Meet Rader Building Company, a design-build team in the fine art of construction. Brandon and Jennifer Rader have the expertise, passion and experience to create beautifully constructed homes with breathtaking architecture. They use the finest components to bring their homes to life, offering the lost art of craftsmanship in every home built.

Do you have a building style? If so, how would you briefly describe it?
We love mixing old with new. Many people say they love the character and charm of older homes but love the functionality and efficiency of new ones. Rader Building Company merges those concepts together to create a true masterpiece. Jennifer has a background in Design and Art History. Our Street of Dreams home has classic Colonial bones with a fresh modern twist.

We can't wait to see your Street of Dreams custom home! If you could give us one little sneak peek, what would it be?
There are too many to choose just one, we’ll let you decide! You can grab a bottle of wine from the full-size, temperature-controlled wine room, head up the sweeping staircase to your very own driving range, catch a movie in the fully-automated theatre, grab a slice of pizza from the Florentine pizza oven, relax on one of the many covered outdoor living spaces or splash around in the palatial swimming pool!

What's your favorite thing about being a home builder?
Building a family’s dream home! We take our jobs seriously, because we understand that this isn’t just a house ... it’s a home and the backdrop of your family’s lives and memories. This is where our clients will be celebrating all of life’s joys, from their baby’s first steps on our floors to prom pictures on a beautifully designed staircase. It is a gratifying career helping clients plan for the future so their dream home adapts as life changes.

If you can pick one, what is your favorite design trend right now?
LIGHT AND BRIGHT! Homes are much more airy than they were a few years ago. Jennifer loves that heavy draperies have taken a back seat to roman shades, and fabrics such as velvet and brocades are readily available in softer palettes.

What is your best advice to readers when it comes to custom home building/design?
HAVE FUN! Discuss your contract in detail with your builder before signing. The more you know, the more you will enjoy the process. Building a home can be one of the largest financial and time investments you will ever make. And last but not least, make sure you choose a Certified Professional Home Builder.

What's it like to be a part of Street of Dreams? And what are you most excited for with Street of Dreams?
It is a true honor and privilege to be a part of Street of Dreams. We are by far the youngest of the builder groups and are excited to step up to the challenge. FUN FACT: We would tour open houses and were frequent visitors of the Parade of Homes as high school sweethearts. Being selected as a Street of Dreams builder feels like a dream come true! We're looking forward to a great event while showcasing a home designed back in our high school days!
