About ARD Builders

Two builders.
One standard.

Rick and Andy are on every job site, every day. No project managers relaying messages — you work directly with the people building your home.

We keep our project list intentionally small so every home gets our full attention and the highest level of craft.

How We Work

From first call to move-in day

Conversation

We start by listening. Tell us what you're imagining, your budget range, and timeline.

02

Planning

We develop detailed plans, material selections, and a transparent project estimate.

03

Building

Rick and Andy are on-site daily. You always know who's building your home.

04

Handoff

A final walkthrough together, then the keys are yours. We stand behind every detail.
