Our Philosophy

At Skywalker Construction, custom home building is not just about construction plans and 2×4’s. We understand that your home is your most important financial and personal asset. Our drive comes from knowing that we’ve carefully managed, protected and added value to your home. We always take the time to listen well to our clients so we understand what is most important to them. We create a building process that’s enjoyable by providing excellent customer service, ongoing communication, and attention to detail. Based on our reputation, you can rest assured that our full team, including owners, project managers, full time carpenters and sub-contractors, is fully engaged in your project.

At Skywalker Construction we believe it is not enough to just build new custom homes and do renovations. We believe it is critical to build responsibly. Therefore we incorporate environmentally friendly products, recycle what we can and use resources efficiently. We are consistent in our dedication to minimizing the carbon footprint of all our projects and work toward supporting our local community as well as the planet.

In summary, our goal at Skywalker Construction is to work closely with our clients at every step of the way by maintaining a direct role in the execution of your project while responsibly building a home that will withstand the test of time. We look forward to working with you to end up with a home of inspired design, quality and functionality.
