About Us
We are family owned and operated, with precision and detail in mind
At Custom Built Construction (CBC), we believe that purchasing a home is one of the most important investments you can make — and that means it deserves to be treated that way. Founded in 2020 by Jay, his son Noah, and his wife Brooke, Custom Built Construction was built on the idea that dedication to craftsmanship is the foundation of a strong company.
We specialize in residential and commercial work and can tackle pretty much any project you can imagine. From big projects like remodels, custom closets and cabinetry, and faux beams, all the way to the more intricate details like accent walls, board and batten, shiplap, and other fine carpentry work. With the years of experience we have under our belts, we could build you a house from the ground up and see it all the way through to the finishing touches.
When you work with us, you're not just hiring a construction company — you're hiring a team that genuinely cares about making your vision come true.
Our Team
Jay Kauffman - Owner
Jay has been in the construction industry for over 35 years, and in August 2020, he took that experience and put it into building something of his own with Custom Built Construction. Jay created Custom Built Construction so he could work the way he truly believes construction should be done. He works for perfection rather than just checking boxes, and he values the time and dedication his company can give each client over any other company in the valley. Rather than meeting quotas, Jay wants to make your vision come true, and building his own company is what allows him to do exactly that.
Today, Jay is mainly involved with the custom carpentry and finish work side of construction, which is where his passion for the details really shows. This includes interior and exterior doors, base and case trim, cabinetry, and custom finish work that ties a space together. That said, his background goes far beyond carpentry. Over his 35 years in the industry, Jay has worked across just about every phase of construction, including dirt work and grading, excavating, foundations, helical piers, steel buildings, framing, insulation, roofing, and siding. He and his team are fully capable of taking a home or commercial building from the ground up, so whatever your project calls for, chances are Jay has the experience to get it done.
Noah Kauffman - Partner
Noah got his start at Custom Built Construction in 2020, right after high school graduation, when he started working part-time to pay for college. He worked alongside Jay learning all the many skills he uses on a day-to-day basis. What started as a temporary job, turned into something that Noah started to love. Working on multi-million dollar houses in Reno, Nevada, he found himself drawn to the problem-solving and detail-oriented aspect of the work he was doing. He decided to then go full time with CBC and became a partner of the company, taking on many of the responsibilities that came with it.
As a partner at Custom Built Construction, Noah plays a big role in helping things run smoothly. He oversees many of the day-to-day operations, directs employees, works closely with customers to learn about their vision, and then uses his own two hands to put that into action. This combination of big-picture thinking and willingness to get his hands dirty, is a big part of what makes Custom Built Construction the best choice for your construction needs.
