The Woodhouse Difference

Our unique approach to helping you realize your dream begins with the simple principle of listening. Since 1979, our team has actively listened to thousands of ideas, thoughts and inspirations, and turned them into beautiful homes that truly are as unique as their owner’s dreams. We have been proud partners in bringing more than 1,000 dreams to life.  Our years of experience and constant desire to lead our industry in all facets of our business bring the “Woodhouse Difference” to each home we build. For us, being good just isn’t good enough. 

Many will say our difference is in our industry-leading 3D modeling technology, which creates beautiful renderings and unique point-of-view fly-through models of homes before they are even built.  Others may point to the fact that we support our clients with the industry’s only transferable lifetime warranty.  Some may say that it is our ability to produce precision crafted timbers from a variety of species of wood that sets Woodhouse apart from other timber frame manufacturers. 

We believe that all of the above is true, but what really drives the “Woodhouse Difference” is you, the people who turn dreams into dream homes.  It takes a team to build these dreams, from our designers, regional project managers and office staff with nearly 300 combined years of experience.  The most important member of our team is you.  Join the hundreds of satisfied Woodhouse homeowners who let us listen to their dreams, and allow us to earn your trust.  Please stop by and experience the “Woodhouse Difference” for yourself.
