Love a good story? Here’s ours.

How it all began

In 1995, American Heritage Homes took root when Bill Crum and Gary Libertini, two very different yet talented friends, forged a lasting partnership.  Gary, equipped with a degree in Architecture and a panache for design, harbored a dream of venturing into home building. His dedication lies in crafting unique custom homes, each tailored to its owner’s lifestyle.  Meanwhile, prior to crossing paths with Gary, Bill studied Business Management and, in the late 1980s, constructed his first home, personally overseeing ninety-five percent of the project. Every day, Bill puts his passion for enduring quality into every home, whether it involves crafting a modest starter home or a lavish million-dollar estate. With a keen eye for detail and hands-on expertise, Bill steadily grew his business as a quality custom home builder. It was through this trajectory of success that Bill and Gary’s professional paths converged, leading to the formation of American Heritage Homes Corporation, where their combined talents continue to thrive to this day.

IT’S ALL IN THE NAME

When the company was first established, Bill and Gary thought long and hard about a name. They chose American Heritage Homes because of the craftsmanship and personal dedication found in early American homes. They believe that the name – American Heritage Homes – inspires everyone involved in the construction to live up to the legacy of early American builders. There is no fanfare, streamers, or confetti patronizing our values, just hard work and dedication designed to provide our customers with the best building experience.

LOCAL, HANDS-ON CRAFTSMANSHIP

While our name sounds like it belongs to a big nationwide corporation, we are a locally owned and operated company – accountable only to our customers and not some far away board of directors or investors. In fact, as a customer, you will undoubtedly interact personally with Bill and Gary. They are hands-on in the company’s daily operations, not just names on a website. These “sticks and bricks” guys approach home building focused on the house and how it’s built. Everything that goes into each home is carefully considered for its value and longevity. At American Heritage Homes, it’s more about the house and the customer’s needs than the numbers or the bottom line.
