What We Do

About CitiHomes

We design and build new homes (and smaller “carriage homes”) and we focus on infill lots in existing neighborhoods. We are based in Roanoke, VA and work on projects in the immediate area.

When we started Towne & Country Custom Homebuilders, LLC (TCCHB) in 2015, the idea was to use our knowledge of the factory-built housing industry to help homeowners and investors design and build new homes that performed well and met their owners’ needs for many years to come. Along the way, we decided to simplify our goals by focusing more on infill opportunities and at the same time strive to incorporate more new technologies into our homes in hopes of making them more user-friendly, sustainable and efficient.

Utilizing modular construction (that’s where the factory-built housing comes in) is at the heart of what we do. It just makes sense to take advantage of the opportunity to complete most of the building process itself in a controlled environment where materials, labor, time and weather are known quantities.

We have selected Modular Building Systems of Pennsylvania (MBSofPA) to perform the engineering and factory-construction portions of our homes. They have the manufacturing capacity to build virtually any structure we might need, and they have the experienced management and construction teams to build it well. We add the necessary finishing touches on-site to ensure that each home is unique and still blends in with the surrounding neighborhood.

Andrew R. Scholz

Andy has been active in the factory-built housing industry since 1982. While serving as vice president of a national trade association for the factory-built housing industry, he designed and administered a national training program designed to teach residential developers and homebuilders how to incorporate factory-built housing into their residential development projects. He helped the nation’s largest factory-built housing manufacturer create the nationwide marketing plan to support their 12 manufacturing plants. He has also represented several modular home manufacturers by working with large and small local developers and homebuilders to design and build custom modular homes for their new home projects. He started Towne & Country Custom Homebuilders, LLC in 2015 and holds a Virginia Class A Building license with classifications for both residential and commercial construction.

Jeffery Ellis

Jeff has been involved in the construction industry since 1992 as a heavy equipment operator and a residential contractor with a Class A license. In addition to project management, he has extensive site development experience, from building roads and commercial sites to finishing individual homesites. As a homebuilder, he constructed site-built homes as well as modular and panelized homes. He also constructed metal buildings for commercial applications.

His talents extend to furniture-making, as well. In 2015 he was lured out of semi-retirement to manage the custom furniture shop at Black Dog Salvage in Roanoke, VA, where he worked with clients to design and build custom dining tables, conference tables, custom bars for both restaurants and private residences, and many other unique projects fashioned from reclaimed building materials. In 2021, Jeff started doing some home remodeling projects.

Andy and Jeff met in 2022 when Jeff was hired to complete a remodeling project for Andy and his wife Claire. The two found they had similar ideas about homebuilding and wanted to concentrate on building smaller, unique projects that were closer to home, even if they were a bit more challenging. Thus, CitiHomes was born and the name was added under the TCCHB umbrella.
