Being close to the construction business I thought I had a leg up, but the process was far more complicated than I anticipated. Jeff and his team put our minds at ease from the first meeting. They walked the lot, they advised on plans, they brought their experience to bear on every aspect of the project from day one. They crushed their timetable in the midst of a pandemic and the finished result takes our breath away. We went from rocks, woods and dirt to a home we'll most likely never leave. I can't say enough good of this team. Their strengths complement each other and they are all professionals. Don't look further than Costa Homebuilders to make your dream a reality! **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > Kim and Andrew, > Thank you for sharing your experience! Coming from another construction professional like yourself, is really powerful. The entire Costa Team is always striving to provide our customers with a great experience. > We’re so happy to hear you love your beautiful new home, and we hope you enjoy many years of happy memories there. ### All 51 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-114882467, Feb. 2026** > Couldn’t be happier with how our new home turned out. It is beautiful. Tracey, Tony and Chris were so awesome to work with. They made sure everything we wanted became a reality. Highly recommend building with Costa. **★★★★★ — Susie Dimsa, Sept. 2025** > I thought I would be overwhelmed with all of the decisions to be made in building a new home. Costa Homebuilders approach made the process enjoyable from start to finish. All of the team members were wonderful to work with as were the contractors they use. If you are looking to build a new home, I would definitely recommend Costa Homebuilders. **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > Thank you for your thoughtful review! It was a true pleasure collaborating with you, and we couldn’t be happier with how your home turned out — it’s a beautiful reflection of your vision and style. We’re honored you chose Costa Homebuilders for such an important project, and proud to feature your home among our showcase of exceptional builds. Thank you again for your trust and partnership! **★★★★★ — Kathy Suto, Sept. 2025** > After 20 years in Los Angeles, my husband and I longed to move back 'home' to Pittsburgh. We made the decision to build a home and spent over a year reviewing builders on-line. Once we connected with Tony and Tracey at Costa, we knew we'd found our team. > Over the course of the last year, we've worked together long-distance to build the home of our dreams. > Every part of this experience exceeded our expectations, in large part due to the tremendous surround from the Costa team and their vendor partners. > We HIGHLY recommend Costa to anyone considering new construction...THE BEST! **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review! > It was truly a pleasure working with you and John to bring your vision to life. Your design inspiration and thoughtful selections added so much character and beauty—this home truly reflects you. > We love seeing our clients’ personalities come to life in the homes we build, and yours is a perfect example of that. Excellent choices all around! > Thank you again for choosing Costa Homebuilders. We’re honored to have been part of your custom home journey and grateful you took the time to share your experience.. **★★★★★ — HU-80848987, June 2025** > Working with Costa to build our dream home was the best decision we’ve ever made! Building a fully custom home can be overwhelming, but Costa laid it out step by step, which facilitated the whole process and even made it enjoyable. Everyone we worked with was amazing—from everyone at Costa—Tony, Tracey, Dave, Chris, Mike, Don, Ashton—to all the various contractors throughout the build. We couldn’t be happier with the way \*OUR\* one-of-a-kind house has turned out, and we are so excited for all the memories yet to come as we continue to raise our family here in our forever home! If you’re on the fence about building with Costa, get off it now and choose them! **★★★★★ — Jamie Rossi, Dec. 2024** > Costa Homebuilders live up to their 5-star reputation. Not only offering a first-class product but also first-class service, which is very important to me. You won't find a better custom home builder then Costa Homebuilders. Thank you again for everything. **★★★★★ — HU-130631039, Nov. 2024** > Can’t recommend Costa enough! If you are looking to build, they are the local company to use! They made everything so easy! Listened to our comments and concerns. Quickly resolved any issues or complications. They connect you with great sub-contracting companies and help to build connections with them if you were ever need something done from them in the future. Someone was always available to answer or talk to you, which made everything really easy!! You always feel comfortable and heard. They make you feel like you’re their only build project going on at the time, like their main priority, when in reality they probably have several projects going on at once!! Building can be stressful to it’s nice to know you are in good hands with a good quality building company, and a bonus that it is family owned! **★★★★★ — Michael W Thatcher, Oct. 2024** > Absolutely top-tier from start to finish. Jeff and his entire team executed with professional