Jack Arnold Companies

We are the third owner of a Jack Arnold home in a community he planned. A few weeks ago, we had a local company out to install a wired-internet system through the house because our wifi signal doesn't travel very well. During that appointment, the owner of the installation company explained that we're having issues with wifi because our home is so "dense". The framing was done in away that's above and industry standards. The insulation throughout the house is top-notch. Beyond that, there's no wasted space. Every nook and cranny of the house was thoughtfully planned out and utilized efficiently. Fast forward to some updates we're making (a light renovation of a hall bath) and, again, the contractor we're using made sure to say how impressed he is with the quality and design of our home. As we've peeled back drywall and removed flooring, everything is beyond the standards for homebuilders. Those things are super nice to hear and make us feel confident in our home. But, beyond all of that, this is just an incredibly beautiful place to live, in a community that was thoughtfully designed. We feel very fortunate to own this home and, more than that, we feel safe raising our family here for years to come. I'd never heard of Jack Arnold before we fell in love with this house but I can tell you that there is a difference. We are impressed.

I purchased a plan from Jack Arnold homes. Unfortunately, I was never able to use the plan for multiple reasons. I was told by multiple local architects and builders that my plan was extremely complicated. For example, the roof needed to be stick framed versus trusses, the floor joists ran many different ways making heating and cooling very difficult, there was no steel beam incorporated in the plan, the concrete floor was set to be 12 inches thick? In addition, these plans do not come with an engineer’s approval. Plan to pay a local engineer a lot of money to update these plans before you submit for permit. Most of the contractors I approached wouldn’t even bid on the project. The contractors that did bid, came back with an extremely high cost. Be careful when buying one of these plans.

amazing design, all areas are so thought out. Brilliant architect and the late Charles Faudra did the most livable interior design.
