Building in Liberty Township
Between new construction and remodeling, Liberty Township keeps our calendar full most of the year.
Based in Gratis, we treat Liberty Township as home ground rather than an outlying job. A crew that is not spending hours in a truck starts earlier and stays later, which shows up in the schedule.
Samuel Hand started the company in 2015 because the builders he was working around could not promise work that lasted generations.
Method stays constant across the service area. Drawings before dirt, structure before finish, walkthrough before sign-off.
If you are planning something in Liberty Township, the first step is a conversation and a set of drawings.
What building here involves
Two broad categories dominate: mid-century houses with good bones and tired mechanicals, and newer construction with current systems but builder-grade everything and floor plans that never quite work.
Ohio weather is the constant. Freeze-thaw cycling works on every joint, slab and foundation wall. Wind-driven rain finds flashing installed the wrong direction. Humidity in July and single digits in January put an envelope through a range most of the country never sees.

We deal with the building department. Each one has its own pace and its own expectations for a submission, and familiarity with both keeps projects moving.
Proximity is a practical advantage. Our people are on site sooner, stay longer, and can be back the same day if you need them.

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.

The phone gets answered by someone who can actually speak to your job. That is the whole policy.
The project closes with a shared walkthrough and a completed punch list, not with an invoice.

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.
Our own workmanship is covered too. If we got something wrong, we return and correct it, which is only sustainable because we do not overcommit the calendar.
Liberty Township questions
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.
Can you remodel an older home, or only build new?
Both. A good share of our work is remodeling houses that were built well and are worth keeping.
Do you give a written scope before work starts?
Always. It states what is included, what is excluded, what we expect to find once things are opened up, and how a change gets priced and approved. A one-page quote is how disputes start.
