How we work
From custom homes and major renovations to additions and other substantial residential projects, we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right. Our experienced crews work closely with homeowners throughout the project, with a focus on quality work, straightforward communication, and a finished product we can all be proud of.
pride in the work
We take pride in doing the job right, whether we are building a new home, completing a major renovation, or improving an existing property.
our own crew
Our experienced field crews are Racer Construction employees who work directly on our projects. Having our own people in the field gives us greater control over workmanship, communication, and the day-to-day progress of the job.
relationships that last
We value straightforward communication and long-term relationships with our clients. Many of our projects come from repeat customers, referrals, and relationships that continue long after construction is complete.
Rappahannock County, VA Building Services
Custom Homes: Custom homes built around the property, the client's needs, and the way they want to live. Racer work with homeowners and their design team from planning through construction and completion.
Home Renovations & Expansions: From major additions and whole-home renovations to kitchens, baths, and other improvements, Racer works carefully with existing homes to create spaces that feel like they belong.
Additional Residential Projects: Consider using this third category for the other substantial work Racer regularly performs, such as pool houses, garages, porches, outdoor living spaces and accessory buildings.

good friends to this day
Jim and Camille Racer of Racer Construction built a custom home for me several years ago. From the planning to the execution phases, I could not have been more satisfied. Although Jim"s services are forever in high demand, he always made me feel as though I were his only customer. In his dealings with me, he was completely honest and I was kept fully informed about all aspects of the job. He is a genuinely kind and humble human being. Camille has such a keen eye and was so helpful to me with choices concerning the interior design. Although it's not large EVERYONE who sees my home for the first time remarks on its construction and appeal. Many people end up at odds with their builders by the end of their projects. Just the opposite has happened to me. I consider Jim and Camille good friends to this day and am so very grateful that our paths have crossed.

final product continues to delight us
Our experience with Racer Construction, both during the remodel of our bedrooms, baths, and kitchen as well as the construction of our pool and pool house, was terrific. The process was collaborative from start to finish, and the final product continues to delight us. Jim, Camille, and each member of the team was incredibly proactive, thoughtful, and responsive. Jim consistently came up with creative but practical solutions to design and construction challenges, and Camille's good eye made choosing finishes a breeze. We were "in residence" throughout both projects, and the Racer crew could not have been more accommodating and pleasant to be around. We are big fans.
