BIOGRAPHY
Tom Carricato grew up in the Harrisburg area impressed with his
father's building skills and knowing that someday he, too, would
be a builder. As a teenager and after high school, Tom worked alongside
his father painting, remodeling, and building additions. Tom took
over the business in 1965 and started building custom homes in 1970.
The apprentice had come full circle when Michael, Tom's father,
began working for Tom.
Today, using a CAD program, Tom himself draws the design for every
home he builds. Tom sits down with his clients--who might or might
not have a sketch, idea, or cut-out picture of what they want in
a home--and begins. No matter how many hours, days, or weeks it
takes, the clients will have a unique home plan. Now that is true
customizing!
| Tom's love for building begins with
his clients' dreams, carries through the design and construction,
and culminates in service that never ends. He is fully committed
to customer service and has earned an excellent reputation for
his focus in this area. Service also means that his clients
are given a homeowners' manual created by the Carricato staff
that guides them through the entire building process —
selections, schedules, warranty program — everything to
help make the adventure of building their home a pleasant and
rewarding one. |

Carricato homes can be found on owners' lots
throughout the area and in the communities of The Tuscan
Villas, The Estates of Forest Hills, Old Iron Estates, Hunt
Club, and Windmere in Lower Paxton Township; Forest Ridge
in South Londonderry Township; River Bend in East Pennsboro
Township; Old Reliance Farms in Lower Swatara Township; McCormick
Crossing in Monroe Township, and Wentworth in Hampden.

The sons in "Thomas J. Carricato & Sons" are Jeff,
Scott and Steve, who have worked in the business since high school.
With the knowledge thay have acquired, they bring much expertise
to their roles as project managers. All phases of custom building
are attended by an experienced and dedicated team of employees and
craftsmen who share a long-standing commitment to Tom's partnership
with his clients in the creation of a home that is uniquely theirs.
Tom served as president of the Homes
Builders Association of Metropolitan Harrisburg in 2002-2003.
He is also a member of the National
Association of Home Builders, the Pennsylvania
Builders Association, the Better Business Bureau of Eastern
Pennsylvania, and the Harrisburg Regional Chamber.
