Services
Custom Home Building
We create fully customized homes tailored to individual client specifications. Our process begins with collaborative design sessions and continues through construction oversight, ensuring every detail meets exact requirements. With expertise in both traditional and modern building methods, we deliver homes that combine aesthetic appeal with functional excellence while maintaining strict quality control throughout the building process.
Systems-Built Homes
Our systems-built homes combine factory precision with on-site craftsmanship. Constructed indoors under controlled conditions by Ritz-Craft Corporation, these homes are completed on-site with foundations and finishing touches handled by our expert team. This method ensures faster completion times without compromising quality or customization options available through our design consultation process.
Stick-Built Homes
We specialize in conventional board-by-board construction for complex designs requiring on-site adaptability. Our team manages every construction phase from foundation to finish, maintaining direct oversight of all work. This approach allows maximum flexibility for unique architectural elements while providing a 10-year structural warranty for added client confidence and long-term value.
Excavation Services
Our excavation team prepares building sites with precision grading and foundation work. Led by Chad Davis, we ensure proper lot preparation for both residential and commercial projects. This includes managing drainage requirements, utility access points, and soil stability assessments to create optimal conditions for durable home construction across diverse terrain types.
Foundation Construction
We provide comprehensive foundation solutions tailored to each home's specific requirements. Our expertise includes poured concrete walls, footings, and slab preparations that meet local building codes. Each foundation undergoes rigorous quality checks before proceeding to framing stages, ensuring structural integrity that supports the home's longevity and safety standards.

If my husband and I could do it all again, we wouldn't.
Attached are photos taken UPON POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE. Please notice the banister on the stairs has paint drips... the spindles on the staircase are poorly installed. You can tell the painters did not remove the spindles prior to staining the banister. We discussed this concern with our project manager, and no one ever came back to fix this.
Additionally, there is a hole in the drywall in our garage that also remained unfixed (see photo). I have attached more pictures showing several imperfections of the walls. The walls of the house

We've lived in a Davis home for 2 years and couldn't be more pleased. The quality craftsmanship is second to none and we are so happy that we chose Davis when we decided to build our new home. They guided us through the entire building process, provided many different options and made the entire process extremely easy! They have a forever customer in us!

My Daughter just closed on a beautiful Davis built home. If I were ever to build again, I would definitely use Davis! She did several modifications to the plan and they accommodated in making the home exactly what she wanted! Very well built home. Would recommend Davis Homes to anyone looking to build.

Building a new home can be a very stressful experience for a buyer. Davis Homes took that stress away when it came to my new home and i'm so thankful for that. I had all my questions answered throughout the process, and I had all my concerns addressed in a timely manner. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. I finally have the dream home I have always wanted and I cant wait to make new memories here :) Thank you Davis Homes!
