About Our Homes

The Difference is in the Details

The Schilling Difference

At Schilling Construction, every home is built with care, attention to detail, and pride. We never cut corners or compromise on quality — no matter the size or price of the home. For more than a century, families have trusted Schilling Construction for craftsmanship they can see and quality they can feel.

Our homes are built using engineered truss roofing systems, allowing for flexible, open layouts that can be fully customized. This approach gives homeowners the freedom to move or adjust interior walls and create a floor plan that truly fits their lifestyle, something many builders simply can't offer.

By limiting the number of homes we build each year, we ensure every project receives the hands-on attention it deserves, and every homeowner receives a truly personal building experience.

A Family Legacy of Craftsmanship

For more than 125 years, the Schilling family has been building homes rooted in honesty, integrity, and pride. What began generations ago as a small, family-run business has grown into one of Northwest Indiana's most trusted names in homebuilding.

After decades of dedicated leadership, Dick and Peggy Schilling are now enjoying a well-earned retirement, though their guidance and values remain at the heart of everything we do.

Today, their sons, Richard and John Paul, lead Schilling Construction as the fourth generation of Schilling homebuilders, carrying forward the same high standards of craftsmanship and care that have defined our family for more than a century.
