Story Built Homes

Hi — we're Rachel and Chastity, co-founders of Story Built Homes.

If you're thinking about building, we want you to feel welcome to ask questions.

A thoughtful home starts with a relationship you can trust.

Your ideas, your priorities, and the way your family lives belong at the center of the process.

So we decided early what would guide our work: clear numbers, honest conversations, and care in the details. When decisions change, we explain the options and work through them with you.

Our ambition is personal.

To be the builder you would choose again.

Whether you have a sketch on a napkin, a piece of land, or only the feeling that it is time, you are in the right place.

Look around. Then let's talk about what home could look like for you.

We're glad you're here.

Why Story Built Homes

One team, accountable for the whole story of your home.

Whether you're building on land you love, choosing from our planbook, or renovating the home you're in, you work with a single design-build studio that owns the outcome, the design, the craftsmanship, the budget, and the timeline.

01

One Accountable Team

Design and construction live under one roof, so there's no gap between architect and builder. One team answers for your budget, schedule, and quality, from first sketch to final walkthrough.

02

A Faster, Clearer Start

Begin from our 35-plan planbook instead of a blank page, then tailor finishes, layouts, and details to fit your life. Proven designs, a smarter timeline, and a fully custom feel.

03

Built For Your Land

Building on acreage or a lot you love? We design to your site, its views, orientation, and slope, so your home belongs exactly where it stands.

04

A Partner For The Long Run

When it's time to renovate, remodel, add on, or refresh, you already have a builder who knows your standards and keeps you informed, your trusted resource long after move-in.

05

Design That Sweats The Details

A studio that obsesses over how a home actually lives, storage, light, and flow inside, plus outdoor kitchens and living spaces that make every day better.

Not sure where to begin?

Build on your land, choose a plan, or renovate, we'll help you find the right starting point in a single conversation.

How It Works

A clear path, from start to move-in day.

STEP 01

Listen & Discover

We start with how you live, your land, your needs, your story. The questions others skip.

STEP 02

Plan & Design

Choose from the planbook or design from scratch. We explain your options and the trade-offs behind each decision.

STEP 03

Build with Care

Steady communication and craftsmanship you can feel, with no surprises along the way.

STEP 04

Welcome Home

We hand you a home that already feels like yours, and stand behind it long after.

A home should feel like you: thoughtful spaces for everyday routines, room to gather, and details that make coming home feel special.
