The Team

Building a custom home is an exciting process, but there’s no doubt that it is an extremely detail oriented process, as well. The stages of construction, from design to completion, consist of many steps – all of which take place in a carefully planned sequence.  This can sometimes feel overwhelming.  That’s why building a new home takes a team of trained professionals to turn your dream into a reality. These individuals will work closely with you, as well as each other, to guide you along every step of the way.  It is important for you to get acquainted with the people who will build your home.  Allow us to introduce you to our team!

Meet The Team


Building a home truly is a collaborative effort.  One of our proudest accomplishments, aside from the growth of the business, is our team.  In addition to the individuals mentioned above, Helen Scott Custom Builders also employs multiple carpenters, tradesmen, and field assistants.  Our carpenters have decades of experience in their trade.  Their attention to detail and superior craftsmanship is unparalleled.  There is no question that the portfolio of work that our carpenters display truly defines them as “masters” in their field.

Our tradesmen and field assistants are also valuable members of the team, and quite literally, are the “jack-of-all-trades”.  They, too, combine decades of experience in residential construction and remodeling, and are involved in the many phases of construction.

Last, but not least, we have our sub-contractors and suppliers.  Many of them have been associated with the company for over 25 years, and several are also in their 2nd generation of ownership.  We cherish the long-lasting relationships that we have established with these individuals and companies on both a personal and professional level.  The longevity of these relationships has helped make projects flow more smoothly and guaranteed a consistent product for many years.
