A genuinely custom house

A production builder starts from a catalog. Pearl starts from your lot, your budget, and how your family actually lives, then designs and builds around it. President Larry Richardson, Jr. leads that work under our Richardson Homes brand, the same Class A licensed team that has built across Culpeper and Fauquier Counties since 1984.

  • Individually designed

    Plans developed around your lot and your list, whether you arrive with an architect's drawings or need help creating them.

  • Premium materials, real craftsmen

    Trade professionals and quality materials selected for a house you are meant to keep, not flip.

  • Weekly schedule updates

    A formal schedule with material samples and technical data, updated every week until the walkthrough.

  • Masonry built in-house

    Stone entries, brick veneer, and fireplace features handled by our own masonry division, not a subcontractor lottery.

How It Works

Your custom build, step by step

The same process whether the plans carry the Pearl Construction name or the Richardson Homes name, because the same license and crews stand behind both.

  1. 1

    Design & site consultation

    We walk your lot, talk through the design and budget, and put a clear written estimate in your hands before anything is signed.

  2. 2

    Materials, samples & schedule

    You review a formal construction schedule, material samples, and technical data so every finish decision is made with confidence.

  3. 3

    Build & final walkthrough

    OSHA-trained foremen and licensed equipment operators carry the build to completion, with a schedule update every week through your walkthrough.

Common Questions

Custom home questions

How is a Pearl custom home different from a production home?

Every Pearl custom home is individually designed around your lot and how you want to live, not pulled from a limited catalog of repeated floor plans. That is the same standard our Richardson Homes brand builds to, and it applies whether you come to us with an architect's plans or need help developing them.

What is Richardson Homes and how does it relate to Pearl?

Richardson Homes is our custom-home brand, led by Pearl Construction's own president, Larry Richardson, Jr. It is not a separate contractor. Custom homes built under the Richardson Homes name are built by the same licensed Pearl Construction team, under the same Class A license and the same crews.

Do I get to pick materials and see a real schedule?

Yes. Every custom build starts with a formal written estimate, then a construction schedule with material samples and technical data so you can choose finishes with confidence. You get a schedule update every week from groundbreaking to your final walkthrough.

Can Pearl build on my own lot in Culpeper or Fauquier County?

Yes. We handle site work, excavation, and foundations on your own land in Culpeper County, Fauquier County, and the surrounding areas, then carry the build through framing, our in-house masonry work for stone or brick features, and finish carpentry to a final walkthrough.
