Building Quality
Homes with Pride
Pride
in a job well done, and a passion for craftsmanship, are a heritage
passed down through three generations of Tropea tradesman. Today,
Fred Tropea continues the tradition at Tropea Communities –
building homes with pride and a commitment to quality and integrity.
Tropea Communities is a premier builder of new-home
communities in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The company, headed
by Fred Tropea, represents the third generation of a family
with deep roots in the construction industry. Dating back
to the 1920s, Tropea family members were carpenters and masons
- craftsmen with an eye for detail and a belief in the importance
of doing the job right.
A
Foundation of Excellence
For Fred Tropea, an "old school" approach to building
has been the foundation of Tropea Communities' contemporary
success. The company focuses on the time-honored traditions
of quality and craftsmanship.
The Tropea building team consists of craftsman
selected for exceptional workmanship, professionals skilled
in engineering, design and construction management, and trusted
subcontractors who share the Tropea commitment to excellence.
Together, the Tropea team works to create homes that will
be enjoyed and appreciated for a lifetime.
From the poured concrete foundations,
through to interior and exterior finishing, Tropea homes exceed
every standard for excellence. While many builders panelize
homes with prefabricated components, Tropea tradesmen construct
each home completely on-site using traditional building methods.
This hands-on approach assures construction integrity from
the first nail to the finishing touches. The company incorporates
energy efficient technologies and products that meet or exceed
the Environmental Protection Agency's EnergyStar recommendations.
Additionally, before settlement, a Tropea manager spends several
days inspecting the home to assure that every detail has been
perfected.
A Commitment
to Home Buyers
Complete customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal for Tropea
Communities. From the initial selection of a home model, to
choosing interior options, and throughout construction, Fred
Tropea and his team work to develop a partnership with buyers,
getting to know them, and helping them create homes that reflect
their individual tastes and personalities. Ideas and questions
are invited, and buyers are welcome to visit the building
site as their home takes shape. Because partnership relies
on trust, the Tropea team is committed to honesty and integrity
in all aspects of a construction project.
Costs, timelines and opportunities are
reviewed in detail. Lines of communication are established
so buyers can always connect with their project manager. And,
Tropea managers work hard to be responsive and attentive to
buyer requests. In every aspect of the project, the Tropea
team strives to make the building experience exciting and
enjoyable.

From his earliest days,
Fred Tropea was immersed in the construction
industry. He worked with his family as he
was growing up, spending summers and school
vacations involved in building projects. Shortly
after graduating from college, Fred combined
his building experience with his interest
in electrical work, and formed his own electrical
contracting company, specializing in renovations
and new home construction. During
the following 22 years, Fred built a successful
company, while keeping his hand in the construction
business. He managed general contracting
projects for friends and family, and partnered
on projects with other builders. In 1987,
Fred decided to focus on his passion for
the “heavy machinery and dirt, the
hands-on work of crafting a home, and the
satisfaction of a job well done.”
He changed his focus from electrical contracting
to building, and formed his own construction
company. For more than 15 years, Fred has
enjoyed steady growth in both his business
and reputation, creating successful vibrant
communities along with many satisfied customers.
Today, Tropea Communities builds more than
150 homes annually. |