skill and integrity to build our family’s home. You won’t find a better team in the custom homebuilding industry - they know their business, they are honest, and they are fun to work with! Costa’s proven process will take your family from dream to reality while providing order to the details and decisions required during custom construction. Tony and Tracey are outstanding in the design process, where you will be paired with an incredible residential architect. They will listen to your needs and wants and help guide your family in the design of a custom home that is beautiful as well as functional. Chris and Dave kept our project on time and task and turned over a beautiful and extremely well-built finished product. Both were focused down to the smallest details to get things right. The level of care and effort given by Costa homebuilders was evident throughout the build. We can’t thank Costa Homebuilders enough for building a stunning, quality home for our family. Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — HU-572941540, Oct. 2024** > Everyone at Costa is fantastic! We met with Tony several times before we hired Costa as our builder, so it all started with him. He is very knowledgeable and professional and walked us through the process smoothly. Tracey is also very knowledgeable and helped us with certain details as well. The construction process was very smooth and anytime I had questions they were answered quickly by Tony or Chris. Dave helped us toward the end and Dennis has been very helpful since we moved in. I can’t speak highly enough about these people and would recommend them 100%. Anyone that decides to build should absolutely talk to Costa first. **★★★★★ — HU-729193320, Jan. 2021** > Jeff and team, > > We can't thank you enough for the experience we had building our home with you. We could tell that you take great pride in every step of the process. Your team is caring and was always willing to make something right. The quality of house that you built for us was exceptional. We would definitely recommend you and your team to anyone who is looking to build their dream home. Thank you for everything you have done for us....we are so pleased with how everything turned out. **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > Working with such a great family like yours, is why we do what we do. Thank you for your trust and your kind words! **★★★★★ — Shawna Nicole, Dec. 2020** > Jeff (& team) > Over the holiday Dave and I spent a lot of time reflecting on this year and the absolute insanity of it all… between Covid, raising toddlers, two dogs, the home build .. all of it has been wild. But the one thing we keep coming back to, aside from our health/family, is being so SO thankful for you guys. > Your team of direct employees, your sub contractors, everyone.. every single person that we have met has left a wonderful impression on us. You guys build A LOT of homes, so maybe it gets lost on you (although with the patience we’ve experienced from each of you, I suspect not), but this process can be so stressful. Heck, when we came to you guys from our last builder, we had broken spirits and honestly weren’t even sure if building was something we wanted to do, but you guys changed that. We’ve had friends that foolishly went with other builders tell us HORROR stories about their own experiences and every. single. time. we look at each other and shake our heads and think “omg that was almost us, but THANK GOD we went with Costa”. > > Every step of the way you guys have been patient, up front, honest, kind.. the list goes on. This home is a massive investment for us, and as first time homebuilders this has been a little scary, but every step of the way Chris and Tony have made us feel more relaxed , calm, and confident. > > I could honestly go on forever but I really just wanted to drop a quick note to say Thank You. Thank You for all you’ve done so far, and all that you guys will do over the coming months, to make our home amazing and something we will be so very proud to call ours for years to come. **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > Shawna and David, We are thrilled that you are happy with our process, and our service! We strive to make it an enjoyable and exciting experience for our families! **★★★★★ — Stacy, Oct. 2020** > Costa made our dream become a reality with our new home. From our first meeting, they were extremely detail-oriented, upfront on expectations and timetables, and most importantly listened to our vision and budget to build the perfect home. We built with them during the pandemic and even with all the ups and downs out of their control, they completed our house within the timeline they committed to achieving. The house is stunning and the detail and craftsmanship the team put into it is amazing. In addition, any outside contractor or vendor we worked with supported our needs with the same sense of urgency, collaboration, and attentiveness. