From company’s website, “Epoch, it all starts with the name. Epoch means a new beginning, a point in time from which progress can be measured in a given field. Since Epoch was founded in 1983, our progress can be measured by the thousands of satisfied customers living in our homes. Our progress can be measured by the design innovation that Epoch has striven to achieve. The foundation of our philosophy is simple: "Epoch wants to build the best quality homes, not the most homes. Everyone claims they build a quality product, but we want you to compare. Sure, look at the specifications, a most important place to start. However, you also have to look closely at the finished product. Don't be awed by the amenities, look closely at the little details. Are the mitered joints, tight and properly aligned? Does the counter fit the wall or is it filled with caulking? Are there window sills with aprons underneath? Is the trim really wood? Are the cabinet’s solid wood or just veneer? The list is endless. Selfishly, we want you to compare because when you do Epoch's real quality stands out.
