Custom Home Construction
Built around how you actually live, not around a floor plan from a catalogue. We work with your architect or ours, and we're on-site every single day.
Third-generation builders doing honest, lasting construction work across [Region]. No chain of subs passing the buck. Same crew, start to finish — and we still answer our own phones.
We don't chase every job in the book. We build what we know how to build right — and we've been doing it the same way for thirty years.
Built around how you actually live, not around a floor plan from a catalogue. We work with your architect or ours, and we're on-site every single day.
Retail, office, warehouse, mixed-use. On-time delivery matters in commercial work, and we've never handed a client a key late because of something we controlled.
New square footage that feels like it was always part of the house. We match materials, mind the structure, and don't leave you with a room that feels tacked on.
The bones of the build. We frame tight, plumb, and true — because every problem hidden behind drywall traces back to what the framer did or didn't do.
Poured, block, slab — we do it all in-house. A bad foundation is a forever problem. We take our time, do it once, and stand behind it.
Excavation, grading, drainage. We prepare the land the same way we build on it — thoroughly, with nobody cutting corners before the first footing goes in.
Ironwood Construction started in 1994 when Jack Mercer loaded his tools into a beat-up Ford F-250 and decided the industry was doing it wrong — too many middlemen, too many handoffs, too little ownership over the finished product.
Three decades on, Jack's kids are on the tools. His grandkids are already asking questions on the job site. We haven't gone corporate. We haven't farmed out the hard work to whoever calls back first. You hire Ironwood, you get the Mercer crew — from the first walkthrough to the final handshake.
When something goes wrong — and in construction, something always does — you'll hear from us before you hear about it. That's not a policy. It's just how we were raised.
Talk to Us DirectlyMost builders will tell you what you want to hear. We'll tell you what you need to hear — before it costs you anything to find out the hard way.
Every project here was built by our crew, start to finish. No proxy photos, no borrowed portfolios.
These are just four. We've got 500 more where these came from.
Request Our Full PortfolioThis is exactly what happens between you calling us and you getting the keys.
We walk the site together, discuss what's realistic, and give you a quote you can actually trust. No lowball bids, no scope games.
No surprises. We map out every phase before the first nail goes in. You get a schedule you can hold us to.
We don't subcontract the hard stuff to whoever is available. Our team builds it. You'll recognize every face on your site.
Punch list, final inspection, warranty walk — we stay until it's done right. You shouldn't have to chase your builder to finish what they started.
We don't ask for reviews until the job is done right. These are the ones we earned.
Other contractors gave me a number. Ironwood gave me answers. Every question I had, they had a real one back. Moved in on the date they said. Not a week later, not two weeks later — that date.
Three bids. Two flaked by week three. One showed up every morning with a plan. You can guess which one we hired. And then hired again for the second building.
They told us the timeline and stuck to it. When one supplier ran late, they called us before we had to ask. We'd never had a contractor do that. Never.
Corporate construction companies have project managers who have never swung a hammer. You deserve builders who know what they're building.
Seriously. Call us and a person picks up. No call center, no voicemail maze, no "someone will be in touch."
You'll recognize every face on your job site. No rotating strangers, no explaining the plan from scratch each week.
Not a single number. A breakdown of every cost, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
If something isn't right after we're done, we come back. Not after three calls. We come back.
No obligation. No hard sell. Just a real conversation about what you need and whether we're the right fit.
