About Us
Your home is our business! Since 1972, family-owned Garman Builders has built quality new homes in central PA and a tradition of excellence exemplified in their signature "Garman" design and detail.
Garman Builders is a team of people that truly care about the quality of our work. That’s why we say ‘The Difference Is In The Details’. A signature Garman home has an open floor plan and vaulted ceilings, plus all of the finishing touches that make a home truly outstanding. Intricate molding ceiling texture for added dimension, and rounded corners to soften the atmosphere are standard.
Visit one of our model homes and you’ll see the difference before you even step through the door! Where other builders might stress their 'extras' at extra costs, luxury and cost-effective amenities are standard in a Garman home.
Let Garman Builders welcome you home!

uyer Beware: Bad experience with Garman Builders. Sloppy & unprofessional work. Immediately after completion spending thousands of dollars to fix Garman’s sloppy work. Called into the Garman office numerous times to no avail. No return calls. One glaring example, Garman Builders (Rodney) put the air conditioner directly in the back of the house (Inches from the patio). Just imagine, sitting in the back of your patio listening to the AC running all summer long. Garman could have easily put it on the side of the house, like they did with all of the other homes (MANY OF THE SAME STYLE HOMES) in the development. Again, I do NOT recommend Garmin Builders. Sloppy work and very difficult to deal with. Buyer Beware !!

Garman presents a positive customer-focused image to lure prospective homeowners, but they do not follow through. My back yard has major drainage issues (as do many of my neighbors with Garman homes). This has resulted in our backyard being soggy over a week after rain and our grass dying. Garman initially did have landscapers come out, but all they did was replace the dead grass. The land was not properly regraded, so - no surprise - the grass is dying again and the issue has continued. Despite my repeated attempts to have Garman fix the problem, they have refused, citing a policy where they will not correct bad landscaping unless there is standing water for a full 48 hours. Given the number of other neighbors with the same issue, who have also stated Garman refused to solve the problem, I would recommend that prospective buyers select another builder.

Garman Builders was very helpful and answered all of my questions quickly and completely. My husband and I are preparing to build a custom home, and Garman's portfolio is top-notch. Unfortunately we are outside of their service area, but if we were local, Garman would be at the top of our list!
