About Us
Quality Homebuilder for over 30 Years
S&S Homes began its journey as a custom home builder 30 years ago. Today, our family-owned-and-operated company continues its tradition of designing and building each home as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Inspired by a passion to achieve perfection, we analyze every home to make sure its space is utilized to the fullest extent. You will notice that we minimize long hallways, and pay greater attention to kitchens and master bathrooms, parts of the home that people tend to care most about.
Uncompromising Excellence and Customer Service
We work diligently to provide an attractive selection of amenities, finishes, exterior details and color palettes because we truly believe that every home should be a reflection of our customer's personal preference. All our homes are designed with a focus on quality of life and are comfortable environments for your family to enjoy.
Our friendly and knowledgable customer service begins even before you purchase, and lasts long after you are settled into your new home. We pride ourselves on responding promptly to our customers with helpful maintenance tips or warranty service when needed.
At S&S homes, we believe that every home has a story, and we feel proud to have played a part in writing the first chapter for so many homebuyers in Bakersfield and the Central Coast.