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and the process of bringing it to life. **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > We can't thank you enough for your awesome praise! You guys were great to work with!! Your new home is beautiful. We hope your family enjoys it for many years. **★★★★★ — esemins, July 2020** > We recently completed new construction with Costa Homebuilders, and we couldn’t be more satisfied. They built us a beautiful, high quality home, and I have never seen a harder working more competent and cohesive team. They were singularly focused on making the customer happy, and giving the customer exactly what they want. They were on top of every moment, available promptly for any and every question, and they demonstrated superior competence at every stage. Their vendors were all fabulous, executing the highest quality of work. They handled every challenge and change smoothly, and with superior skill. They made highly sophisticated work look easy, and a process with a lot of moving parts run smoothly and efficiently. That is exactly when you know you are working with the best. I highly recommend Costa for your new construction or home remodeling project. **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > Thank you for the great feedback! We strive to make you happy with our process, and ensure that you love your new home. We hope you make some beautiful memories there! **★★★★★ — Christopher Otis, Nov. 2019** > We can't say enough about our experience with Costa Homebuilders. Jeff Costa was great on the front-end - upfront, fair, extremely helpful and easy to work with. The construction of our home was well supervised and the company was attentive to our needs throughout. We have been in our home five years and we are just as happy with the construction as the day we moved in. **★★★★★ — BRENDA MACKANICK, March 2019** > Jeff built us a beautiful home we are so pleased everyday we are here......Trillium Estate Thank you for making our dream home come true...….. **Comment from Costa Homebuilders:** > I'm so happy to hear how much you love your home. It was a pleasure to work with you to make all of your ideas come to life. **★★★★★ — Jim Peterson, Jan. 2019** > After several months of searching for a new house and not viewing anything remotely suitable, we stumbled across the Costa Homebuilders website advertising custom-built homes and, taking the “nothing to lose” approach, made an appointment to determine if this might be an option for us. An informal meeting with Jeff Costa followed in which we began to appreciate the advantages of working with a relatively small company that includes an architect amongst its network of subcontractors. We had taken along some magazine cuttings to demonstrate the kind of designs that might interest us and, during this first meeting, these were translated into firm design ideas by modification of existing plans in their collection. Within days, we had proper drawings of our new house design version one. These included some perfectly acceptable suggested modifications to our original ideas shaving tens of thousands of dollars from the construction costs. Costa had some lots available on which we could have built, but we were interested in a different location – Jeff Costa inspected the property we eventually selected before we purchased it in order to make sure there were no challenging issues that might drive up construction costs. Following some design modifications to take advantage of the existing land contours on the site and the inclusion of a mud room on the side of the house, a pre-construction meeting was scheduled, at which we met the team members who would be overseeing the building of our new house and were informed of the schedule we would need to follow for selection of lighting fixtures, door hardware, paint colors, bathroom and kitchen fittings, flooring, appliances, decking, landscaping etc. The sheer number of choices to be made might have been overwhelming if not for the organization and communication efforts of the Costa team. There are, of course, a lot of things that can go wrong during the construction of a house and mistakes were made, but Costa rectified them in timely fashion. In the end, our new home was delivered on time and on budget – ultimately, at comparable cost to many of the already finished but not quite suitable new houses that we had previously looked at. We are extremely glad we went this route and recommend Costa Homebuilders without reservation – a custom-built home can be more cost-effective than you might think and, more importantly, you can have exactly the features you desire. **★★★★★ — Dee Rapali, Nov. 2018** > This was our second build with Jeff Costa in the past 11 years. There was no other custom home builder choice for us when we decided to build a second time. The quality, value, and level of professionalism from Jeff and his team is unmatched in the industry. Jeff and his team takes the guess work and uncertainties out of the build process.If you're looking for PGH's premier custom home builder contact Costa Homebuilders. You will not be disappointed!! **★★★★★ — TH Trade Design, April 2018** > We love working with Costa Homebuilders! Their staff is extremely friendly, reliable and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a home. Their quality and professionalism is unmatched. Best homebuilders in town! **★★★★★ — Greg Novelli, March 2018** > Excellence from start to finish. Beautiful work and professional support. Great experience that starts with Jeff and trickles down to each employee. