Our Story

Quality Custom Homes

When Patrick and James launched Simply Home LLC, they combined more than 25 years of experience in the building trade and a passion for working with clients to deliver quality homes that reflect the needs, desires and personalities of the owners. They share a vision of helping families do more than build a house and are committed to helping clients customize the home of their dreams.

Through open and frequent communication, Simply Home prides itself on engaging with clients at each phase of a project, following through on details large and small that result in an exceptionally constructed home.

The team at Simply Home looks forward to being a trusted partner on our clients’ journey toward building a unique custom home.

At Simply Home, “We Build Beautiful”.

Our Team

Our hope is that at the end of each project our homeowners have not only a top-notch house, but they have the home they have envisioned, reflecting their individual needs and wants. To realize that goal we must build the best and most – appropriate teams possible, which is why Simply Home has strong, long-term relationships with many seasoned professionals – architects, designers, sub-contractors and suppliers – to provide both the quality and detail that make every home we build special.

More than just another custom home builder

We pride ourselves on being more than just another custom home builder.  We have taken high-end home design and made it affordable without compromising quality.  Whether the style of home is French Country, Colonial or Modern the finished product always feels authentic and like home. Our objective is to deliver the dream home…on time and within budget, and exceed the expectations of our customers.
