GHA Quality Assurance and Warranty

Offering over 40 years of experience, our quality program starts at design inception, with the creation of precise construction drawings, specifying high quality materials, all the way through to on-site supervision by experienced project and construction managers. Commitment to quality and detail is what separates GHA from other developers. Building homes with "smart" floor plans means that state-of-the-art, energy efficient design is a given. What puts GHA above the rest is their commitment to unparalleled standard features. By providing premium options as standard fare, GHA allows homeowners to upgrade because they want to, not because they have to or need to. This commitment to excellence has been a major part of their success. GHA's commitment doesn't stop there. They also provide home buyers with a detailed owner's manual, periodic inspections and a final walk-through. This way, qualified GHA staff members can answer questions throughout the process, assuring buyers of a complete and thorough understanding of their home investment. From the start of construction, until long after the home buyer has settled into their new home, GHA remains committed to quality customer service.
