My Story
Aaron Vaughn, Builder
The love of building homes came early for me. My grandfather, Earl, was an original homestead builder and lifelong family farmer. With land that came from their family’s government land grants, a young Earl and his brothers (Hab and Lee) helped build their small town before settling into the farming life. This was before plywood was readily available—before drywall existed. Everything was built by hand—hand saws, hand-hammered. They even milled and dried much of their own lumber!
Grandma Edith was an all-grades teacher in a one-room schoolhouse—think Little House on the Prairie—and education was very important to her. All four of their kids became college graduates, thanks in part to Grandma’s relentless tenacity. I doubt either one would’ve called it sacrifice, though. Grandma and Grandpa were young during the Great Depression. Being able to raise a family was a blessing they didn’t take for granted.
Grandpa Earl died while I was in college. He never saw the man I became—the adult he helped mold. I took a lot of winding roads through many different career paths before I built my first home in 1994. I lost money on that house but gained a lot of wisdom—and I had a blast! The seed was planted. Eventually, I found business partners and started three different homebuilding companies along the way.
We don’t have a traditional model home. We don’t have a huge staff or fancy videos or commercials. We do work with very talented designers and craftsmen. Our vendors, mechanical trades, and subcontractors are carefully vetted, too.
It’s construction. Things happen. But we plan carefully to minimize problems before they happen and own up to them when they do. More importantly, we take care of them. No home is perfect, nor could it ever be. But we’ll never stop trying to get there.
That’s my story. What’s yours? If you’re curious about having my team build your Canyon Lake area custom home, let’s chat. We’d be honored to be a part of your story.
Build your legacy with a custom home crafted by generations of experience, care, and craftsmanship.
