smith worked with me while I built my own home,” Rode said. “I’ve never forgotten that.” The two companies have been doing business together ever since, some 25 years. Most marriages don’t last that long!
Smith Lumber — an independently-owned member of Do it Best Corp. — has been around so long, the sales staff can practically tell you what you need before you know you need it. The company motto is, “If you need it, we have it.” That’s a trait that local do-it-yourself homeowners and homebuilders have come to expect from the business.
And if they don’t have it, “they’ll bend over backwards to get what you need,” Rode said.
Want to put them to the test? Stop by the store, located at 5833 Big Tree Road in Lakeville, New York, or check them out online at smithlumber.doitbest.com.
The number of years the two companies have been in business speaks volumes for their dedication to the service industry, as well as to the community. Homeowners can feel good, too, knowing they are working with local businesses.
Rode Homes Inc. and Smith Lumber make a great team and, together, have what it takes to make your dream home become a reality.
