Uncommon standards

What are New Era Homes' Uncommon Standards?

Our Uncommon Standards are the little details that make the difference between a starter home and a New Era semi-custom home. Standards like upgraded fixtures and appliances are easy to see but the hidden ones–like our robust HVAC system–set New Era Homes apart from other custom and semi custom homebuilders in Central Oregon.

There is a difference of approximately $40K in unseen building upgrades between a home built by an á la carte builder and one built by New Era Homes. While not visible to the naked eye, the benefits are seen in overall comfort and in long-term durability.

Our Uncommon Standards are found throughout our homes and during the building process. These features and upgrades come standard in Our Heritage, Heritage +, Heritage ++ and Premier edition homes. Our Classic Edition also shares a limited number of the Uncommon Standards listed below.
