We pride ourselves on our teamwork, integrity and professionalism – and are perpetually dedicated to producing the finest homes. Realizing the vision of your home should be a fulfilling journey; RT Abbott Construction will work alongside you to ensure that happens. With uncompromising, professional craftsmanship, and the unique attention to detail that defines a custom home, we always work tirelessly to achieve the perfection you envision.

RT Abbott Construction was founded by Roy Abbott in 1998. We are very proud of our unique reputation for the highest quality homes. Our success derives from our team approach which ensures a close, continual contact between the owner, architects and project consultants – and employing only the highest-skilled craftsmen, artisans and technicians.

The most important lesson we’ve learned in building custom homes is managing our client’s goals and expectations by always speaking honestly and openly when discussing all aspects of the project. A project’s two most important factors are always schedule and budget, and carefully managing these two sensitive issues professionally, and with integrity, is what we strongly believe sets us apart from other builders.

If a visit to one of our completed homes will help you better understand the scope and quality of our company, we will gladly arrange for an appointment. We have provided a link to our website as well as contact information for our key staff members. We will happily make ourselves available to answer any of your questions or tell you more about how we can make your dream home a reality.

Roy Abbott
President / CEO

Roy Abbott has always set ever-higher goals, and he gives credit to his years spent in the Army’s 82nd airborne regiment that gave him the tools to achieve them. He says “The Army’s organizational skills are second to none. It taught me to always strive for the highest standards, that success is a product of constant communication and planning and to always stay on schedule. These concepts became the foundation of my company’s organization.” From his early days in construction as a trench digger and framer, he quickly moved up the ranks in custom home design/building to Senior Project Manager. But he knew the only way he would apply his on-site education and to remain on target for his goal of perfection in home building was to start his own company. Since 1998 he has personally ensured that each home built by RT Abbott Construction is built to the highest standard. As Roy says “I find out my client’s expectations and make sure I exceed them while always keeping the project on budget and on time.”
