COMMITMENT TO QUALITY

Talented designers and seasoned craftsman oversee the finishing details and warranty of the home with the new homeowners. The appreciation and use of natural materials have always been reflected in the designs long before the trend of organic materials emerged in the marketplace. Handcrafted wood pillars, custom designed spaces, handsome hand laid hardwood floors, and stained glass artifacts used as interior transoms are just a few of the unique elements of these fine homes. 

The Legacy

Loyalty and commitment to construction of integrity are evident and have been accomplished by long time craftsmen affiliated with Beyer – 3 foremen that have 35 to 40 years with the company managing the many details and are now mentoring their 4 adult sons to carry on the legacy
