Design-Build

More than a contractor. One team from vision to completion.

For a major renovation or a custom home, homeowners shouldn’t have to coordinate disconnected designers, estimators and contractors. Design and construction live under one roof at Cass, so nothing gets lost in translation, and one accountable team stays with the project from first concept to final walkthrough.

Everyone I met connected with this company was honest, friendly, hardworking and very careful to get even the smallest details right. They listened to my questions and suggestions and gave excellent advice which in the end saved money. There was no attempt to up sell. My final price was less than the reasonable initial quote and they finished the job a day earlier than the time estimated. What more could you want?

I could very happy with my experience with Cass Construction. Katie, Jon, and the entire team were professional, kind, organized, and incredibly skilled from start to finish.

We recently had Cass build a stacked stone feature wall to accommodate a tv, beam mantle and fireplace as well as replacing the kitchen countertop & backsplash. The scope of our project was clearly laid out and every detail was communicated to us, including recommendations on where to source material choices, from locally owned businesses that they have a great working relationship with. They truly made our vision come to life! Thank you to the entire Team at Cass and congratulations to Jon & Katie for building a successful…
