Is FamilyHomePlans.com a new online house plans search engine?
No, Familyhomeplans.com is the online home plan resource site for The Garlinghouse Company. Garlinghouse is the oldest - and certainly one of the most respected - home plan publishing companies in America. Since 1907, The Garlinghouse Company has provided high quality, structurally sound home plans to professional homebuilders and homeowners alike. Today, the company represents over 21,000 designs from more than 100 of North America's most popular residential architects and designers. With such a longstanding reputation in the home design industry, you can be assured you'll receive exceptional, experienced service before, during, and after the sale.
Sure, 21,000+ home plans is a lot, but we've made searching simple.
We offer several easy ways to find a home plan that's right for you. Tired of climbing stairs at bedtime? Search for homes with the master bedroom on the main level. Or, search by floor plan type, such as one-story, two-story, or split-level designs. You can even search for designs according to specific architectural styles such as Country, Colonial, European, and many, many more. From cabins to mansions, we have plans for them all - and we've made it easy to find the one you'll want to call "home."
FamilyHomePlans.com offers a very unique and diverse collection of home plans.
At FamilyHomePlans.com, we offer an enormous variety of home plans from today's best residential architects and home designers. FamilyHomePlans.com is not one of those house plan websites that limits your selection to the "most popular home plans." Rather, it's the diversity of our huge home plan collection that will help you discover a floor plan design that complements your day-to-day lifestyle and life-stage. Plus, you'll experience the satisfaction of building a home that's styled to suit your individual tastes.
When I order a home plan from FamilyHomePlans.com, will it be shipped directly to me from the designer or architect?
Yes. When you order home plans from FamilyHomePlans.com, the construction drawings will be shipped to you directly from the design firm that designed your new home. If you have any questions before or during the construction of your new house, simply call the design firm listed on the first page of the construction prints.
Building a new home but can't find the "perfect" home plan?
It is not uncommon for our customers to want to make changes to a home's floor plan. Depending on your individual needs, you may want to move walls or increasing the size of your garage. Maybe you'll need to change the home's foundation type, or increase ceiling heights to suit your specific taste. Whatever the case, your homebuilder or a local home designer can help you make changes, or you can call our modification service at 800-235-5700. Remember, any home plan can be changed, and almost any change can be made, so let our experienced design staff create a customized home plan that meets your specific needs and desires.
Do you offer any free home plans?
No, our home plans are not free. We do, however, offer free subscriptions to our quarterly house plan magazine, as well as a free monthly e-newsletter, "Home Designs for Better Living." Plus, we have an extensive offering of home plan books - many of which are available for only the cost of shipping.
About The Garlinghouse Company…
The year was 1907. Theodore Roosevelt was president. America's first gas station began filling thirsty tanks. Oklahoma became the 47th state. And Lewis F. Garlinghouse got an idea for a new way to promote his construction business. Garlinghouse started displaying photographs and floor plans of his bungalow designs in the window of a local Topeka, Kansas bank. His designs quickly grabbed the attention of homebuilders and buyers, and before long, Garlinghouse made the decision to begin printing his home plans. The rest is, as they say, history.
One hundred years later the demand for home plans from Garlinghouse continues. We've come a long way from displaying home plans in bank windows. Today, we offer access to over 21,000 home plans on the Internet through FamilyHomePlans.com and through home plan books available in bookstores from coast to coast.
