SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Changing Lives... ONE HOME AT A TIME. I t’s not every homebuilder that can say it changes lives with every home built, but it certainly is the case for local family-owned patio homebuilder Scarmazzi Homes. Recently ranked as Pittsburgh’s 7th Largest Single-Family Homebuilder, Scarmazzi Homes has provided over 500 single-level, low-maintenance patio homes to those looking for a more carefree lifestyle in the Pittsburgh region. “We don’t simply build homes,” says Lisa Scarmazzi, who owns Scarmazzi Homes along with her husband Paul, both Canonsburg natives. “We create vibrant neighborhoods where our residents form new friendships, connect with peers, and have more time to do the things they want to do, not have to do.” The patio homes in each Scarmazzi community range in size from approximately 1,500 to 2,800 sq. ft. All models feature a sun-filled open floor plan, two bedrooms, two full baths, a den in select models, and an oversized garage—all on one floor. A second floor or basement is optional, providing an additional bedroom, bath and living area. With the introduction of more free time, residents can also take advantage of outdoor living. “Our private courtyards, which come standard on every home, provide another living area for relaxation and entertaining. The interiors wrap around these outdoor living rooms and provide natural light and courtyard views from all areas of the home,” explains Scarmazzi. A private clubhouse with pool and fitness center is featured in many of Scarmazzi’s developments. Outdoor services include mowing of grass, seasonal mulching, edging of beds and snow removal to the front door. “We truly provide a ‘lock and leave’ scenario for those who travel or live away other times of the year. And for those who don’t…there is always a book club gathering, poker game or Happy Hour going on in the clubhouse!” says Scarmazzi. Along with transforming the lives of residents, Scarmazzi Homes is committed to making a difference in the lives of others. Through the company’s Give-Back program, a donation is made on behalf of every new homeowner annually to a local charity, and this year, the City Mission was presented with a $4,900 donation on behalf of the residents who moved into their new homes in 2019. In addition, Scarmazzi Homes is an annual Corporate Sponsor of City Mission, aided in the design and fundraising for City Mission’s newly renovated Avis Arbor Women with Children’s shelter, provides scholarships to graduating seniors entering a post-education trade school, is a financial partner in the construction of a new trade school in Haiti, and is a presenting sponsor for Canonsburg’s Old-Fashioned Christmas celebration. “We view our business as a platform to make a difference and give back,” says Scarmazzi. Through Guild Quality, a third-party customer surveying company for the homebuilding industry, Scarmazzi Homes has consistently been awarded the Guildmaster designation for its unparalleled customer service. In addition, 95% of Scarmazzi Homes customers would recommend the company to others looking for a new home.
