About Steiner Homes in Northwest Indiana
The construction of a home consists of many parts that equal the whole. An unorganized and careless approach can lead to nightmarish experience ending in a house with much to be desired. From the initial phases of your custom designs, through each unique selection, from day one of breaking ground to the final days of receiving the keys to your dream, Steiner Homes is here to serve as your chauffeur through the difficult course of the home-building process.
When you decide to build a house, you want to work with a home builder that cares as much as you do about making it the perfect fit for you family.
As one of Northwest Indiana’s premier custom home builders, Steiner Homes brings decades of experience, a wealth of industry knowledge, and a mass of creativity to the table to help you design the perfect home. Owner and President Dan Steiner got into home building over 43 years ago. He worked with his Swedish father-in-law, who learned the business from his father. Now Steiner, his wife, four of his children and his son-in-law are part of the business, carrying on the work ethic and high standards that have brought high quality homes to Northwest Indiana for over four decades.
“People know our product and identify it and know we put extra thought and time into it,” said Steiner. “We’ve got a distinct look that people have come to know.” Though the style is recognizable, Steiner said that when he and his wife went into business on their own, they decided they didn’t want to build “cookie cutter” houses. Steiner and his family team work with buyers to make sure that the details are to their taste and the designs meet their needs. “We sit down with them and design the house in front of them instead of telling them they have to do this or that,” said Steiner. “We focus on making it affordable, but a really cool house.”
Two of Steiner’s sons are proficient in Auto CAD design and can do design remotely on a big screen for clients to view. “There are new things coming on the market, so we try to stay fresh and current, but make it affordable” said Steiner. We know you have your choice of custom home builders, so we try our best to offer industry leading technology and service. “Sitting down and hearing what clients want and putting that into a house really means a lot to people.” Each of the home designs is named for one of the Steiner grandchildren or kids of employees in the company, among them the Benjamin, a 1,700-square-foot ranch; the Emma, a master-on-the-main available in various sizes; and the Charlie, a two-story, four-bedroom, 2,550-square-foot home. You’ll find Steiner homes in several subdivisions in Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties. Deer Ridge South in Crown Point, the Preserve and Sand Creek in Chesterton, West Lakes in Munster, Hawthorne North in Valparaiso and Marina Shores in Portage are just a few of the subdivisions.
Steiner noted that now is a good time to move to Northwest Indiana as the housing market is seeing large numbers of transplants from the Chicago area. “We’re getting a flood of people,” he said. “The interest rates are really good. The taxes are lower. The sooner you buy, the better since prices keep going up. There are a lot of good reasons to buy now versus waiting a year.” As with any business in this time, Steiner Homes is taking all necessary health and safety precautions while still providing full custom home-building services. Model homes are open on weekends and available for viewing by appointment during the week. The Eleanor model in Hawthorne North (Valparaiso) and the Gretchen model in The Preserve (Chesterton) are open from 1-4 p.m. on weekends. Social distancing is being practiced at open houses and when meeting with clients, sanitizing procedures are in place and hand sanitizer is available. Steiner Homes is open and operating during the pandemic to make your home-building dreams come true. Contact Steiner Homes today to learn more or to get in touch with our custom home builder team!
