About Pine Grove

 

Since 1982, Pine Grove Homes has operated as a wholesale manufactured home builder based in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. Our homes are sold throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast United States, including planned communities, active adult communities, and residential home contractors that build homes on private land. Pine Grove has been a trusted source of quality, value, and innovation since its founding. In 2025, Pine Grove entered a new era under the stewardship of Builders FirstSource, one of the most trusted sources in the home construction industry.

 

Welcome

On behalf of everyone here at Pine Grove, thank you for your interest in our company and our homes. Pine Grove Homes is a recognized leader in the field of factory-build home construction, and is among the most respected in the industry. For over four decades, our operating philosophy has remained unchanged: we strive to build manufactured homes of superior quality and uncharacteristic attention to detail at a price within reach.

Pine Grove’s home plans offer wide variety and are designed to embrace the needs of today’s homebuyers. Our highly-engineered, controlled construction takes place under-roof at our manufacturing facility in Pine Grove, PA. We work hard to build and maintain meaningful relationships within our business, from material suppliers to our network of authorized, independent communities, builders, and retailers. Now part of Builders FirstSource, Pine Grove continues to operate with the same long-term perspective and steady, experienced leadership.

Sincerely,
Wayne & Lee Fanelli
