PXL_20240905_145622380
In this guide, you’ll discover the exact products and systems that go into every RGB home, and why we trust them to deliver lasting performance, safety, and comfort for your family.

At RGB Custom Builders, every home we build is a reflection of decades of experience, attention to detail, and an uncompromising standard for quality. While great design and craftsmanship get the spotlight, the real strength of your home lies in the materials you don’t always see—framing, insulation, roofing, plumbing, windows, and more. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to partner with the industry’s most reliable manufacturers. The brands we use are not only backed by performance and innovation—they’re tested in the real world, every single day, right here in the Poconos. In this guide, you’ll discover the exact products and systems that go into every RGB home, and why we trust them to deliver lasting performance, safety, and comfort for your family.

Why These Materials Matter

You can’t build a great home with average materials. That’s why RGB doesn’t take shortcuts or settle for builder-grade supplies. We choose each material for how it performs in the long run—across seasons, in changing weather, and under the real demands of daily life.

We focus on:

  • Durability – products that stand the test of time
  • Energy efficiency – keeping your home comfortable and cost-effective
  • Warranty and service – so you have peace of mind
  • Compatibility – materials that work together for stronger, healthier homes

Every brand on this list is part of our promise to build better—from the ground up.

Conclusion: Build with Confidence

Building your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. That’s why we treat every choice—from framing to HVAC systems—as if we were building for our own families.

The result? A home that feels as strong and quiet as it looks beautiful. A space that keeps you comfortable, reduces maintenance costs, and holds its value over time. And the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home was built with the very best.

Testimonials

We have been dealing with RGB since 2005 and have found them to be a very high quality custom home builder.

President Robert Brown has been and continues to be a leader who takes pride in the quality of the homes he builds. Bob is an experienced professional who not only manages the finance, design and construction process. He also follows up on customer concerns after homes are built to insure that customers are not experiencing any problems.

I recall a concern where we requested Bob’s assistance with a deck at my father’s home which was purchased in 2008 and developed a problem just before it was sold in 2018. Bob did not hesitate to visit the property to not only review the issue but suggested a correction be made and also handled the work involved to resolve the issue in time for the closing. This was almost 10 years AFTER the purchase in 2008!

It is now more than 3 years after RGB constructed the home where we currently reside. A few floor areas have developed an annoying squeaking, so Bob stopped by to address this concern and will have his crew return in the near future to correct this problem. Of course, we are certainly delighted with his continued support years after the initial construction!

We can confidently say that RGB is the only builder that we would ever choose or recommend for new construction as they have delivered excellent work, time and time again.
