Built Indoors
A stick builder cannot control the weather. Humidity can be one of the most damaging problems you may ever confront. From water damage to warping. Our homes are all built indoors under a temperature controlled environment. All materials are dry and checked for warpage.
Even the best carpenter makes it fit
When a frame carpenter builds your house, how will you know if that 2X4 stud that was 1/4" too short was not installed? With a system built home they use jigs to make sure the walls are straight and square. All studs are mechanically cut to length before installation.
Faster Building Process
The average stick built home takes aprox. 6 months, depending on the size of the house. Our homes average 2 months. When the house is delivered, we will have it up in aprox. 9 hours. This is called "the rough set". Make sure you bring your video camera. Your new home is almost complete, just the way you ordered it. It's so amazing that one of our clients had aprox. 30 neighbors and drive-bys stop to see the inside.
Ever suffer from "Where's My Builder"?
An aspirin doesn't even come close to covering this one. My gosh! "My stick builder is half way through building my house, and he said he would be back 3 weeks ago and finish the kitchen, and now he won't return my calls, I have to be out of my old house by next week!" This is one of the main reasons our customers look forward to their new Va Craftsman Home.
Does the competition match the quality and price?
Check to make sure your stick builder is using quality name brand products and construction materials, and professional installers you deserve. Our homes come standard with low E tilt and wash MW windows, Oak Merillat cabinets, Delta faucets, Shaw carpeting and Armstrong Vinyl, to name a few. Does your stick builder use 30 year architectural shingles, house wrap, cultured marble counter tops, or drywall that is screwed, glued, taped, mudded, and applied with two coats of primer paint? We can guarantee that type of guality and will match prices against his any day! Not to mention speed of completion.
We have our own finish set crew
After the "rough set", there are still some things that need to be done. This is called the "Finish Set". You don't have to wait for the factory finish set crew. We have our own, and they're one of the best!
We can adjust our floor plans!
The marriage wall you can't move, but you can almost make it disappear, the rest of the house YOU build!

What does BOCA mean?
All stick (frame) builders must adhere to the national builder code referred to as the BOCA code. This code does not apply to trailers, doublewides, and houses that fall under the HUD code. The BOCA code not only applies to the builder, but also to the licensed electrician, plumber, etc. OUR homes are all pre- approved BOCA homes. When you walk into a system built home built by Virginia Craftsman Home Builders. you will immediately recognize a fine, quality built home that compares to many of the fine stick built homes you have seen in the past.
