Since 2011, Room With a View (RWAV) has operated on a simple belief: great homes are “stories not yet written, built with heart, rooted in place, and crafted to last.” Owner Jason Wells grew from a structural-framing apprentice into a design-build leader who prizes human connection as highly as he does joinery. The result is a company that treats every project—whether a waterfront estate or an urban loft—as a narrative of the people who will live there.

From the first survey stake to the final punch-list, RWAV delivers “full-service design-build for new construction” and additions that feel “intentional, functional, and beautifully integrated.” Precise budgeting, neighborhood-friendly site management, and collaborating architects keep your future home—or expanded footprint—on schedule and on story.
