Custom home building doesn’t have to be chaotic.

Building a custom home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make—and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. There are countless decisions, moving parts, and people involved, and when communication breaks down or the process lacks structure, the stress quickly adds up. We get it. We’ve seen how messy it can get, and that’s exactly why Arleigh Homes is built around clarity, consistency, and support. With a clear plan, regular updates, and thoughtful project management, we take the pressure off—because this should feel like building your dream, not surviving a disaster.

Our Process

A custom homebuilding process that’s clear, calm, and built around you.

01. Plan

We start with a consultation, collaborate on your home design, and create a clear timeline and realistic budget—no guesswork, no fluff.

02. Build

From groundbreaking to final finishes, we manage the entire construction process with regular updates, site visits, and hands-on oversight.

03. Support

You'll get a detailed walkthrough, a home care guide, and a one-year check-in—because good builders don’t disappear at closing.

  • "I don’t believe in construction chaos—I believe in schedules, good software, and knowing exactly what’s going on."

    RACHEL SCHAEFER, OWNER

  • "If you're looking for a builder who vanishes for days or leaves you guessing, keep scrolling. If you want someone who keeps it moving and keeps you looped in, I’m your girl."

It all starts with a simple chat

(and maybe some coffee)

We’d love to hear your vision and see if we’re the right fit—for each other. Finding the right match is a two-way street, and a strong partnership leads to the best results.
