Custom Homes in Longview
People in Longview call Greg for custom homes, lodge-style homes and craftsman builds. He's a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor out of Rainier, about 51 miles away, and every Longview job starts with a free estimate.
In the river valleys and farm country, a good building site is one that stays dry — set above the low ground, with the water steered away from the foundation before anything goes up. It also takes someone who knows how to build for this climate and these soils, and how to get a home permitted on rural and suburban lots across Western Washington.
One customer called Greg “a man of integrity.” Another wrote that he “does excellent work.”

Permit applications, clearing, excavation and grading, with drainage planned before the foundation goes in.

A concrete foundation poured for your soil and a frame built square and tight, like the large custom-home framing in Greg's photos.

Cowlitz County, WA
Custom Homes around Longview
Greg works all over Longview — near Columbia Valley Gardens, Valley View Tracts and Lake Sacajawea Park and out by Vandercook Park and Mount Solo — and throughout Cowlitz County.
Longview sits on the Columbia River in Cowlitz County, across from Rainier, Oregon. Longview is about 51 miles south of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area.
Western Washington buildings fight water more than anything — months of rain, moss on the roof, rot wherever wood stays wet, and soils that hold moisture. A building lasts when it sits on a proper foundation with drainage around it, is wrapped and flashed right, and is built to dry out.

Questions
Custom Homes in Longview: FAQs
Do you do custom homes in Longview, WA?
Yes. Longview is about 51 miles south of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles custom homes, lodge-style homes and craftsman builds there, and the estimate is free.
Do I need a permit for custom homes in Longview?
It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Longview's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.
What does a custom home cost to build?
Square footage, the complexity of the design, your finishes and the lot itself drive the price. A steep or wooded lot, a long driveway or soil that needs extra foundation work all add cost, while a simpler footprint saves money. Greg gives a free estimate and can show you where choices like timber accents or stonework change the number.
Can you build from plans I already have?
Yes. If you have plans from a designer or a plan you bought, Greg reviews them against your site and local permit requirements and suggests changes where they would save money or build better. If you are starting from scratch, he will help you develop the design.
What's the difference between a custom home and new home construction?
A custom home is designed around you, from the layout and style to every finish. New home construction covers proven plans like ramblers and two-stories built on your land. Greg builds both start to finish; the difference is how much of the design is one of a kind.
How involved will Greg be in my build?
Very. Greg's promise is that you work with him directly, with no middlemen. He prices your job, answers your questions and checks the work as it goes, and customers mention his integrity and that he follows through on what he promises.
