Local, family-owned experience

Chris’s journey into the world of construction began with the construction of his own home alongside his wife, Kim, and his father, a well-trained craftsman. This pivotal experience ignited a passion for residential real estate investments and propelled Chris and Kim into property management. In 2005, armed with a wealth of experience and an unwavering commitment to quality, Chris took the leap and founded Salvador Custom Homes, strengthening the attention to detail that would later define Salvador Construction’s signature approach.

Happy clients

“I’ve worked with Chris and his team on 3 custom homes now. In my opinion, they are the best show in town for homes above 300k. They are committed to building a top notch home in a reasonable time frame. In my dealings they were efficient through the process and rarely missed a time line. I’ll jump at the chance to work with them again.”

The team’s professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the construction. They were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had, ensuring that we felt involved and informed throughout the entire project.

The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the materials used are top-notch. Our new home is not only beautiful but also built to last. The design perfectly matches our vision, and every room is a testament to the skill and dedication of the Salvador Construction team.

We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend Salvador Construction to anyone looking to build a new home. They turned our dream into reality, and we couldn’t be happier with our beautiful new home.”

“Words cannot describe how happy and proud I am to own a Salvador Home. They know what today’s homeowner wants in a home – beauty, high-end fixtures and finishes, ultra comfort, attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship.

Every step and process along the way in purchasing our home was streamlined and efficient – not as easy task when moving across the country.

The home warranty Salvador Homes includes with each of their custom homes brings peace of mind and is priceless. Just a simple phone call and they are here to help.

Buying our forever home has been the best possible experience and we truly owe that to the Salvador family and team!”
