Always custom, always superior. That's the driving principle behind The Homestead Building Company. The family-owned and operated, Wooster-based custom home builder and complete home renovation contractor seeks to provide superior craftsmanship and a customizable design experience with every project. What's more, owner Mark Raber and his team know how to strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, resulting in a home that meets your family's unique needs.

Whether you are building a custom home for the first time or encountering your maiden renovation project, the Homestead Building team is your guide throughout the entire process. They will take you step-by-step through the decisions and timeline, and will even come out to your site and help with home placement and elevations. Or, if you are more experienced and have encountered these types of projects before, Mark and his team are happy to stand ready to serve you and offer any level of support needed to make your dreams a reality. 

So, what does the process look like when working with Homestead Building? Whether you're doing a remodel or building a home, here's what you can expect: 

Vision and planning: During initial conversations, your vision and budget will be discussed so that the Homestead Building team fully understands your goals and expectations. During this step, they'll also seek to understand your unique tastes and design needs. Finally, Homestead Building will offer guidance and support with site assessment, home placement, soil testing and permitting.

Design and selections: Homestead Building's team leverages their professional experience and skillful know-how to bring your vision into a detailed plan. After final drawings are approved and materials are selected, they will provide you with an accurate estimate and signed contract. 

Construction to completion: Mark and his team pride themselves on providing proactive and purposeful communication throughout all of their projects. They oversee the entire project from start to finish, making sure to bring your dream design to life. Additionally, Homestead Building only uses local subcontractors that share the same integrity and values. 

Homestead Building's professional processes maintain their reputation as good stewards of their clients' time, money and space. Moreover, Homestead Building aims to be good stewards in the Northeast Ohio community by giving back to local organizations.

If you're eager to meet some of the Homestead Building team in-person, visit them at the Amish Country Spring Home & Garden Show at the Mount Hope Event Center in Millersburg. The show will take place from Thursday, Feb. 27 to Saturday, March 1. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children ages 16 and under.
