Charlottesville, nestled at the foot of the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is the home of Mr. Jefferson’s architectural masterpiece, Monticello, and the equally significant University of Virginia. Consistently ranked at the top of the list of “best places to live and work” in the United States, Charlottesville is the special place that I came to love during my years at UVA where I graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce.
This calm and cultural city called to me and my wife, Lisa, for years as we pursued our careers in Virginia Beach. We visited Charlottesville often and I couldn’t help but observe that as we passed Williamsburg on the way to Charlottesville that I would feel as though I was headed “home.” On the return trip, I would find myself looking over my shoulder for one last glimpse of the Blue Ridge.
In 1994, Lisa and I, along with our 2-year old daughter, made the leap from the Beach to the Blue Ridge. My work at the Beach, both as a real estate broker and as a builder, had been productive but the constant call of the Mountains and the University was too powerful to wait for retirement down the road—we came “home.”
My love of building and architecture became High Caliber Construction in the year 2000. Custom homes, major additions and renovations are our areas of emphasis. We have worked with several local architects and designers and are always delighted to work with our clients’ architect or from stock plans. We do have a close relationship with local architect Sherri Tracinski; Sherri is both an architect and a architectural historian (degree from UVA), giving us a strong team capability when it comes to renovations of historical homes as well as authenticity in the building of style-correct new homes.
If you explore our Website, you will discover that each of our featured projects has a commentary from the clients along with a notation as to whether or not the clients are “available for reference” and/or the home is “available for viewing.” Happily, all currently featured projects are a “yes” for both categories; this gives future prospective clients the chance to review a wide range of projects as well as to chat with our past clients about their experience with High Caliber Construction.
If this special place, Charlottesville, is in your sights, be sure to contact me for a no-obligation no-cost introductory meeting.