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build their dream home. **★★★★★ — Matthew Kinneman, Feb. 2018** > Phenomenal work! Surprisingly easy process from the start of the build to the finish. I highly recommend Costa home builders & wouldn't hesitate to use them again. **★★★★★ — Basil & Susan Aboosi, Nov. 2017** > We recently built our home with Costa Homebuilders and are extremely happy with our experience. From our first meeting, we were impressed with their expertise, quality and professionalism. We met with several other builders prior to meeting with Costa's and were never quite comfortable with the process but they made us feel comfortable from the start. Each step in the building process was clearly explained. Each person we worked with was knowledgeable and professional. Costa's were willing to work with us on custom requests for our home which was very important to us. They built a beautiful home for us and we couldn't be happier with our decision to build with them! **★★★★★ — nmshook, Aug. 2017** > It's hard to believe we will be in our Costa Home for 7 months very soon..... it felt like a very long process ((for me!!!!)) (first time homebuilders on our own lot) but the Costa team got us to the finish line with a beautiful new home. The process is streamlined and the standards are above and beyond what we expected. Jeff worked with us to design a floor plan that suited our needs and we are very pleased with the outcome... things that we knew we wanted were discussed up front and sometimes even included in the price up front. Tony was extremely helpful in providing ideas and input when we needed it. Chris and Adam were on site to help us when we had questions and make sure everything weren't smoothly. Dennis is so helpful to keep all our questions and anything that comes up in check! And Julie takes beautiful photos!!! Hard to believe we are in such a beautiful new home. My daughter loves her new bedroom!!! We would build with Costa again. **★★★★★ — Maneesha Bitta, Aug. 2017** > My husband and I built with Costa Homebuilders in 2015-2016 and could not be happier with our entire experience, start to present. We were able to select a plot and customize our home design completely to our liking. The team was incredibly helpful in giving us feedback and supporting our decisions. Not only is the Costa team full of amazing and wonderful to work with individuals, but their recommended vendors, and particularly their point persons for each vendor, are total pleasures to work with as well. We even went back to some of those vendors post-move in for smaller projects. We have been living in our Costa home for the past 7 months and the service we have received for the odd minor issue, post-move in, has also been incredible and quite speedy. All in all, it was a wonderful journey to build our dream home and we can't recommend Costa Homebuilders enough!! **★★★★★ — blackbeardthepirate, July 2017** > This is the 2nd time we built with Costa. It was nice to design our home and use the ideas we had drawn up. > Love the look and the layout .... nice and open. The hardwood we selected was well worth it and gives it a rustic feel. The stone and brick look awesome.... the kitchen turned out great as well. Many other nice features. **★★★★★ — Laura Andreini, June 2017** > My husband and I give Costa Homebuilders 10 Stars! They are, quite simply...the best! > Now let me tell you why... > They had the same goal as we did, which was to build us THE best home! > They have the expert knowledge to build on various terrains. They found that our land sloped much more than we thought once a topography map was obtained by Costa. Also, once excavation began, they found coal. Once Costa, their architect, and soil expert evaluated the site, they were able to overcome these obstacles and build our dream home. > We were impressed with the materials used, > and the excellent workmanship. > It was evident early on, that there was a strong commitment to service. We always knew they were working hard for us. > Every concern of ours was addressed and resolved. There were so many decisions to be made while building our home. Having understanding designers, like Tony, advising us helped in so many ways. > Costa never attempted to sell us more than we wanted. They understand having a budget. If we wanted an upgrade, we just asked and were provided with the options and costs promptly. > Even after the closing, Costa Homebuilders is there for us to insure that we are pleased! There is a one year warranty on the work they provided. > My husband and I are truly very happy that we chose to build with this wonderful company! **★★★★★ — Jeff Blunkosky, June 2017** > After meeting with several builders in the area we decided to go with Costa Home builders to build our dream home in Peters township. Being in the construction industry myself I was impressed with his organized fashion of running his company, being very upfront with costs /deliverables, and being a good listener of what my family's particular needs were for the project. At no point in time was he pushy or trying to sell me like several others. Four years later we are happy to say we love our home, we don't have any regrets with how it was planned or constructed, and receive countless compliments. We had some small aesthetic items that needed attended to as any project does after the fact that Jeff was always quick to make sure were attended to promptly at no cost. I highly recommend Jeff and his team to anybody serious about constructing a new home. **★★★★★ — Michael Steele, March 