A Legacy of Homebuilding in New Jersey

For over 60 years, the Schaeffer family has been dedicated to the mission of providing the people of New Jersey with quality-built, affordably priced new homes. Thomas Schaeffer Sr. learned the craft of woodworking in the Army, and afterwards he immediately put his new skills to work in the homebuilding industry. 

The family business launched with Thomas “Tim” Schaeffer Jr. when he worked with his father as a teenager. Tim continued to work for many builders throughout the region, polishing his craft until he and his father began building custom homes in southern New Jersey.  Tim eventually founded Tim Schaeffer Communities in 1989. 

Embracing Tradition

Our craftsmen are dedicated to the idea that a successful community is one that will service its residents as well in the future as it does today. We employ local trade partners who understand South Jersey’s housing needs. They are involved in their communities and are our friends and neighbors.
           
We understand that the purchase of a home is the single most important financial decision that our customers will make. Families who live in Schaeffer homes know that we build with the Schaeffer Stamp of Approval.  Our reputation is built on a foundation of uncompromising attention to every detail.
           
As lifelong New Jersey residents we are attuned to the unique environments of this small state. Consequently, we strive to build homes that blend with their setting, keeping nature as part of the home.  We have been honored as the State Conservation Service Builder of the Year for care and respect of the natural environment.
           
We believe in giving back to our community.  Through donations of money, food and time to various charities, we support the communities that have been good to us for so many years.

Embracing Change

A commitment to quality is in every one of our homes.  Therefore, we continually re-work our architectural designs and materials.  When a new technology is proven to have superior quality, lower cost, longer life and fewer warranty issues, we implement that technology and pass the cost savings along to you, our valued homeowners.
           
We created an Information Technology department in the early 1990’s, moving ahead of the curve in our industry and streamlining our office procedures.  Our staff constantly looks for ways to improve the “behind the scenes” processes that help us deliver a quality home.  Paperless transmission via wireless devices and web portals enhances our communication abilities, and ensures that our homebuyers get their wishes to the correct people as quickly and accurately as possible.
           
When you buy a Schaeffer home, you become part of our family.  We encourage your comments and opinions.  You will receive at least two feedback surveys from an unbiased, third-party firm that can be answered on-line or by mail.  Please take some time to let us know how you feel, what you thought of the process.  We read each and every survey, looking to improve our company based upon your feedback.  
           
As always, thank you for your interest in Tim Schaeffer Communities.
