Christopher Homes is a family-owned and operated custom home builder and residential remodeling contractor based in Pylesville, Maryland. We serve homeowners throughout Harford County, Cecil County, Baltimore County, Howard County, Carroll County, and Southern Pennsylvania.
There are no national or regional offices to deal with. When you work with Christopher Homes, you work with a local builder who stays involved, communicates clearly, and takes the responsibility of building or remodeling your home seriously.
Since May 2006, we have worked with homeowners throughout the region by focusing on quality construction, honest communication, competitive pricing, and doing what we say we are going to do. Over the years, Christopher Homes has built a strong reputation as one of the area’s reputable custom home builders and remodeling contractors.
If you are planning a custom home, home addition, garage project, in-law suite, or remodeling project, we would be glad to talk with you about your goals, your property, and the best next step.
On every project, our goal is to exceed expectations.
Homeowners want clear answers, realistic timelines, and confidence that the work is being done properly. One of our core values is honesty, and that shows in how we handle each project from the initial quote through construction and final completion.
We believe a home should be built with care, practical planning, and materials that hold up over time. That is why we only use materials we have experience with and confidence in. A home is not just about how it looks when the project is finished. It is also about how it performs, functions, and holds its value for years to come.
Christopher Homes stands behind its work with warranty protection, including a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for qualifying new home projects, which provides added long-term protection and peace of mind.

Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending time outdoors and with his family. His strong family values and faith continue to shape the way he approaches both business and relationships.
