Question & Answer Session:
Aaron Salvesen, of Salvesen Custom Home Design and Construction. With two decades of experience in residential construction, Aaron takes pride in being a third generation contractor. Before moving to Bend, he built high end homes with his father in the state of Washington. As a business owner and now a father himself, Aaron listens to his clients and personally guides them through the home building process.
Aaron is sensitive to his client’s needs, and invested in providing them with the information to make each decision their own. His goal is to keep the process of building and home-buying as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
Salvesen Homes are energy efficient and functional, without sacrificing the quality craftsmanship they have built their reputation on. Aaron’s meticulous eye for detail helps him create custom homes that stand out from the rest.
