2. What future areas will you
be building in?
FoxRidge located in Lubbock Cooper ISD is opening this summer
2006, and Preston Hollow located in Frenship ISD is due to open
in 2007. We also have other areas under negotiations. We are
always growing. We believe that our future is very bright with
plans for the next twenty years in Lubbock County, Texas.

3. Why do you not display your
house plans?
All of our plans have come to us from original thinkers. Over
the years we have personalized homes into very special and very
desirable plans. History has shown that good plans are often
copied quickly and spread around. We feel it is to our customer’s
benefit not to show a basic house plan, but rather deliver as
many plans as a client may need when they come to visit one of
our model homes.
Since we more often than not modify a plan to meet the needs
of our client, we are much more able to assist in structural
suggestions, design suggestions, and personal modifications.
In person, we are willing to give our client the attention and
knowledge to show that we truly care about their design ideas,
and we want to share our knowledge to develop the best home for
their family and their personal needs.

4. What size of home do you
build?
There is no defined number that we can share with you. At present
we offer over 100 floor plans starting at about 900 square feet,
and the largest home built recently is over 9000 square feet.
We create tear sheets for homes up to approximately 3600sq. ft.
Above that our clients are rather private and specific. We service
all sizes. The smaller homes are much more conventional. The
larger they get the more specific a customer’s needs are.
We strive to remain flexible and willing to look at the modifications
brought to us to consider.

5. How does Heritage Homes compare
in price to other builders?
When you are comparing our product to the product of our competition,
you can see that those brand x companies do not stand up as well.
The wise home shopper is our best customer because they can see
the value and quality in our homes. We are home owned and operated
with a lot of buying power that allows us to regularly pass on
savings to our clients. The money you save and the quality that
you receive as a Heritage Homes customer will ultimately speak
for itself.

6. How does Heritage Homes compare
in price to existing homes?
When you compare what you get with an existing home to that of
a new home, the money is always in your favor to buy a new home.
It’s new, it’s your colors, and it has not been lived
in before. You select the neighborhood, the home site, and you
get to work with one of the most educated staffs in the building
industry.

7. Can you help me obtain financing?

to assist you with your financing. Look at our Preferred
Lenders page.

8. Do you provide warranties
for your homes?
Heritage Homes offers an industry-leading 3-tier warranty in
addition to the manufacturer warranties on the products installed
in the home.
1. First year: The entire home is warranted for all material
and workmanship.
2. Through year two everything is warranted that is connected
and mechanical in the walls of your home (i.e. plumbing, wiring,
and HVAC)
3. Through year ten the structure of your home is warranted.

9. How long does it take to
build a home?
We usually can complete the home in about four to five months
depending on the complexity of the job. Basement homes always
take a bit longer.

10. What is the Friends of
the Builder Program?
The “Friends of the Builder” Program is an incentive
program that helps people find us, especially if a buyer is referred
by someone who already owns a Heritage Home, someone who is one
of our Subcontractors, or by someone that is a supplier of our
Home product. It’s a very simple way to show both interest
in our friends and support for those looking to purchase with
Heritage Homes. Please take a moment and look at Friends
page.

11. Do you work with real
estate agents?
Yes, we do. Several Realtors have chosen us to build their personal
homes. Please take a moment to look at our Realtor page.
It will explain how we do business with Realtors.

12. What if I need to sell
my home first?
We can help. We have great relations with a Realtor that can
do a market evaluation, determine the value on the market and
list your property. We even have a trade in program that is a
specific and valuable tool to the client needing to sell their
existing home.

13. How do you name your plans?
We use the square footage of the heated and cooled area of the
home as our plans name. We have found that it is more informative
to our customers than an unrelated name.

14. Do you support any charity
work?
Yes, we actively support several charitable organizations. Since
our work is so family oriented we have several special places
we provide our support. Children must be a major part of our
giving. Food, shelter, security, physically challenged, child
identity, and Christian outreaches telling the story of the life,
death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are among the current
charities we support.

15. When did you begin in
business?
Our experiences for knowing the business began in 1975 for all
partners, so our building experiences began a lot earlier than
the physical beginning of Heritage Homes in 1993. Our success
continues to expand because of our commitment to our customers.
When you consider the owners time in the business, the experience
of construction with our construction management, and the level
of knowledge with our sales people, we have well over 150 years
of building experience.

16. Are there homes available
that are complete and ready to be occupied?
Yes, we have several distinct homes ready for immediate move-in
that are located in our different communities. We try to keep
a few homes ready or near ready for people that require homes
immediately. The largest percent of our customers choose to select
and personalize their plans and then build the home to meet their
own needs rather than settle for one that has been predetermined,
but with our impeccable taste we never have color co-ordination
problems, our homes are ready to move in and that helps to satisfy
many of our clients needs.

17. Can I trade in my current
home?
We do have a trade in program that allows us to trade in your
existing home for a new home. Please contact our sales manager,
Don Lynn for information regarding this very special offer.
back to top
18. Where will you build homes?
We build almost anywhere in Lubbock County especially if you
are working with us to build your plan, or our plan, on your
land. We also have city lots in several neighborhoods already
owned by us. Our desire is to build you the most spacious home
possible in any of our existing subdivisions.
