LeeRen is truly a precision man. Vernal City loves, loves, .loves his blue prints. They told us they had never seen anyone so precise in drawing house plans. No need to red line. He has it down. And he builds that way as well. We love the house he built for us in our senior years: no stairs, wide hall ways, wide door ways, step in shower, as well as many other features. If you want it done right, call LeeRen!

LeeRen helped us with a total gut job reno of our kitchen and mudroom. … He was quick to respond to every ignorant question I had. He would come and show me everything. He made sure we had a final product we are thrilled with at a price point we are also very happy with. He was remarkably on time and his subs were responsive and did a great job. There was one small detail in the stucco that I wasn’t happy with and the sub was back the very next day and fixed it perfectly. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you LeeRen.

Read the full FAQJust Ask Us

  • Is it less expensive to buy a home or build new?

    In our experience, it is less expensive to build a new home than to purchase an existing home. Sometimes a production builder can sell a newly built home for less, but the lack of QUALITY will be evident by promising work QUANTITY to their sub-contractors.

  • I am researching custom home builders, what makes your company different?

    We at Precision Homes & Design value quality and durability. To ensure this, we do things other builders don’t. Some of these are: We compact back-fill of dirt to reduce settling problems; We use more concrete reinforcing steel than the standard; We use brass plumbing fittings instead of plastic; We use screws instead of nails to fasten floor decking to joists to better eliminate possible floor squeaks.

  • Will a custom-designed, custom-built home be built with a higher standard of quality than those built by production builders?

    With Precision Homes & Design the answer is … Absolutely! We take pride in what we build and want our work to last for many decades with as few issues as possible.

  • How long does it take to build a home?

    A custom home typically takes about 6-8 months to build. Supply chain issues lately have been a headache for everyone, which the home-building industry has felt as well.

  • What are the downsides to a custom Home?

    Many decisions have to be made, but you get your vision of a home.
