OUR STORY

Partners in Business. Partners in Life.

When you love what you do and the person you get to do it with, is it really work?

For us, Bordeaux Luxury Homes is more than a business. It's an opportunity to share what we love, be creative together, and turn a vision into something beautiful. We may see things from different perspectives, but that's part of what makes our partnership work. We challenge each other, inspire each other, and bring our individual strengths to something we both believe in.

Being partners in business and in life means sharing the excitement of a new idea, working through the challenges, and celebrating what we've accomplished together.

And perhaps the best part is the people we meet along the way. What begins as a conversation about someone's home often becomes a friendship that lasts long after the project is complete.

THE BORDEAUX PHILOSOPHY

One Team. One Vision.One Outcome.

Most design-build firms separate the people who design your home from the people who build it. We don't. Rick and Carissa are involved in every project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

That means no miscommunication between a designer and a contractor. No surprises when the plans meet the jobsite. No finger-pointing when something needs to be resolved.

Just two people who care deeply about the outcome — and a team that reflects that same standard.

BEYOND THE BUSINESS

The Values We Live. The Relationships We Build.

Family, discipline, perseverance, and loyalty aren't simply principles we bring to our business. They're part of how we live.

From raising our family to training together in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we believe meaningful accomplishments are built through dedication, trust, and a willingness to keep growing.

We bring that same commitment to Bordeaux Luxury Homes. Our clients invite us into one of the most personal parts of their lives — their homes. We never take that trust lightly.

Many of the relationships that begin with a remodeling or building project grow into lasting friendships. To us, that's one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
