Building With Us

Your purchase contract and deposit are directly with Palmetto Estates LLC (the Seller). RESCO is the sales team representing the Seller throughout the process — from reservation through contract, design, and closing. S&S Homes is the builder responsible for constructing your home.

S&S Homes has been building quality homes in Bakersfield for thirty years with its own full local staff and long-standing relationships with established local contractors, focusing on semi-custom, high-end production homes with extensive customization.

No, but you're welcome to bring one. Your agent will work directly with RESCO, the sales team representing the Seller.

Your RESCO sales agent will walk you through deposit requirements and timeline once you've selected a lot and floor plan. This reservation and the deposit are made directly with the Seller.

Yes. You'll submit your requested changes through RESCO, who obtains approval and pricing from the Seller. S&S Homes, as the builder, then carries out the approved changes.

RESCO coordinates and runs your two design appointments, where you'll select cabinets, countertops, finishes, and more. S&S Homes sets the upgrade cutoff dates based on your home's construction schedule.

Change requests go through RESCO, who will confirm whether it's still possible based on the cutoff dates S&S Homes sets according to construction progress.

S&S Homes handles everything building-related, from trench to final walkthrough. RESCO remains a point of contact for questions, but S&S Homes is the exclusive party constructing your home.

S&S Homes provides a 12-month fit and finish warranty. Coverage begins once escrow closes and the Seller officially hands off the warranty program to S&S Homes.

Once escrow closes and the warranty transfers, S&S Homes' customer service team handles all warranty requests directly.

S&S Homes' full local staff oversees every build, and the frame walk serves as a structured quality control checkpoint to verify structural integrity and craftsmanship.

Conventional, FHA, and VA loans are all accepted. Since S&S Homes builds and sells completed homes, you won't need a construction loan — standard mortgage financing applies, arranged through the Seller and RESCO.