2017** > Jeff Costa and his team at Costa Homebuilders provide the surrounding communities with quality custom built homes. You will not be disappointed!!! **★★★★★ — Sharon Huber, March 2017** > The entire Costa Homebuilders crew made what many may consider a stressful time an exciting adventure that we now get to enjoy everyday. We are extremely pleased with every detail of our new home. The entire staff was extremely helpful in all phases. It was obvious that they were genuinely excited in helping us to design and build our dream home. We highly recommend them to anyone in search of a homebuilder. They will not let you down! **★★★★★ — Perry Napolitano, Jan. 2017** > My experience with Costa Custom Homebuilders was outstanding. They built a beautiful home for me with great professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail. I would strongly recommend them for custom home construction. Perhaps more persuasively, I would call them first if I ever build again. Indeed, I have consulted with them on many projects since they built my home, and on each occasion I was similarly impressed with their knowledge, honesty and commitment to excellence. > > I encountered Costa construction in the midst of needing to switch builders due to failures of my first builder early in a rather sizeable project. Costa quickly got me and my family back on track. They made important stylistic and structural improvements to our plans, engaged in frank and open discussions about our options regarding materials and vendors, and executed the work timely and with care. > > Costa is a family-owned company with generations of experience and a stellar reputation. I have worked closely with Jeff Costa, the company’s chief executive, on my own home and with respect to other projects. He is extremely knowledgeable, anticipates and helps navigate common issues based upon his considerable experience, addresses any unforeseen issues promptly and honestly, and insists on the highest quality. Quite simply, Jeff inspires confidence and effectively sets the tone for the entire company. > > If you would like more detail, I would be happy to talk about my experience with Costa. **★★★★★ — Jim & Brenda Mackanick, Dec. 2016** > Being in the building industry 40 years I knew Jeff's background and the Costa home quality. Our relationship has become stronger and better after the building of our new home located in the mountains near Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. Costa Homebuilders did an excellent job and the home has such great curb appeal that my neighbor selected Costa Homebuilders to build his home. Thanks to Jeff and his team for everything and I recommend Costa Homebuilders to build your new home. **★★★★★ — Henry Franklin, Dec. 2016** > We just finished building our new home with Costa and I can't express how happy I am. They made the process fun and stress free. We loved the design, selections and building process. Their showroom is amazing and really gives you a wonderful picture of how your home is going to look **★★★★★ — mbspore, Aug. 2015** > Costa built our home about 7 years ago, and we loved working with them. They were careful about their contractors. We thoughts the framers were the best. Any issues were quickly resolved. If we were to build agin, we would call costa. **★★★★★ — Sara M, July 2015** > Costa Homebuilders built an amazing home for us. Jeff, Tony, Chris and the rest of the team really helped us through the entire process. What I really like about Costa is that they are very clear about what is included and the standard level is above and beyond other builders. Standards include Pella windows, hardwood floors in the entry/hall/kitchen, ceramic tile in bathrooms/laundry, and wood cabinets in the kitchens and baths. They use quality materials to build a quality house. The best part of the process was getting to customize your floor plan so you really make the most out of the square feet in your house. We will not have "unused" rooms in our house. Jeff really had some great ideas on how to help us maximize space and get all of our must have items. I am very happy with my new home. **★★★★★ — djrking4, May 2015** > Costa Homebuilders just completed the construction of our home that we dreamed about since we were 17. We have been in the house now for 4 weeks and couldn't be happier. They made the process of planning for the home so easy because they have been doing it for so long. Because they are a custom builder, we were able to sit down with the architect and design our floor plan from scratch. I had a picture of an outside of a home that I loved, but specific ideas of how I wanted the interior floor plan to be. They merged the two together and came up with the perfect house. As we watched the house come to life, we were so pleased with the quality that we saw from the beginning, even with the footer and foundation stages. Seeing what products and craftsmanship they put into our home makes us feel so confident that our house will stand the test of time. **★★★★★ — Danielle Beard, Dec. 2014** > Costa Homebuilders recently built our beautiful home on our own lot. Jeff, Tony, Chris and the entire Costa staff were really great to work with and made the home building experience an easy one for us. They really listened to what we wanted and helped with our decision-making process when needed. Their expertise was