An Introduction to GW Custom Homes

Growing up, I spent all of my summers working for my father's company (a custom home builder in Carefree). Starting at the ripe old age of 8 years old, hot summer days were spent with my brothers sweeping and cleaning houses under construction. As I got older, I worked thru the ranks of the different trades - site work & excavation, concrete, masonry, framing, roofing and drywall to name a few. By the time I graduated high school I was well versed in the trades and the residential construction business. At that point I realized that the opportunity to go to college was probably a good thing. After all, I didn't want to continue down the path of my Father, building houses. After four years at ASU, seven years in Chicago working for a major business consulting firm and getting married, I decided that building houses is what I was destined to do. In 2002 my wife and I returned to Arizona and I founded GW Custom Homes.

GW Custom Homes builds on average three new homes per year. Our homes can be found from Paradise Valley to Desert Mountain. Hillside homes from five to fifteen thousand square feet are what we do best. We work with the area's top architects, interior designers and landscaping designers to hand craft one of a kind luxury homes.

I am very selective of who we choose to build a new home for. I choose to build only a few homes per year so that our clientele and their homes get the necessary attention to detail. Most of our competitors can build a house, but our attention to continually developing systems and processes to facilitate a wonderful experience for our clients, set us apart from the competition.

Most of our custom home clients are Business Owners, CEOs, Attorneys, Doctors and CPAs. More than half of our clients reside out of state while we build their vacation or second home in the Phoenix area.

The team at GW Custom Homes that makes everything happen was carefully selected. I have employed only the most experienced and reputable staff to assist me. Our superintendents, project managers, accounting and customer service staff all have a minimum of 15 years experience in the high-end custom home business. Our lead superintendent has been building custom homes in North Scottsdale for more than 20 years. Our subcontractors and vendors are the best in the business. We demand a lot from our subs and in return we keep them very busy. They only work in the high end custom home markets and for the most part work with just a few other builders of similar stature.

In the end, our goals are very simple. GW Custom Homes is here for the long haul. We are here to make a profit and continually serve our customers. We strive to build the best quality homes at a fair price. In doing so, we provide our customers a positive and enjoyable experience while planning and building their new home. We stand behind our work and our clients love the homes we build for them.
