Throughout my career as a design/build contractor, I have not been willing to accept and work within the standards of our industry, but to exceed those standards. While builders generally tend to excel at one or two of the necessary disciplines, Glennwood is comprised of highly talented individuals, each of whom excel in different and critical areas. Truly unique to our region, Glennwood offers a team approach in which we strive to make the custom home-building experience exciting and predictable."
