About The Company
The Schumacher Homes story is all about family. It’s a story of passion and pride, keeping your promises and building a legacy. A story that all started with Paul Schumacher and a single house. In the early 1990s, Paul went into the business of buying and renovating fixer-uppers. After buying, restoring and selling a few more homes, he realized there was something far more special about designing and building homes from the ground up. Paul discovered that the true vision for Schumacher Homes was in designing and building fully custom homes the way his customers wanted them. Not close to what they wanted—exactly what they wanted, at a price and quality level no other builder was delivering. This personal passion drove Paul and his family to make a commitment to building a legacy of quality and affordability from one side of America to the other, one beautiful home, one family at a time. And they’ve never looked back, building an expert, passionate team that continues to grow the business by enabling families across America to build high-quality, affordable, completely customizable homes that are as unique and special as they are. Today, Schumacher Homes, headquartered in Canton, Ohio, is America’s largest custom homebuilder, with 30+ locations and operations in 14 states across the country. Over the years, Schumacher Homes has taken the promise of an affordable, innovative, fully custom home and made it a reality for more than 20,000 families across the country. And no two of those homes are alike. Schumacher Homes has been the recipient of the National Housing Quality Award for excellence in construction standards and customer satisfaction. We are also proud to have been awarded the National Gold Winning Home of the Year and the National Gold Winning Best Digital Sales Tool/Use of Technology for our exclusive pricing system-- FrontDoor from the National Association of Home Builders.
