At Cates Fine Homes, we work with home-dreamers who appreciate individuality, integrity, quality and value. Our homes are distinctly different, and many of them feature details that few builders have the skill to build. Whether your dream home is a right-size nest or a spacious family home, we encourage you to think outside the ordinary tan box.
BUILD
IF AN ARCHITECT DRAWS IT, WE CAN BUILD IT.
QUALITY NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION
We’re an architectural builder
Our highly skilled carpenters and tradesmen are fully capable of building any architectural detail or style—and they love the challenge of building something they’ve never built before.
Quality homes over quantity
Cates approaches home building as a craft, not a production line. We are not a high-volume developer. You’ll never suffer the long-term disappointments of cost-cutting, cookie-cutter building practices.
We build amazing things
Other contractors wouldn’t dream of taking on the challenges that we embrace. If your pie-in-the-sky ideas have already been rejected by another builder, give us a call.
