Every home should be a masterpiece.

We've built custom homes and landmark projects around Branson for 33 years. Bring us land, plans, or just an idea, and we'll take it from there.

What we build

Custom homes, from the first conversation to the keys.

Most of our clients have never built a house. That's fine. We start wherever you are.

Need land? Our real estate company can help you find it. Need plans? We work with architects we trust, or with yours. Once you approve the project plan, we build it.

We also build commercial projects, from restaurants to places Branson visitors know by name.

Why people build with us

The same family, the same crews, for thirty-three years.

You talk to a Caruso

Tom or Trevor, from the first call to the last walkthrough. Not a salesperson, and not a call center.

Trusted with Branson's landmarks

Camp Long Creek, the Stone House at Ozarks National, the Garden Chapel. Places people around here already know.

One group text for your build

You and us in one thread, the whole way through. We're easy to reach.

Crews we've trusted for decades

Some of our carpenters and subcontractors have worked with us for 25 years. They know the standard.

How it works

Three steps from idea to move-in.

  1. 1

    Call us with what you have

    Land, plans, or neither. Every build starts with a conversation.

  2. 2

    We plan it with you

    Land if you need it, plans with our architects or yours, and a real budget before any work starts.

  3. 3

    We build it, with you in the loop

    You'll hear from us the whole way, from the foundation to move-in day.

What clients say

"Building our home with Tom Caruso has been one of life's highlights. We have built houses before, but never like this. … Were we to build again, we would not consider anyone other than Tom and his terrific team."

Tom Caruso earned his general contractor's license in Florida in 1979 and moved his family to Branson in 1993. His son Trevor joined in 2006 and runs projects day to day. When you call, you're talking to one of them.
