We provide custom home building services and consultation to our customers in the Upper Arkansas River Valley area of Colorado.

August DeLarue was born in Hood River, OR and raised in Corrales, NM. He attended the US Coast Guard Academy where he met his wife, Ashley. After graduating from the CGA, August served 6 years Active Duty in the US Coast Guard as an officer, where he learned the most valuable skills that a homebuilder can have; organization, leadership, attention to detail, professionalism, and respect. After moving to Salida with his wife, August was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn and apprentice for Rich Edgington, a master homebuilder with over 25 years of experience. As an apprentice to Rich, August was able to manage and build over 65 homes for his customers, all the while honing his skills related to Building Science, Energy Efficiency, Organization, and Communication.

August DeLarue is an exceptional builder! His professionalism, attention to detail, and great listening skills made this project enjoyable and rewarding. His creative solutions for our small city lot set a new paradigm for a home in downtown Salida. There are many fine builders in Salida, but August is in a class by himself! Highly recommended!