much appreciated. The end result is a home that showcases our own style and is exactly what we envisioned. We would definitely recommend Costa Homebuilders! **★★★★★ — kbauman9970, Sept. 2014** > Costa Homes completed our custom home in Sept 2012.We have had two years already in our beautiful house. The experience with Costa exceeded our expectations with a home contractor. The team worked with us every step of the way to design our dream home. It is a family owned business and you can tell. They take great pride in their work. This is not to say we did not have the normal glitches that comes with building a home. But, it is how they handled those glitches that made the difference. Costa was quick to resolve any concerns we had and customer care was their number one priority. We could not be happier and would not hesitate to recommend them to families building a custom home in the Pittsburgh area. You cannot go wrong hiring Costa Homes. **★★★★ — jldugan4003, Sept. 2014** > Our 2 story open floor plan house built by Costa is amazing. It is spacious with plenty of storage and closet space. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining and for our growing family. The process was smooth from the start of designing the floor plan by looking at the models online to working with all the different contractors to select every single detail of the house. The end result is stunning and truly a custom home built by a great team. **★★★★★ — Bullymax Dogsupplement, Aug. 2014** > After doing some research online for a quality home building in the Pittsburgh area, I came across Costa Homebuilders. We got in contact with Tony, exchanged a few emails, met for an overview of the project, and were on a roll building in no time. > > From start to finish this company has been a pleasure to deal with. They made building a home a stress-free process. > > If you are looking for a high quality home builder, Costa is undoubtably THE company to work with. They've established a team of extremely talented professionals in every aspect of home building. The quality and craftsmanship of their work is second to none. > > I highly recommend Costa Homebuilders and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. > > \- Matthew Kinneman > Bully Max Inc **★★★★★ — kristinwasko, April 2014** > My husband and I chose Costa Himebuilders to build our new home and we absolutely love it! The process of building a house can be very intimidating. However, through the careful guidance of Jeff Costa and his team of contractors, the building process as a breeze. Never once did we feel forced to chose any one design and we appreciated the insight we were given to make amazing choices. Everyone had our best interest at all times and never once did we feel like they were trying to force us into selecting the most expensive product. We definitely reccomend building with Costa Homebuilders. You receive excellent service and a gorgeous quality home! **★★★★ — Kelly Andres-Beck, Dec. 2013** > Very professional and organized. They met all my expectations and were very easy to work with. Their employees were friendly and helpful! I would not hesitate to build with them again. **★★★★★ — Walt Bronder, Nov. 2013** > after interviewing 2 other builders i met with the Costa team, From the first meeting with the Costa Builders i knew it was the right fit for me. > > i recieved a detailed packet explaining the whole process from start to finish, what was included in the Costa standard package and the signature series. i was impressed what was standard compaired to the other builders i had consdered. > > Meeting with the sub contractors really helped too, for instance Moses elcetric spent time with me walking through every room helping me decide where to put every light, switch and plug to make things work for me. i have built before and never had the feeling that people cared as much as the Costa team. > > The finished product EXCEEDED my expectations and i would recommend Costa Home Builders to build my next home!! **★★★★★ — ryanklousnitzer, Nov. 2013** > After deciding to build a custom home and interviewing multiple builders, my wife and I chose Costa Homebuilders. We wanted to build a totally custom home on a private lot that we had purchased. Costa worked us through their 3 -Step New Life program and helped us design our dream home. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and quality work is UNMATCHED. Being in the construction industry, I was amazed at the quality of work that Costa's Construction team and their subcontractors performed and the end product is a beautiful quality built custom home. I recommend that anyone planning to build a home in the Pittsburgh Region give Jeff Costa and his team a call. **★★★★★ — happyhouser, Nov. 2013** > Once we browsed Costa's website and then met with Jeff Costa for the first time, we ruled out all other builders in our area. The price was upfront and honest. There was no 'nickel and diming' or surprise costs. Jeff and his team talked with us about the process and then gave to us a schedule as to when each phase of the house was to be done and the dates by which we needed to make our choices. A packet was given to us with all the information we needed and points of contact for every part of the process. It's not that problems won't arise when undertaking a huge project like designing and building a