The McKinley Homes Difference
Discover the McKinley Homes Difference: Where Quality and Luxury Are Standard Features
When shopping for a new home, it’s easy to get swept away by the beauty of a model home—until you realize that many of the features you love come with a hefty price tag as upgrades. At McKinley Homes, we do things differently. We believe that a home should come fully equipped with high-quality finishes and smart design choices, right from the start.
That’s the McKinley Homes Difference—our promise to deliver exceptional quality and value with a carefully curated list of included features that are considered upgrades by most other builders.
Setting a New Standard in Interior Excellence
At the heart of every McKinley Summit Collection home is a focus on craftsmanship, durability and design. Our interiors are built not just to look good, but to feel like home from day one.
The Kitchen Difference
Your kitchen is one of the most important spaces in your home, and we treat it that way.
- Upgraded Soft-Close Cabinets (per community): These aren’t your typical builder-grade cabinets. Soft-close doors and drawers provide a premium touch and longer-lasting durability.
- Designer Backsplash Tile: Beautiful and easy to maintain, our beautiful and durable tile backsplashes add a practical, contemporary flair to your kitchen—without the extra cost.
- High-Quality Stainless-Steel Appliances: Modern, functional and included in every home, these appliances give your kitchen a polished, professional look.
The Interior Difference
Step inside a McKinley Summit Collection home and experience a difference you can feel—literally.
- 48-Inch Electric or Gas Fireplace: Installed in the family or great room, this statement feature adds warmth, ambiance, and a focal point to your main living space where family and friends can gather for years to come.
- Sherwin-Williams Low VOC Paint: Choose from a stylish palette of colors while enjoying a healthier indoor environment, thanks to low-VOC paints.
- Energy-Efficient Windows: Our low-E, double-pane insulated windows offer comfort and savings by improving your home’s energy performance, while providing beauty and natural light.
- Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) Flooring: Installed in all first-floor halls, great rooms, kitchens and studies, SPC flooring is 100% waterproof, sound-absorbing, stain-resistant and dent-resistant. It combines luxury with practicality—and it’s included.
Exterior Features That Protect and Impress 
Your home’s exterior isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s your first line of defense against the elements.
The Exterior Difference
- Full House Gutters: While many builders skip this step or charge extra, we include high-quality gutters across the entire home to help protect your foundation and landscaping from rain and snow.
- Durable, Low-Maintenance Materials: Though not always seen at first glance, our commitment to quality extends to every layer of your home’s exterior envelope.
Peace of Mind, Built-In
Buying a new home should come with confidence and peace of mind—and at McKinley Homes, it does.
The Warranty Difference
- Year 1: You’re covered directly by McKinley Homes, with responsive service and a team that stands behind its work.
- Years 2–10: You’re protected by a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, which includes coverage for electrical systems, supply and waste plumbing, ductwork and even the structural integrity of your home.
Real Value. Real Comfort. Real Quality.
