CUSTOM HOME BUILDER

Choosing a capable and reliable custom home builder is hard!

The first challenge is finding a custom home builder who is actually capable of building your uniquely designed new construction home or historic renovation. Then you have to know if you can trust them to respect your time and budget during the process.

Red Oak Builders only takes on challenging or complex custom home builds and historic renovations where the owner needs an extraordinary builder to fulfill their project goals. Our founder, Anthony, has established a methodology for forthright communications and calm problem solving that sets Red Oak apart from ordinary builders and put the owner at ease during their custom home build.

CUSTOM COMMERCIAL BUILDER

You need a Partner, not just any Builder for your Commercial Fit-out.

Many builders just don't have the expertise, let alone the patience needed to successfully build a custom commercial fit out for a new business venture. They want to leave once the box is 90% complete and don't want to give the attention needed to all the details that will make your space truly one of a kind.

Red Oak Builders has development experience as well as general contracting and knows what is needed to make a commercial space successful. They take pride in figuring out creative solutions to complex problems along side you and your design team. Red Oak does not take on chain commercial projects and thrives on the local details that make your space unique.

Why do people love building with Red Oak Builders?

"Anthony really knows what he's talking about, and we've met with a number of builders that weren't nearly as sharp, honest and truly knowledgeable. If I could give Red Oak a 6 Star, I would. Thanks for everything!"

Christopher Penasa

Custom Home Client

"Anthony was extremely knowledgeable but also very calm throughout the process and solved problems or challenges with zero drama as they came up. We've used a number of GC's in the past and this was the first one who was completely forthright and did not cause drama. That was huge for us..."

"They did a fantastic job! Some contractors over promise and under deliver. Not Red Oak. They are straightforward and realistic. This helped me accurately budget and anticipate the timeline. On top of that, their work is very high quality, from both workmanship and creativity standpoints."
