" We p l edge t o you c ommi tmen t , qua l i ty , s e r v i c e ,

va lue and a p l easan t home bu i l d ing expe r i enc e ."

FOUNDED IN 1992 by the Nanula family, Essex Homes of WNY set out to redefine customer service, quality and value. We have spent the last 25 years building our reputation for excellence and earning the respect of our customers and peers as a premier home builder. We continue to strive to be a leader in the industry and more importantly, with our customers.

Utilizing the 125+ years of combined experience offered by our team of professionals, the firm has built more than 1,500 homes across the Erie and Niagara regions in communities such as Amherst, Aurora, Clarence, Grand Island, Hamburg, Lancaster, Orchard Park and Wheatfield. These include upscale and moderately priced single-family homes, patio homes and one and two-story villas ranging from 1,800 to over 5,000 square feet.

“Essex is VERY customer-focused. All of our interactions with the entire Essex team have been extremely positive at each point of the decision-making process, even when we made some challenging decisions. We built a home before with another builder and Essex clearly does a better job.” - Tony Casciano

Philip J. Nanula, president of Essex Homes, credits the continued success of his locally owned

and operated firm to an unwavering dedication to its mission statement:

“We pledge to you commitment, quality, service, value and a pleasant home building experience.”

Over the years, Essex Homes has been recognized with numerous awards and honors on the local, regional and national levels for its building expertise as well as its charitable contributions. These include recognition by Builder magazine on its “Fast Track Hall of Fame,” list and being named “Builder of the Year” by the Niagara Frontier Builders Association. The firm has also achieved consistent placement among the top five home builders in Western New York as ranked by Buffalo Business First since 1993. Camp Good Days and Special Times, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children with cancer and their families, awarded the “Spirit of Teddi Humanitarian Award,” one of the highest community honors, to company president, Philip J. Nanula, in recognition of outstanding dedication and service to the organization.

“Our previous home was built by Essex and we had been asking for years when they would build patio homes. They finally made the decision to build Essex Greens at Waterford and we couldn’t have been happier. After living here a little over one year, we’d have to say that we made a great decision!” - Joe & Diane Rey

“From helping us in our selection of a home design to discussing the features we wanted, nothing was left to chance. The designers and contractors you gave us to work with were top-notch and we never felt any pressure to make certain selections. Everyone offered helpful suggestions based upon their experience and they helped us to decide on what was right for us. If we ever decide to do it again we will build with Essex. Thanks for all of your help in making our dream house a reality!” - Mark & Lauri Wierzbicki

More important than design and location is the service provided to you by our team of knowledgeable professionals. Essex Homes is proud to say that many members of its own team, as well as each of the firm’s principals, was at one time a customer. This unique perspective allows us to truly anticipate and understand your needs as a home buyer. In addition, our in-house design staff enables us to modify any of our more than 50 home plan designs to suit your needs and lifestyle. We can also design a custom home just for you.

You can rest assured that all of the trade partners, subcontractors and vendors working on your Essex Home represent the “best of the best.” We work with major manufacturers offering name brands you know and trust including Andersen®, Homecrest™, Kohler®, Lennox®, PPG Paints™, Tyvek®, Whirlpool® and many others.

At Essex Homes, the customer always comes first. That commitment to service is demonstrated in several ways.

Essex Homes has established comprehensive Customer Selection Centers across the area to provide a personalized experience where customers can work alongside a professional selection coordinator to view, touch and select quality materials and brands for their new home.

Our professionally decorated and fully furnished Model Centers located across Western New York provide prospective home buyers with the opportunity to walk through some of our most popular home plan designs complete with appliances, carpeting, lighting fixtures and other amenities. Here they can begin to visualize the potential for their own Essex home.

Our website, www.essexhomeswny.com allows you to easily and clearly view all that we have to offer without leaving the comfort of your own home. Learn more about our history, the many home plan designs we offer and the various communities available in which to build your new home. All of this information is grouped into user-friendly sections enabling you to easily view our model homes, obtain information on floor plans, square footage, price ranges, elevations, images of similar homes and community maps. We even offer a convenient mortgage calculator to help you with your budget!

One of the most important features of our website is the Available Homes section. Here you can view all current homes available for purchase, including those that are under construction, completed or move-in-ready. You can also take comfort in the testimonials provided by our many valued customers, further demonstrating the trust we have earned and the long-term relationships we have built over the years.

A Home Buyer’s Guide is provided to all Essex customers and offers a complete overview and explanation of the home building process from legal and financial issues to the selection and construction process. This guide provides useful selection forms, specifications, references, relocation resources and more. Upon closing, all homeowners receive an A-Z collection of manuals and warranties providing a valuable and organized resource of information for all components of their new home.

Our exclusive Triple 24 Buyer Protection Program is, we believe, the best in the business. It offers a 24-hour service hotline for your questions and concerns and a response within 24-hours, providing peace-of-mind for all of our customers, 24-hours a day.
