Meet the Approved Builders

Custom Building the Traditional Way

In the age-old tradition of the Master Carpenter, the Afton Village Approved Builders have a passion for building quality handcrafted homes. As with the Masters, the Village Builders base their construction methods on time-honored techniques. Using historic architectural references, each of the Village Builders design and build their homes with the skill, care and personal commitment that only comes from being an experienced custom builder.

Almost a century of building experience is going into building the homes in Afton Village. We’ve assembled four of the best custom home builders, each having a reputation for building at the highest level of quality.
