It takes passion to build a really great house. When you visit a Monarch Design-Build home you'll notice the difference our passion makes right away. It is visible in a thousand little details from the beautifully crafted, glowing woodwork and the leaded and stained glass windows to the colorful handmade tiles and generous cabinetry. The truth is, we regularly go to the ends of the earth to get the right light fixture, wood, tile or hardware for our homes. All these incredible details add up to a home like no other: warm, inviting, unique and ready to be your retreat from the world.

Excellence like this begins long before ground is broken, and requires a team committed to sustainable, earth-friendly design and craftsmanship — what we call "smart building." Lead by Paige Lentz, our founder and president, each project's team collaborates from the ground up on the architecture, mechanical, structural and design elements— everything culminating in the stunning details that reflect a woman's touch and artistic flair.

Our homes don't just look good, they're well built down to their bones, in places most homeowners will never see. There and in every inch of your home, you'll feel our commitment to energy efficiency, sustainable design and healthy living. We consider it just part of paying attention to the details. And that's what makes every home we build a masterpiece.
