Bill and Terri Saint carefully translate their passion of family, sailing, and homes into their business. Running a small, single trade company with just 34 employees in total, Bill and Terri provide a personal touch in every experience.
Immediately after stepping inside, the “Solid Shut� front door closes firmly behind you turning off the outside world. Now that you have entered your custom home for the first time, you begin to navigate through each room. Every space within your home has been personally touched by you long before the home is ever finished. Your imprint is left behind from the design process, transforming your house into a home.
Practice Makes Perfect Classica Homes is a single trade builder, losing nothing in translation. Rather than using multiple companies, trusted tradesmen are enlisted in building each home. By employing a rinse and repeat method each home is better than the last and homeowners are left with a sense of security knowing seasoned professionals assembled their home.
With eight model homes sprinkled around communities in the greater Charlotte area, Classica Homes has plenty of options. With so many options, Bill and Terri find it crucial to zero in their focus on individual neighborhoods. Jetton Place only has a few lots left and Classica will soon set their sights on new projects in the region.
