Robert L. Messick Builders and Messick Home Improvements

— A Tradition of Excellence

"When we visited family and discussed moving here from California, Messick's name kept coming up. Their reputation led us to contact them, and we saw first-hand that their quality was no comparison to the tract homes we'd seen. They agreed to work from a floorplan we found on the Internet, customized exactly what we wanted, and made the entire process easy. We know we're in a solid, well-build house. We couldn't be on-site so we trusted them and they didn't disappoint!"   — Steeplechase homeowners, John & Carolyn Gaghan

If the thought of moving into a brand-new house seems exciting, consider that many homebuilders build houses but only a few build a lifestyle. That’s an important difference when choosing or planning the home of your dreams.
For more than three decades Robert L. Messick, Inc. has designed and built quality homes and communities in the Salisbury area, earning respect and recognition as a premier homebuilder. By maintaining the highest standards in quality and craftsmanship over 35 years, Robert L. Messick, Inc. has established an admirable tradition of excellence.
Founded by Robert L. Messick, the company is now managed by his sons, Don and Rob. As a family-owned company, it has built some of the finest communities in the area. Steeplechase, Kensington Woods, Centennial Village, Covington Cove, Carriage Square, Idlewood and Water’s Edge are all Messick communities — communities not only of houses but a distinct lifestyle.
“Steeplechase Swim and Tennis Community is probably our signature community,” said Don. “There are 160 families in Steeplechase and additional construction will provide homes for a total of 300 in the future,” he added. A second community swimming pool will be added soon, enhancing the community’s many amenities.
If a custom-built home is your dream, the company will make your dreams a reality. The process begins with listening. The builder uses a client’s ideas then guides him or her through the planning stage every step of the way. After the new home’s details are decided, an in-house draftsman designs a unique living space that reflects the client’s vision.
The builder has polished this process successfully through the years. Several clients have been so pleased that they contracted with Messick to build their next home. An endorsement like that speaks volumes to the company’s capabilities and reputation.
While the thought of moving into a new house may be a dream for many, it’s not everyone’s wish. Many families love their homes and want to stay put. In cases like these, homeowners can turn to Messick Home Improvements, a full-service remodeling company.
A subsidiary of Robert L. Messick, Inc., Messick Home Improvements boasts the same fine reputation as its parent company. Messick Home Improvements specializes in home remodeling projects that make a good thing better. Its remodeling resume includes kitchens, bathrooms, additions, in-law suites and whole-house renovations. “We can do just about anything a client desires,” said Don.
Recent remodeling projects have brought beautiful countertops, wet-bars, cabinetry, whirlpool tubs and dramatic lighting into clients’ existing homes. Need more living space? Messick Home Improvements has a long list of satisfied clients who’ve contracted for room additions, enclosed porches and second-floor expansions.

"Robert Messick had built our home a few decades ago. Their estimate for our kitchen remodel, garage addition, and sunroom enclosure was very competitive, and we knew they'd do a quality job. They were reliable, and so organized that the process wasn't too inconvenient or stressful. We're so pleased with their work, that we have them coming back to renovate two bathrooms!"   — Lee, Kerry, Abigail and Lily Howeth

“Remodeling allows you to enhance your current living space so you can enjoy the upgrades now, then see increased home value in the future,” said Don.
Messick Home Improvements is experienced in managing every aspect of a remodeling project including planning, design, permits and, of course, expert construction. The company works with the same trusted craftsmen year-in and year-out to ensure consistent quality in everything they do.
Quality and reputation are a recurring theme in everything built by the two Messick companies. The companies’ commitment to customer satisfaction is reflected by the customers who have chosen Robert L. Messick, Inc. for their new homes and Messick Home Improvements for their remodeling goals.

When asked what sets the Messick companies apart from other homebuilders and home improvement firms in the area, Don answered without hesitation. “We do things as we would if we were building the homes for ourselves.” Robert L.
