The Best Ranch Home Builders in the US
Last Updated on
Originating in California, the earliest ranch style homes were built during the 1930s. They started to explode in popularity after World War II, developed by architect-builders like Joe Eichler and other craftsmen vital to developing huge housing tracts for World War II veterans. These homes are immediately recognizable by their low, single-story profiles that resemble American Craftsman bungalows. As with all 20th-century American architecture, ranch homes are eclectic in nature and individual houses may incorporate elements of its antecedents. This style has come back into fashion recently: its ability to integrate universal design and accessibility into a single floor plan has created a new generation of fans.
This list presents a number of excellent contractors who have a lot of experience with this style. A number of these contractors are award-winning craftsmen associated with various industry organizations, including the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Some have also been featured in magazines like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Inc. and Professional Builder. Other than being recognized firms, these companies are also managed by highly experienced principals who work with talented teams who have the skills and the passion to craft beautiful homes.
If you are thinking about doing a construction project we recommend checking each builder’s license with the local licensing board, speaking to past clients, and using our bidding system to get competitive quotes from at least 3 professionals. Getting multiple bids is the best way to ensure you get a fair price and that bids include the complete scope of work.
