In 1971, Gene Bastian, president of Bastian Homes, started as a supervisor for a prominent central Pennsylvania builder. By 1986, he had been named president and chief executive officer.

The company grew into the country's 53rd largest single-family home builder.

Bastian Homes, a scattered lot custom home builder, was founded in 1993. The company now has 12 branches that deliver superior homes to families in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

The company offers a variety of floor plans to choose from and can alter them to suit a customer's needs. It also will create a blueprint based on a customer's dream home idea.

Bastian associates are committed to satisfying the customer before a contract is signed, throughout construction, and after the home is complete.

Bastian Homes combines the warmth and personal service typical of a small custom builder with the efficiency of a large volume builder.

Bastian's advantage is in lower overhead expense and "big builder" buying power. By negotiating material and labor costs based on annual volume, Bastian is able to pass considerable savings on to its customers.

Using local personnel and subcontractors, each Bastian office offers personalized attention to meet each individual buyer's needs. Clients enjoy not only affordable pricing, but the peace of mind that comes from owning a well-built, premium home.
