A different kind of builder

We take on eight homes a year. Never more. Because the difference between a house and a legacy is the attention no volume builder can afford to give.

Every Alder & Stone home begins with your land, your light, and the way your family actually lives. Our architects and craftsmen work under one roof — one team, one contract, one standard.

No handoffs. No finger-pointing. No surprises at the final invoice.

Selected residences.

Each home is designed once, for one family, and never repeated. A few favorites from the last several years.

Why it lasts

Machines cut the wood. Hands build the home.

Our lead carpenters average nineteen years with the firm. They chamfer the edge no one will ever notice, and plumb the wall no one will ever measure — because craft is what you do when no one is checking.

It's also why every Alder & Stone home carries a ten-year structural warranty. Twice what the state requires.

“Build it like your name is on it — because it is.”
