We're a family-owned, faith-guided general contractor serving the Phoenix metro area for 14 years. Our work spans residential remodels and new builds as well as select commercial and multi-family projects.

Our Christian-based values guide how we lead, serve, and treat people, with integrity, humility, and excellence in everything we do. (We welcome people of all backgrounds and beliefs; see our EEO statement below.)

Proven track record delivering projects on time and on budget with happy clients and repeat-ready subs.
Strong planning, sequencing, and problem-solving skills; decisive under pressure.
Clear, professional communicator, equally confident with clients, subs, and executives.
