The process
From lot
From lot
to legacy.
A single, unhurried process led by people you’ll recognize on the job site — from the first sketch to the moment you hand the key to the next generation.
01 · Discovery
Lifestyle & lot
We walk the land with you. Views, sun, neighbors, grade. Before we draw, we understand how you’ll live in it.
02 · Design
In-house drafting
Our drafting team turns notes into plans — refining layouts to eliminate wasted space and the expenses that follow.
03 · Build
Skilled craft
Long-tenured crews the Delagranges have worked with for decades. Quality that doesn’t depend on the price tag.
04 · Aftercare
Years, not weeks
John Hoffman is your point of contact during the build — and long after you’ve moved in.
“Colonial Homes could not have been more professional.”— Tony & Peggy Restivo, Homeowners
