About Us
A Story Must be Built
Starting small and purposely remaining that way, is just one of the attractive qualities they are known for. James and Julie have been a team from the beginning, starting their married lives together over 30 years ago. They have raised three children while building their business from scratch. Together they bring a culmination of talents for a truly unique building experience. Based locally within the Akron and Cleveland suburbs James Yeager Homebuilders creates about three custom homes per year. This allows Jim and Julie to be hands-on, while personally keeping your costs under control.
As opposed to a ”bigger is always better” philosophy, and stamping out mass quantity, “cookie cutter” homes, James Yeager Homebuilders Inc aims at building a few homes a year. This model avoids the cost of employees, supervisors, sales people and the overhead burdening most home building companies. The founder’s goal is to personally oversee each phase of work and concentrate on the most important aspect of the home building experience: the relationship with the customer.
Aside from the obvious accomplishment of constructing a building that will likely outlive us, we love the intangible benefits of working with people from all walks of life. Each time we build a new home we are improved and better rounded by seeing inside someone else’s world, at least for a while.
The Yeager’s goal is to personally oversee each phase of work and concentrate on the most important aspect of the homebuilding experience: the relationship with the customer. Jim and Julie are still in love with their work and making new friends on every job, is a dream come true for the Yeager's.
Our mission is to share our passion about what we do, while listening to each of our customer’s wants and needs and to build their dream home within their budget. That’s why we want to remain small and involved in our work, to give our homeowners a personalized, hands-on building experience and a home they will love to live in.
