The Capstone Difference?“If you can customize a $4 cup of coffee, why can’t you customize a $400,000 home?” -Scott Dailey, Owner of Capstone Homes. Your home should be built to enable you to live the life you deserve. It should be unique like you. At Capstone Homes, we take the time to learn what home you need, and we partner with you to build the new home that fits you. No other builder works this way. At Capstone, our great floorplans are just the starting point. Your new dream home is the finish line. You have choices in selecting a builder. Capstone is the intelligent choice.

2012 Energy Star Standards All Capstone Homes are built to meet (and in many areas, exceed), the 2012 International

Residential Code for Energy. This code is required for all new homes in Sussex County, Delaware. All Capstone Homes are tested for air leakage for the entire home and the HVAC system by a third party verification company. Capstone exceeds the 2012 Standards in the areas of wall insulation, heating and air conditioning performance, hot water heater performance, lighting, wood framing,

and window performance.

EnergySmart Only Capstone Homes has EnergySmart. The difference between EnergySmart and any other builder’s program is crucial. Capstone Homes is the only builder who considers the “cost of ownership” of a new home. Cost of onwership focuses on two things: first, Capstone’s Cornerstone Collection features quality materials. Higher quality materials means lower replacement costs over time. From our shingles to our heat pumps, you’ll find that a Capstone Home is build to last. At Capstone Homes, we aren’t focused on awards and certifications for our new homes. The educated homeowner knows the difference between government certifications and real world experience. Capstone Homes is focused on providing you with a home that has the lowest cost of

ownership of any Delaware new home.
