A family that's been building here since 1993.
Most of the people who call us are building for the first time. Nearly all of them want the same two things: a builder they can trust, and a straight answer when they ask a question.
Thirty-three years in the Ozarks.
Tom Caruso began his professional career in 1979 in Boca Raton, Florida, where he earned his state certified general contractor's license. Holding that license takes four years of apprenticeship and a twenty hour exam given by the Florida Department of Professional Regulation, and he maintains it today through continuing education every year, which keeps him current on codes and guidelines.
In 1993 Tom and his family moved to Branson to enjoy the beauty and the values of the Ozarks. In a short while he became known as one of the area's premier custom home builders and developers, leading the way with his quality, his skill, and a reputation for customer satisfaction.
Trevor Caruso returned home to join the family business after graduating from the University of Missouri in 2006. Since then he has worked toward mastering every side of custom home and commercial construction while holding the standard of quality people expect from Masterpiece Builders. He handles the day to day operations of current projects.

In their words.
"Building our home with Tom Caruso has been one of life's highlights. We have built houses before, but never like this. His discriminating eye and meticulous attention to detail result in a home that is beautiful and highly functional. Were we to build again, we would not consider anyone other than Tom and his terrific team."
