Steve

Hammer in hand, Steve S. Cardamone was a ready and willing learner from an early age. He quickly discovered that building homes as an employee of others limited his creative and professional vision. Not only did Cardamone bring workmanship, attention to detail and design to the profession, but perhaps more importantly, the understandings of a homeowner. Today, as he works along side his two sons Scott and Corey, this knowledge is at the root of Cardamone Home Builders in Ithaca, New York.

Steve Cardamone began very small by purchasing a fixer-upper with every dollar he could borrow. The house was subsequently transformed into a beautiful home, and sold quickly. With profit in hand Steve moved on, and then on again, always moving forward with the fine craftsmanship, professional service and a die-hard work ethic for which his company is known. Cardamone Home Builders did not rise to the top of Ithaca and Southern Tier homebuilders overnight, but grew through

Cardamone Home Builders continues moving forward as Steve launches yet another development of fine-crafted homes within the Ithaca region. He will leave the completion of this project to Scott and Corey, who exemplify everything their father has taught them about dedication to family, work, community and homebuilding. Steve is very proud of his sons and their outstanding contributions to the family business and trusts that they will continue in his footsteps as quality, custom homebuilders in Ithaca and the Southern Tier.
