JAMES CRAIG BUILDERS

Many industry veterans told Craig his ideas would never work. He attributes the company’s success over the last 20 years to the team at James Craig Builders. “Everyone is here for the right reason – to make a difference,” he says. “We have the best people, all focused on building homes that are sustainable and will perform well for years to come. With this in mind, we also build lasting friendships with our customers…in the end, that’s what really matters.”

Advanced Building Practices

James Craig Builders knows there is a difference between a house and a home. We don’t just want to build a place for you to live; we want to create a custom home you will truly love and enjoy for years to come. To help demonstrate how you will benefit from what makes us different, we’ve created a helpful Home Builder Comparison Checklist and a list of our Standard Practices and Inclusions.
