Rachel Schaefer
OWNER & GENERAL CONTRACTOR
After 15+ years of planning and executing high-end corporate events, Rachel pivoted into construction with one goal: run a smarter, more thoughtful building experience. As a homeowner first, she knows how overwhelming the process can be and she brings equal parts precision, empathy, and high standards to every project.
“I love being a woman in this industry—not because it sets me apart, but because it reflects how I work: with clarity, respect, and follow-through. My clients and trade partners know I lead with collaboration and kindness—but I don’t back down when it’s time to advocate for what’s right.”

Why Arleigh Homes?
01. Structure You Can Count On
From the first call to the final walk-through, we bring clarity, organization, and direction to every stage of your project. With solid timelines, realistic budgets, and a steady hand on the details, we keep things moving—so you’re never left wondering what’s next.
02. Communication that Actually Happens
No chasing down answers. No guessing who’s doing what. We believe in proactive, transparent communication—weekly updates, regular check-ins, and honest conversations—because when everyone’s on the same page, the whole process runs smoother.
03. A Builder Who Has Your Back
We don’t just build houses—we build relationships. You’ll get a true partner who listens, advocates, and cares about the outcome just as much as you do. This is a big investment, and you deserve someone who takes it as seriously as you do (with a little more color-coding).
