Your Space.
Designed Around
Your Life.

Custom-designed living spaces and custom homes built for how you actually live. Man caves, she-sheds, mother-in-law suites, pool houses, guest houses, and more.

What We Build

Custom Spaces. Built Right.

We design and build custom, climate-controlled, finished living spaces that match your home's architecture. Real siding. Real insulation. Real HVAC. Real plumbing and electrical. Every project starts with your life: what you want to do in the space, how you want it to feel, what it needs to do. Then we design it, price it, and build it.

As a licensed Home Builder and General Contractor, we also build custom homes from the ground up. One team, one contract, one warranty.

The Difference

Custom Designer Space vs. a Metal Box

The factor that determines resale value isn't the framing material. It's the finish quality and design. Here's what separates what we build from what the shed guys build.

Basic Metal Shop / Shed Builder

  • ×Thin-gauge steel or low-grade wood, snap-together kit
  • ×Bare shell, no insulation, no finish
  • ×No utilities, or a retrofit extension cord
  • ×Fixed dimensions from a catalog
  • ×Industrial look that doesn't match your home
  • ×No HVAC, no plumbing, no electrical
  • ×Can detract from property value if poorly finished
  • ×15-20 year warranty on finish
