What homeowners say about working with us
Choosing a home builder is a big decision, so we let our homeowners do the talking. From first-time builds to repeat clients, the feedback we value most is about the experience: clear communication, realistic expectations, and a finished home that feels thoughtfully built. We're proud to serve families across Tennessee's Upper Cumberland, Cookeville, Sparta, Crossville, Livingston, McMinnville, and nearby communities, and we work hard to earn trust at every stage of the project.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Crosland construction and the work they did on our home addition. We added on almost 1000 square feet to our existing home. Complete with a new master suite, flex room and laundry room. We also added two new entrances and a patio. The transition between our existing home and the new addition is seamless. Cole was easy to work with and set a clear timeline from start to finish. We also stayed right on budget even when making a few adjustments. My family and I are so thankful for this additional living space and look forward to enjoying it for many years to come. If you are in need of a home addition or new build don’t hesitate to reach out to Cole and his team!!!

How our process works
Our proven approach to ensure quality results, on time and within budget. We start with a consultation to understand your vision, budget, and timeline. Then we develop detailed plans and designs that bring your ideas to life. We execute the project with precision and attention to detail. We ensure every detail meets your expectations before project completion.
Consult
We start with your goals, site details, and constraints. You’ll get straight answers on feasibility, likely cost drivers, and what information we need to move forward confidently.
In Cookeville: For Cookeville homesites, we’ll discuss access, utilities, and any early site evaluation items that can affect scope.
Plan/Design
We align the plan with your priorities and the realities of the lot. This is where we reduce change orders by clarifying scope, selections, and constraints before the jobsite gets busy.
In Cookeville: We’ll also consider how your property relates to Algood, Baxter, Monterey, and Silver Point and local scheduling realities.
Estimate
You’ll receive a clear estimate tied to scope. We talk through allowances and finish levels so you understand what’s included and where upgrades change the number.
In Cookeville: For Cookeville, we tie the estimate to site realities (access, utilities, and drainage) before selections start compounding.
Build
We coordinate trades, maintain a clean jobsite, and communicate consistently. Quality checks happen throughout, not just at the end, so issues get solved early.
Walkthrough
We complete a detailed walkthrough, handle the punch list, and close out with documentation. Our goal is a smooth handoff and a finished result you’re proud of.
Frequently Asked Questions
Plan for the site realities first, not just finishes. In Cookeville, access, utilities, grading, and drainage can vary by neighborhood and by distance outside city limits. We review those items early so your plan, estimate, and timeline reflect real conditions.
