About Us | Haven Builders, Inc.

Why Haven Builders?

Haven Builders focuses on building homes with the utmost care and precision. Our goal is not only to build the highest quality home for our customers, but we want to make the entire building process enjoyable. We are dedicated to good communication to keep our homeowners informed, so sound decisions can be made throughout construction. Ultimately, we strive for complete homeowner satisfaction. We want to build a beautiful home where a family can grow and create memories together.

Our Philosophy

Although we take great pride in all aspects of home construction quality, we pay extra attention to all structural aspects of your home. We strongly believe that if the structural components of home construction - excavation, footings, foundation, drainage, framing, and roofing - are completed well, all other aspects of the home will fall into place. Poor foundation and framing impacts the final aesthetics of the home as it leads to poor interiors. Drywall, tile, carpentry, and other finishes cannot hide poor framing.

Further, structural problems are extremely difficult and expensive to correct after the home is built, so we want to take the time to do it right. The vast majority of foundation and structural problems are created from water - improper drainage from poor planning and/or poor construction. We take great care to insure water is properly collected and moved away from the home's foundation. Insuring all structural aspects of a home are constructed well is our highest priority.

Once the structural components are completed well, we are extremely meticulous about all rough-in and finish work. We want the systems to be designed for maximum efficiency and comfort. Visually, we want your home to look beyond exceptional when completed.
