Jessica Ford & family — building homes with heart

Hello Home

A note from Jessica Ford

From·The Desk of Jessica Ford

To·Future Home Buyer

FD Builds was founded to offer a more personal experience to home buyers. There are many builders out there producing homes that benefit their wallet, but lack heart. We wanted something better for you.

We don't settle for builder grade finishes, and we don't look for the cheapest way to build your home — we look for the best way. We use quality materials, efficient systems, and only the most trusted professionals to bring your dream home to life.

As a relationship-centered business, we value strong relationships with our team, our clients, and with the partners we bring on to build your home. We have long-standing relationships with electricians, painters, plumbers, suppliers, and inspectors in our community, and our standard of excellence ensures that your home is built with the utmost integrity.

At the end of the day, our mission is to build beautiful, quality houses that turn into life-long memories.

With Heart,
Jessica Ford
