Our homes showcase stunning craftsmanship, engineering and design, and we don’t stop there. To top it off, we infuse local flavor and charm into each and every home we build. Welcome Home!
We differentiate ourselves more with our culture and our hearts, than just with our craftsmanship and designs. When you shop for a new home its easy perhaps to compare nails and lumber, but we invite you to look past that and see our Human Touch — from design to construction and top-notch personal customer service.
At Severino Homes we understand that LIFE happens in the home after we build it.
Life Happens Here.
Home is where we spend our lives. We grow at home, we eat at home and create at home and sleep at home. We fall in love at home. We create life at home, we are even born at home and take our first steps at home. We live and love and age at home. And the heart of the house is YOU. We understand just how important the home we are building is to you. We just build it, but it takes you to bring it to life.
Our mission is to provide you with a home you can’t wait to LIVE life in. We provide you with this home. We provide you with your lifestyle.
“Enhancing your living experience with superior designs” – Frank Severino, builder & developer
SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION
The quality process begins with structured design and engineering. We engineer the structure to create a durable and rigid home. This structural soundness is apparent and appreciated simply by walking through the home. All structural members supporting the house are fabricated and strength rated to provide a superior building frame.
The type of materials utilized and frame structure design resists shrinking, cracking, and bending. This results in minimum home settling, drywall cracks and floor movement. We construct the homes such that all floor engineered beams and joist members and roof trusses transfer all loads directly down to the unyielding foundation. The roof construction consists of engineered, prefabricated trusses designed to withstand prevailing weight and wind conditions.
Our foundations are constructed with reinforced high strength steel and poured in place high strength concrete. Through our extensive experience we know where and how much steel to install to resist foundation settling thereby preventing drywall settling and cracking.
Before drywall is installed we thoroughly inspect all framing construction for quality, trueness of fit and dimensions for smooth application and precision of finishes. The electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems are thoroughly inspected and tested for optimum performance and proper installation by an independent third-party.
We carefully review and approve all HVAC equipment design and construction to ensure maximum air circulation and response time to heat and cool rooms.
The home’s electrical systems are carefully thought out and planned. Light fixture locations are determined to easily accommodate task functions in the living environment. Light switch locations and outlets are planned for convince and traffic flow patterns. The home’s power supply is provided not only for planned current use, but also for typical anticipated future uses.
“Our homes are designed to be aestehetically appealing, by creating an ambiance of style, elegance and contemporary living” – Frank Severino
CRAFTSMANSHIP & DESIGN
The Quality Finishes is the phase of the building process where we change our skills from engineering know-how to the aesthetics of form, texture, materials, and colors. This is where we especially pride ourselves in the building process. We begin with the fine carpentry of trim and millwork. These are details that provide functional as well as aesthetical details that create elegant and impressive homes. Also, consideration is given to the opportunity for establishing decorative area focal points.
Our kitchens are professionally designed for convenience and functional use. We treat the kitchen as the most important room in the home. There is careful attention in design to the relationship between cooking, storage, and cleaning functions so as to provide maximum convenience and efficiency.
“We consider energy efficiency and conservation as an essential when building a new home in today’s environment of constricted energy supply and escalating prices” – Frank Severino
ENERGY EFFICIENCY & CONSERVATION
Energy costs are certain to further escalate in the near future to prices not once thought possible. Energy conservation and efficient utilization are essential for securing homeownership and affordable living in the family’s home.
Existing homes are not effective in energy conservation because they were built when energy costs were very inexpensive. New homes have the advantage of having state-of-the-art energy efficiency and conservation design and construction methods available and included by good responsive builders today. Homes built today must be sensitive to the operating costs to run a household. Consider, approximately $250 per month in operating cost savings is equivalent to a $40,000 lower mortgage.

Multifamily/Commercial Real Estate
Participated in the strategic management of 135 apartments in 15 buildings and an in-fill shopping center anchored by CVS. This was an Estate portfolio managed by myself and two other family members starting in 1999 to 2014 when all assets were sold. The strategic planning involved bringing all units to code compliance, while progressively upgrading apartments while increasing rents accordingly. This was accomplished in a rent controlled environment. Apartment buildings of four units or less were extensively renovated to attain maximum value- add potential while marketing to owner- occupied investors.
All assets were sold between 2010 and 2014. The apartment’s valuation increased from $3,500,000 to a final sell-out of $12,500,000 under our management. The shopping center was sold for almost double the 1999 value and accomplished by way of a 1031 exchange. The exchange purchase was a brand new $6,000,000 CVS with a triple net lease, which is still owned by the family.
