Letting You in on Birdie’s Little Secrets
December 19, 2022
Over several decades, McKee Builders has taken great pride in providing homebuyers with exceptional customer service and even more exceptional homes. We love what we do and make it a point to do the right thing every day. This means offering not only quality-built homes but homes that can be personalized to fit your life.
There are a few features we include that many builders charge extra for as well as additional options you can select to create your perfect home. As one of our newest additions to the team, Birdie thinks it’s about time we share some little secrets that make McKee Builders’ homes stand apart.

PEX Plumbing Systems
In our homes, we use PEX Plumbing Systems for many reasons.
- PEX can expand to twice its size and then contract, while copper can burst.
- PEX operates on a Manabloc manifold system, which saves energy since it has one continuous run.
- PEX is easier to manage, allowing you to turn the water off at a designated area.
- PEX offers more convenience and peace of mind.
This advanced system is included in all McKee homes and is an upgrade for other builders.
Screened-In Porches
You can screen in the porch as a great addition to any of our floor plans. It’s a great way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors while staying protected from pesky bugs, harsh sun rays, rain, or other inclement weather.
Dog Shower
This is a favorite of our recognizable golden team members, Remy and Birdie. Adding a dog shower is perfect for all of your furry family members. With no or fewer visits to the groomers, this option could save you money and is a great way to spend quality time with your pets.

A Gourmet Kitchen
Perfect for the family’s chefs, the gourmet kitchen option will make each cooking experience, baking moment, and clean-up time much easier. With options like large islands for prepping, wine fridges for your favorite beverages, and so much more, you really can’t go wrong with this addition.
Lofts
If you need a bit more space, lofts are a great addition to many of our floor plans. Fancy yourself a DIY crafter? Make it a craft room! Or maybe you need a playroom for the kids? You can also use it to host visits from extended family. The possibilities are endless!

Office/Flex Spaces
Most of our floor plans have the option for a flex space. This can be especially helpful for those working from home and who need a private office to tackle important tasks. However, the flex space can be a dedicated area for whatever you need it to be — you choose!

From the materials we choose to our unique designs, our homes provide style, intelligence, and value that improve your life. You’ll find these incredible options throughout both of our communities at Friendship Creek in the Bethany Beach Area, DE, and Preserve at Marsh Creek in Chester Springs, PA. McKee Builders’ homes are a cut above the rest and it’s not hard to see why. We can’t wait to show you more about what we offer.
