A family about to spend a year building a house does not want another brochure of floor plans. They want to hear from someone who already moved in. This video is a little over four minutes. It opens on a family in the custom home business since 1958, with Greg as the third generation, and on what customization means here: basements, walls, rooms, decks, small houses and large ones. Then it stops talking like a company and lets owners talk.
One owner walks through a kitchen she redesigned, down to the island, the hood, and the sink. Another says this is a second home with the company, bought from Don 25 years ago and built this time with Greg and a designer named Ed, and that they moved in five months ago, more or less on schedule. A third says they met eight builders and chose this one, on a Blue Ridge plan, with changes that also had to work as a retirement house. The company comes back only at the end: 2x6 walls, trim and tile, trades they say they have used for years, and an invitation to visit the website and call the number on the screen.
Another builder hiring Beacon for a video like this is buying those owners. Plans can live on the site. The video is the minute after the keys are turned over.
Schalmo did not need a longer tour of the model home. They needed the people who live in the houses. That is what this video is for.

[00:00.000] The Shammoh family has been in the custom home building business since 1958 with Greg
[00:15.380] Shammoh being the third generation of Shammoh men to build beautiful custom homes in the
[00:20.640] area.
[00:21.640] Quality, craftsmanship and giving value to our customers are traditions that have always
[00:26.000] been the hallmark of Shammoh homes.
[00:28.640] With hundreds of plans to choose from, you're able to customize each home to your once,
[00:33.040] dreams and needs.
[00:34.440] With full customization, this means finishing basements, removing walls, moving rooms or
[00:38.800] building decks are all possible when you design your home with us.
[00:42.580] From small homes to large homes, the Shamo team has got you covered.
[00:46.920] So what is the Shamo Home Building Experience like?
[00:49.920] Yeah, our experience was very good with the Shamo team, the entire team, right from the
[00:58.240] design stages all the way through to turning over the keys.
[01:03.260] They worked really well with this
[01:05.060] and it just all came together very nicely for us.
[01:08.880] The group at Shamo worked with us really well
[01:12.300] and we were very happy with it.
[01:14.480] I love my kitchen because I did get to design it
[01:17.860] even though it had the main structure there,
[01:23.600] I got to redo and add what I wanted to it
[01:26.680] put in drawers where I wanted. I got to make the island bigger and they were all easy things to
[01:32.520] switch and I switched over the microwave. I put a different hood. I got to have my sink and I'm
[01:37.960] very pleased with my kitchen now. This is our second home with Shaulmo. We bought home from
[01:50.680] Don Shalmo 25 years ago, we're very happy with it, had no issues at all with the home.
[01:58.120] So we decided that we wanted to build a new home. So we went to Greg this time and
[02:06.520] he set us up with Ed who designed our house. We moved into the house five months ago.
[02:13.800] We were very happy with the construction and the timetable in which it was built,
[02:18.440] more or less on schedule and we had to do it again we would go Sh Elmo again.
[02:34.440] After meeting with eight different builders my husband and I knew
[02:38.360] immediately that Sh Elmo Homes was the company we were going to use to build our
[02:43.040] dream home. Using the Blue Ridge floor plan, Sh Elmo allowed us the flexibility to customize our home
[02:50.240] not only to fit our current lifestyle but to also be our future retirement home. During the build,
[02:56.080] they even suggested a few design ideas to make the house even better. We love everything about
[03:02.000] our house including our fully customized kitchen with special pullout and drawers. We get compliments
[03:08.560] from everybody who visits. For the quality of workmanship, attention to detail, and excellence
[03:14.800] in flexibility and design, we're really glad we chose Shammah Homes.
[03:20.320] When you buy a Shammah Home, you're buying quality and craftsmanship. Everything from
[03:24.960] our 2x6 outer walls with energy efficient insulation to our beautiful trim, tile, and
[03:30.200] finished work. The tradesmen who work with us understand that our word to our customers
[03:34.720] means something. Everyone from the Amish men who do our framing to the
