We're easy on the eyes.

We build high-performance homes with quality craftsmanship and extensive personalization and a tremendous amount of time and effort goes into the design of our homes. The exceptional curb appeal of a Schell Brothers home is a reflection of the quality and care that goes into the home and a huge source of pride for our homeowners. You don’t need to buy a custom home to get beautiful high-end finishes and awe-inspiring spaces that fit perfectly for how you live. Schell Brothers offers numerous floorplan options, including additional bedrooms and bathrooms, living area extensions, primary luxury suites, and much more.

Durability & Peace of Mind

At Schell Brothers, we use Hardie® fiber cement siding on our homes because it is engineered to withstand tough weather while helping your home maintain its beauty for years to come with minimal maintenance.

That focus on durability and long-term value carries through every part of the home. We developed Schellter™ Advanced Building Science as part of our ongoing commitment to deliver an exceptional home worthy of the Schell Brothers name and reputation. Learn more about our patented Schellter Technology.

The Best Place to Retire? Delaware.

No income tax on retirement income. Low cost of living. A vibrant year-round community steps from the beach. It’s no wonder Delaware is consistently ranked the best place to retire in the Mid-Atlantic, and no one builds new homes here better than Schell Brothers.

We build happiness.

Our company has a very unique purpose: to maximize happiness rather than profit.

We believe that focusing on the happiness of our employees and homeowners before anything else makes us the best possible versions of ourselves and that much better at what we do. Our culture of happiness and gratitude permeates everything - it’s what keeps us smiling and coming to work each day. Our WHY is happiness. What’s yours?

We're one big family.

In the words of our friends and customers - we're building the best communities and lasting friendships. At Schell Brothers, we pride ourselves on creating communities where neighbors become friends. We love that our homeowners take pride in where they live. From community happy hours to activities and clubs, that “Schell family feeling” is fostered in everything they do. But don’t take our word for it - check out some homeowner testimonials.

While we’ve been trade partners with Schell Brothers for years, it was the quality of homes they build, the flexibility of designs, and the patience of their employees that made all the difference in our home buying experience.
