We chose Rick to build our dream home after interviewing a number of builders; we know many in the area and some you might call the 'builders to the stars'. Rick had integrity and it showed in the homes we were shown and the comments from the other home owners that had used him verified that.

Our goal is simple - to be the best at what we do!
From the time of my interview with Rick Milburn, I knew that the addition we were planning to our home was in good hands. I had interviewed other contractors before meeting Rick, and he was, by far, the one I felt best about. I knew he would stay close to the job and be on the jobsite everyday...and I was absolutely right about that.
