For 50 years, J.A. Myers Homes has been helping people turn their dream homes into reality. This family-run business, now in its second generation, has built more than 10,000 homes across nearly 1,500 communities—all within about 30 miles of its hometown in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
What sets them apart? It’s simple: they really listen to what homeowners want. Whether you’re buying your first place, upgrading, downsizing, or building something totally custom, J.A. Myers gives you the freedom to create a home that fits your lifestyle.
Homes built your way
Customization is at the heart of what J.A. Myers Homes does. From floorplans to finishes, buyers get to make their home truly their own. Want to move a wall? Add extra windows? Pick out your own cabinets, countertops, and lighting? No problem.
President Ben Myers—who literally grew up in the business—says it best:
“We’re the builder of choices.”
He’s worked in just about every role in the company since he was 14, learning from his dad and the team, and now leads the company with the same passion and commitment to doing things right.
“We want people to feel like they had a say in the design of their home,” says Myers. “Whether it’s a quick sketch on a napkin or a detailed plan, we take their ideas seriously and bring them to life.”
Quality you can count on
From affordable townhomes to spacious custom homes, every customer gets the same level of service. J.A. Myers includes a ton of high-quality standard features that other builders often charge extra for.
“We provide a great home for the value,” Myers says. “Most of our homes already include what people are looking for, and if they do want more, they can always add it.”
The company also goes the extra mile with service—even after the home is finished. There’s a full walkthrough before move-in, then follow-ups at three months and 10 months, and a 10-year structural warranty. Plus, their service team is on-call 24/7, so homeowners never feel left hanging.
Pride in every home
Ben Myers wants people to feel proud of their home—and he wants to feel that same pride when walking through the community.
“If I see a homeowner in the grocery store, I want to be able to walk up and say hello, not avoid them,” he says. “That’s why I tell my team: treat every home like it’s your own.”
That mindset runs through the whole company, from how they build to how they treat people. And it extends to their support of local charities and causes—they don’t just build houses, they invest in the communities they build in.
Looking ahead
The team at J.A. Myers Homes is staying focused on what matters most: building great homes in great locations. They’re always looking for the right spots to create new neighborhoods, and they’re selective to make sure each one makes sense for both the customer and the company.
Their latest communities, Eagle Rock and Quarry Oaks, are perfect examples of how they’re continuing to evolve while staying true to their roots: flexible design, strong service, and genuine care.
