We would love to build your home! Let’s start the conversation today!
Our History
Growing up on the East Coast, Bob Vila was my idol. To see how they transformed old houses into modern day show pieces with charm and integrity was fascinating. In 1987 our family was transferred to Naperville by Montgomery Wards. I’ve witnessed many changes in the town these past 34 years and have come to appreciate all that Naperville has to offer.
Over the spring of 1989 a childhood friend invited me to his parents’ home in Lake Geneva – what a place! I knew someday my family would have a home here but never imagined that we’ll be completing our fourth new adventure in March of 2022. This added exposure to amazing lake homes is a value to our customers. During this time, I developed a tremendous understanding of the construction process and used this knowledge to start my own home building firm. It was clear that my passion would be working with great families to build truly unique homes. Over the years I’ve grown in appreciation for quality workmanship. My team and I have the good fortune to build with some of the area’s best architects, designers, trades and landscape specialists.
“If you want to be remarked about, be remarkable.”
