We build more than a house
We create a HOME

Our Mission statement

We feel strongly that good planning and design are the core foundation of a successful project. It is our goal to help guide our clients through the building process and work closely with the project Architect and Designer to turn vision into reality.

We pride ourselves on being flexible and easy to work with as a project evolves. Building a new home should be an exciting and rewarding experience, and it is our goal to create that environment for our clients. -Sam Rode

28 years of experience – over 50+ new homes and counting!

Since our founding in 1991, Rode Homes Inc. has always held to the belief that absolute customer satisfaction combined with the highest quality workmanship is first priority, and to this day over 98% of our sales are from referrals. Our goal is to conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity and to create a positive atmosphere at our projects, we love what we do, and it shows in our attitudes and in our finished product. We specialize in building distinguished custom homes on the Finger Lakes in Western NY and have been privileged to have built some of the area’s most challenging custom homes both on the water and off, many which have been featured in Design NY Magazine.
