The Difference Is in Every Detail

Black Walnut Construction builds custom homes with a level of care that comes from being fully invested in every detail—seen and unseen. Our team walks with each homeowner through every step of the process, bringing a willingness to get it right and a hands-on, relationship-driven approach that makes a complex project feel simple and enjoyable.

We refuse to cut corners or rely on outdated methods. Instead, we champion advanced building science and thoughtfully chosen, durable products. From selecting materials that minimize off-gassing to utilizing moisture-resistant assembly techniques, every decision is guided by a commitment to creating a home that is not only code-compliant but uniquely healthy, efficient, and built to last.

We ensure complete financial clarity so that homeowners know exactly where their money is going and can trust that every decision is made with their long-term peace of mind as our top priority. The result is a home built with integrity and deep personal commitment. At Black Walnut, the client experience matters just as much as the finished home.

Our Approach is Construction Simplified: We set ourselves apart as a custom home builder by prioritizing the factors that provide our clients with true peace of mind.

Radical Transparency in Pricing: We provide a detailed breakdown of your estimate, selections, and finishes so you understand not only what your money is buying but where it is being spent.

Building Science & A Healthier Home: We go beyond standard "quality" by focusing on the physics of how your home performs. We utilize mold-resistant materials, superior insulation strategies, and low-VOC products to ensure your home is environmentally sound, energy-efficient, and a safe environment for your family.

Relationship-Based Partnership: Building a custom home is highly personal. We establish a level of trust and confidence before, during, and after the build. We bring our clients into the process, making them part of the team, so they feel valued and confident in their investment.

Proven Craftsmanship and Partners: We partner only with subcontractors and trades who are vetted, proven, and understand the rigorous standards of craftsmanship and building science we expect right out of the gate.
