From Builder Tony Carnaggio of Lady Street Builders

It is the mission of our business to listen to our clients, build their vision and exceed their expectations. Clear, consistent and ongoing communication is the most important tool we have to create the comfort level our clients deserve — throughout the entire homebuilding process. We are here to realize their dreams, within their budget and timeline. Our clients can count on us to be there from the initial groundbreaking to the very last lick of paint.

Even after nearly 40 years as a residential builder, my passion for the construction process has NOT changed. For me, it’s fun every day. It is a great honor to build beautiful homes where future generations will create lasting memories. I give the building process everything I have: I use and share my many years of experience, and it allows me to provide thoughtful building and design solutions.

The satisfaction of seeing a happy family move into their home is powerful stuff. I really enjoy getting to know our clients during the building process, and to help them translate their visions into the perfect home. I am honored that our peers respect and recognize the quality of our work. Though Lady Street Builders is known for its beautiful Craftsman and traditional homes both custom and spec, I also enjoy the challenge of building in a variety of other styles. We build in some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the area and we’ll build on your homesite, if you have one. we believe your home should be as unique as the life you live inside it. We hope you will consult with Lady Street Builders for your next home.

Architectural style preferences
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Desired layout and square footage
Functional spaces for your lifestyle
Must-have features and amenities

Some homeowners choose to customize one of our existing floor plans, while others prefer to create a completely custom design from the ground up.

Throughout the process, we maintain open communication so you always feel informed and confident about your new home.
