The creative side of building is what inspired Steve Essick to become involved in custom home building. Designing each individual home becomes a one-of-a-kind piece of art. A custom home by Essick Enterprises, Inc. will be as unique as the family living in it.

A true custom builder, Steve Essick builds to suit the client. Whether it is traditional construction or use of the technologically advanced building philosophy Steve Essick has incorporated in his latest model in the Hill Country community of Waterstone.

His philosophy of building incorporates a multitude of technological advances apt for today’s home buyer. Integrated concrete forms (I.C.F), more specifically, Perform Wall ™, and Icynene ™ insulation, provide a construction technique that allows for an R-50 wall to roof envelope system which gives the homeowner the advantage of low energy costs (5000+ sq ft is approximately $200 mo.), superior construction, fire, pest, and mold resistance. The use of an indoor air filtration system provides a constant flow of fresh air throughout the house. Other advances used are solar panels, CAT 5 systems, fiber optics, audio/video, security, and home automation.

	Essick Homes uses Perform Wall® Panels. They are machined to very precise tolerances, ensuring accurate alignment during construction, which results in straight and even wall sections, regardless of orientation. More information.

Essick Homes uses Icynene® insulation. Icynene®, the leading soft foam insulation and air barrier system, is becoming the industry standard for providing maximum building envelope performance. Icynene’s pour and spray formulations represent a breakthrough in the science of moisture and thermal management. More information.

Essick Homes uses Isokern Fireplaces. For over 50 years in Denmark, Isokern has evolved as a fully automated company that manufactures the finest products for heating and venting efficiency. Utilizing Icelandic volcanic stone, Isokern has achieved vast insulating values in the production of chimneys, firechests and fireplaces for indoor and outdoor use. More information.
