Established in 2006 , Brush Arbor Homes is a high-end custom homebuilder in the Virginia and Washington DC area . Priding itself on the concept that every home has a unique story , the business works closely with customers to create one-of-a-kind homes tailored to their lifestyle and preferences .

As one of the most reputable homebuilders in the regions in which it operates , Brush Arbor strives to simplify the design and build process for clients . With the design and construction teams both in-house , collaboration runs through the heart of the process , enabling clients to effectively communicate their needs or desired features .
To learn more about Brush Arbor ’ s evolution , we ’ re joined by Owner , Jonathan Smith , who is keen to tell us about the homebuilding process and how the business uses a portion of its profits to help those in need .
“ After several years working for a national homebuilder , as well as building homes in developing countries across the globe , I decided to start my own company in 2006 ,” he begins . “ We started in the old-fashioned way , by knocking on doors , calling contacts , and saying lots of prayers as we began to complete smaller projects .
“ Today , our custom homes tend to cost in the range of $ 1.5 million-to- $ 7 million , while our move-in ready spec homes tend to land in the range of $ 3.5 million-to- $ 10 million . Our purpose is to be creative and responsive to both market trends and our clients ’ desires . We have expertise in a wide range of styles from modern to traditional and everywhere in between , although the market is currently favoring transitional timeless builds .” modernhb . com 61
