At Somerset Custom Homes, our team enjoys working with engaged customers who want to learn about their future home from the ground up and interact through each phase of construction. Our detailed work with each homeowner forms a long-term relationship we are happy to enjoy for years beyond the completion of their projects. Our family truly loves to build homes for great people—there is no other profession we know in which you can give so much to others and receive so much in return!
From lot review, concept and design, to budgeting, finance and building, our process ensures the customer understands all phases and expectations of custom home construction. It’s a complex yet extremely rewarding process that we have worked to streamline for our homeowners over the past 40 years.
In our family, we like to say we have sawdust in our veins. My father and his brothers were in construction and farming all of their lives. I joined them early and have been building my entire life. They taught me the value of hard work and the importance of an entrepreneurial spirit.
When you work for yourself, you need to learn it all and do it all yourself. I’ve been working for myself and with my family and customers for 40 years, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s been an honor to develop lifelong relationships and design and craft hundreds of homes and custom projects for our customers throughout the decades.
