Warriors program honoring those who have served our country by providing them with new homes .

NEVER ORDINARY

ALWAYS

OUT OF THE BOX!

TOM CECI

Tom Ceci - Co-founder and builder - started the business after years as a young man working side by side with family who were in the construction business for most of their lives. Tom learned the trade from being hands on in the field and working one on one with skilled craftsmen as well as demanding customers. Tom climbed quickly through the ranks to start running his own contracting business that included many trades such as carpentry (framing and interior trim), concrete, electrical, roofing and several others. This hands-on approach and experience taught him valuable lessons about how to build with quality of up most importance.

SCOTT BATES

Scott Bates - Co-Founder and builder - grew up in a family that was in the business of interior finishes and decorating. Scott went to work for a large commercial contracting firm where he quickly became a project manager overseeing large construction projects. His experiences there ranged from in-house mechanical, electrical, plumbing and steel fabrication, as well as general contracting. This unique combination is what makes his experience as a builder different, due to the focus on building sciences, energy efficiencies and interior design.

Both Tom and Scott bring these unique elements to designing and building custom homes and remodels that are unique and challenging, which is why they say “We Build Outside the Box”.
