Our thoughtful and innovative designs, meticulous craftsmanship, and environmentally sensitive approach have become AFH hallmarks, garnering us consistent recognition for over two decades. We've won over 50 awards, including "Custom Home of the Year" FOURTEEN times in the past eighteen years, seven Best of Ohio awards, 2018 & 2020 Best Luxury Builder in Ohio, and nationally recognized in Better Homes & Gardens, Delta Sky Miles, Home Builders Digest, Residential Architects Vision & Excellence, Cleveland Magazine, and more. Being recognized as one of "the best of the best" in our field is always rewarding, but what pleases us most are homeowners who are absolutely thrilled with their homes.
