The whole job
Custom homes in the Yakima Valley, from the first scoop of dirt
One crew for the dig, the footings, the frame, the roof and the siding, with the same two people answering your calls from start to finish.
Chapter 01
When a custom home stalls between trades
Most custom builds do not fail on the drawing. They stall at the handoffs: the dig crew has moved on, the framer is booked out, and the permit clock keeps running. One homeowner wrote that they had "hired two previous contractors that fell through with empty promises" before a coworker mentioned Alex.
They called because their "permit was already valid and time was ticking." That is the Yakima Valley reality for a lot of owners: the lot is bought, the permit is in hand, and what is missing is a crew that shows up and keeps going.
LF Construction takes the job from the first scoop of dirt. The same crew that cuts the pad on a hillside lot above the valley is the crew that sets the footing forms and stands the walls.

One crew from the dirt to the roof
Custom homes here mean excavating, footings and foundations, framing, roofing and siding done by people who talk to each other. The same homeowner wrote, "From the dirt to roof top, Alex took care of all of it," and said the pricing "came in around budget."
Alex is the voice on the phone through the whole build, and customers name both Alex and Jose in their reviews. Another owner building their first home wrote that he "has taken Care really good" and made it easy because they knew nothing about houses.
Chapter 03
Changes worth making before the walls stand
The best money on a custom home is spent early. That same customer wrote that Alex "recommended changes like going with 17ft ceilings instead of capping them to the 10ft ones that were originally planned." That call has to be made at framing, not after drywall.
The same goes for window heights, porch post sizes and where stacked-stone wainscot lands against the siding. We talk those through while the house is still a set of footing forms and a stack of lumber.
When the house is dried in and sided, we walk it with you and check the caulk and paint lines before we call it done.
