There are a few things in life that you want to be able to count on. One of them should be a quality homebuilder. After all, home is the one place that belongs only to you. Ever since we built our first home in 1963, we’ve learned that earning your business is about more than just quality construction. It’s about community, making memories, nurturing a family, and growing and shaping the future. It’s the extra special touches that have always helped Chaffey Homes stand apart. We take the time to do things right. We guarantee every home with our own comprehensive warranty, and our reputation for customer service is one of the best in the industry. You can count on it.

Homebuilding has been a very important part of my life. I grew up building homes with my father and brothers during the summers when he wasn’t teaching high school English. I learned early on how important it is to stand behind your work and deliver a quality home. I’ve carried lumber, dug trenches, pounded nails, roofed… you name it. This has given me such valuable experience in dealing with all aspects of construction. I am very proud to be a part of Chaffey Homes for the last 14 years. -

In opening the Arizona Division for Chaffey Homes, my most important business proposition was incorporating the same core philosophies that guide the Seattle operations; building quality homes that reflect the needs and lifestyles of our homeowners, becoming an active and contributing member of the community, and creating a positive work environment because our employees are the face of the company within the community. While our Arizona homes look nothing like the Washington State homes, you’ll find that our homebuyer experience has followed the lead of one of the best in the business.
