Design + Build
Our Design Methodolgy
We believe that your home is a place where you will absolutely spend some of the most quality moments of your life, so every space deserves a unique and comfortable creation that showcases your individual style. Rick Russell Homes has always approached building with the simple tenet that says "we build homes, not houses." The firm's original designs, whether they are modern, traditional, cottage, transitional, or something inbetween, combine a certain luxury and functionality, while respecting your budget.
We start by eagerly listening to you, our Client. Our willingness to listen, coupled with our shared excitement about the architectural and aesthetic components of your project beginning to incorporate the ideas into reality, that make our work so wonderful. Our team members follow our Design + Build system and process. We work alongside with you on a new home or remodel to create the project's concept, help make the tangled web of decisions more manageable, and when to make them, and work tirelessly to reach from the startup of construction to final completion.
