Preble County work
Home ground. Our shop is in Gratis and most of these towns are a short drive.
We cover all of Preble County from our shop in Gratis: custom home builds on open lots, remodeling inside houses that have been standing for decades, and everything between.
We work with licensed architects to take a sketch through digital drafting to a build-ready blueprint.
Permitting and inspection scheduling in Preble County is part of the job we handle.

Scope, schedule and staying in touch
Scope comes before price here. Once we have written down exactly what the job is, including what we expect to uncover, the number attached to it means something.
We plan around the known constraints: the weather window, the inspection queue and the lead time on anything special-order. Those three explain most delays.

Every client can reach someone who knows their job without going through a switchboard. We tell you about problems while they are still small enough to be decisions.
We finish by walking the project with you. Anything you point at goes on a list, and the list gets completed before we call it done.

What we put in writing
We install standing seam metal carrying a forty-year warranty and dimensional shingles carrying a thirty-year warranty. Neither means much if the flashing is wrong.
Alongside the product warranties, our workmanship is guaranteed. If it is our mistake, it is our repair.
Preble County questions
How long does a custom home take?
From first drawings to move-in, most custom builds run twelve to eighteen months depending on size, site conditions and how quickly selections get made. We give you a real schedule once the plans are final.
Do you work with architects, or do we need our own?
Either way works. We work with licensed architects regularly and can bring one in, or we can build from plans you already have.
What area do you cover?
We work a seventy-mile radius from Gratis, Ohio, which covers Montgomery, Greene, Warren, Butler, Preble and Miami counties.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry the coverage required for residential construction in Ohio and can provide certificates before work begins.
What warranty comes with a standing seam metal roof?
The standing seam metal we install carries a forty-year warranty. Dimensional shingles carry a thirty-year warranty.
Who is actually on site during my build?
Our own crew handles the core work. Samuel is on site through the build, not just at the start and the end.
How do you handle changes once we have started?
Changes get written down, priced and approved before they happen. Nothing gets built off a hallway conversation.
