What we do

Premium residential construction for discerning homeowners and their architects.

We take on a selective number of projects each year: ground-up custom homes, significant additions, and complex remodels where scope, materials, and project management are held to a high standard. Our clients understand that quality comes at a price, and they value the smoother, cleaner process that results from it.

Custom Homes

Ground-up construction in close collaboration with architects, from demolition through move-in.

Major Remodels

Whole-home and large-scale kitchen, bath, and living space renovations with high-end finishes.

Additions

Single and multi-story additions that integrate seamlessly and hold the architectural intent.

Fine Carpentry

Custom millwork, cabinetry, and finish carpentry. The detail work that defines a premium home.

Why Stern

What sets us apart

We are a family-owned company that prioritizes custom homes and large-scale residential projects. We take on a selective number each year so we can give each one the project management and craftsmanship it deserves.

Schedule You Can Count On

We provide a detailed project schedule covering every task, duration, and milestone, and we stick to it. Our last seven large projects were completed on or ahead of schedule, with the most recent two finishing nearly a month early.

Architect Collaboration

Architects like ChesmoreBuck send us their most important projects because we understand drawings, anticipate field conditions, and bring practical insight without fighting the design. Growing these partnerships is central to how we work.

Project Management That Pays For Itself

Good project management comes at a price, but it results in a smoother, cleaner process. Weekly meetings, proactive email updates, and clear decisions mean fewer surprises and fewer delays.

Proven Execution

Over 75 completed projects from ground-up custom homes to complex remodels, including work featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine. We build for clients who understand that quality craftsmanship and experienced management are worth the investment.

For architects & homeowners

A builder your architect will want to work with again.

Firms like ChesmoreBuck Architecture trust us with their most important residential projects. We understand drawings, anticipate field conditions, and bring practical construction insight to the build process instead of fighting the design. If your architect hasn't worked with us yet, they'll be glad they did.

Pre-Construction

We work with you and your architect to define the project scope, coordinate finish selections like tile, cabinets, and countertops, and develop a detailed estimate and schedule before anything begins.

Construction

Your project is managed with a complete schedule covering every task and duration. Weekly meetings and email updates keep you informed. Typical builds run six to twelve months.