house; that's part of the process. However, how your builder solves those problems and how quickly makes all the difference in the world not only to your experience, but to the end product. Costa homebuilders were quick in responding to all of our concerns and questions no matter how small or redundant. Most importantly, they made sure their solutions were in accordance with our wishes. This builder doesn't forget about you after you sign the contract or even after you move in to the house. Uniquely, Costa comes back after a year to repair any 'nail pops' in drywall, touch up paint, etc. Who does that? These days it's usually silence and absence after you pay a company. Who does that in 2013?......Costa does!!! Save yourself some time and just go with costa. You'll never regret it **★★★★★ — Tracy, Nov. 2013** > I recently moved into my new home built by Costa Homebuilders. It was a pleasure working with them, the team deserves kudos. From the initial process of getting the plans drawn throughout the construction, it was mostly a pleasure. As anyone knows it is stressful, even though it is good stress. I cannot say enough good things about everyone who works for or with Costa. They are knowledgeable, talented, nice, friendly, kind people and that made it a joy to work with them. They are good at what they do and they care, a winning combination. My home is awesome, working together we created a well built beautiful craftsman home. **★★★★★ — sandusky77, Oct. 2013** > When my wife and I meet Jeff Costa, we knew his company was the one that was going to build our dream home. Jeff was very detailed and the most important thing was he listened to what the customer wanted. We meet with many different homebuilders and they all wanted to build the home there way. This was not the case with Jeff as he was very open to what we wanted the customer. He simply pointed us in the right direction. He did everything we asked of him and we could not have been more pleased. Also, we love Jeff's right hand man Chris Zacur. We spoke to him almost every day. If we had any issues or concerns throughout the process he was always there. Finally, Tony was very helpful and knowledgeable of all the choices and options we wanted to include in our home. Overall, the whole process was huge success. **★★★★★ — amf21, Feb. 2013** > Building with Costa Homebuilders was a great experience. They ensured that the building and design process was smooth from beginning to end, and any questions or concerns were immediately responded to. Our home was finished exactly when we anticipated and we couldn't be happier. We have had many compliments on our home since moving in and highly recommend Costa Homebuilders to anyone interested in building a home. **★★★★★ — moses15236, Feb. 2013** > Costa Homebuilders was an excellent choice to build our home. From design to construction, they worked closely with us by taking our ideas and turning them into our dream home **★★★★★ — alexjustin, Feb. 2013** > Costa Homebuilders is a great local builder who makes the home building process an easy one. Building a custom home certainly takes time and can be quite frustrating, but Costa does a great job of streamlining the process. Because Costa uses other local subcontractors - and has used the same contractors for many years - it is clear that everyone is "on the same page" and understands the process really well. This makes it much easier to do everything from choose lighting to hardwood floors! We really liked the idea of using a company that was from the South Hills and who used other companies from the area, as well. The only glitch we had was with the electrician, but all of the other subs were super helpful, very nice, and really easy to work with! We love our home and wouldn't do anything different! And I do need to point out that the small problems that arose following the construction of the home (every new home will have them!) were dealt with quickly and easily! **★★★★★ — germanhound, Feb. 2013** > I hired Costa Homebuilders after interviewing a bunch of builders in Pittsburgh. Their cost and quality met my affordability and expectations. The transactions with Costa has been absolutely crystal clear. Right from the beginning, there were no corners cut. Absolutely professional, easily approachable and they stand by their word. I would highly recommend them to any one who wishes to build a beautiful quality home in Pittsburgh. **★★★★★ — eean, Feb. 2013** > Costa Homebuilders helped my family design and build a custom home that fit our needs and wants. The were very easy to work with and did the job within our tight timeframe. Any concerns or changes which we wanted were met with a "no problem" type of response. We would recommend them to anyone thinking about building their dream home. **★★★★★ — cnote22, Feb. 2013** > The Costa group is a great group of preofessionals that pay attention to detail and get the job done on time. ## Selected projects - [Port Lake Estates](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/port-lake-estates-pj-vj~7675726) - Location: Elizabeth, PA - Photos: 17 - [Shehull Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shehull-estate-pj-vj~7273953) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 54 - Description: Welcome to the timeless allure of the "Shehull Estate" – an embodiment of Mid-Century Modern elegance and artistry.
