ABOUT US

  • BRETT VAN HORN, Builder

    At Village, we want you on the forefront building your home; to provide you an all-inclusive look into your financial investment, elevating your experience and building a home you want to grow old in.

    Raised on the West Coast, educated at Virginia Tech, home was in a constant state of change.

    Craftsmanship was instilled in me at an early age, inspired by the handwork of my Grandparents building their 1946 home with simply hand tools. My Grandmother shared stories about Grandpop coming home with bent nails that she would give new life. She would lay out the reclaimed floorboards while he was at work and upon returning, he would use those straightened nails to fasten the flooring into the joists.

    This old-school adage “Work Smarter Not Harder” became hardwired into my everyday life. Under my Grandfather’s guidance I was able to unlock the same genetic traits and discover I was born to build homes.

    This became my life’s mission.

    With greater experience, I recognize the lasting impact speed has on the longevity of the home; robbing the full return on investment. Northern Virginia has become inundated with speedy businessmen-builders trending the reputation of true builders away from prestige.

    We don’t believe in rushing to cut corners. Our goal is to do right by our clients investments and to build homes families will love for generations.

    A place where good enough isn’t good enough. We’re putting art back into construction and would love the opportunity to build with you.
