James D. Rogers, Owner

James D. RogersJames grew up in his family’s construction business, learning how to build, how to listen and how to keep forty people in the field. He enjoyed the exactness of the craft and the friendship of clients and crew, but left the constant ringing of his parents’ fourteen telephones for a degree from University of Oregon’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts.

James brought his trained eye back to carpentry on his own terms, designing houses and remodeling retail spaces, restaurants and movie theaters across the country. Returning to the work he was raised to do, he rediscovered his intuitive leadership and honed his ability to set a firm schedule and solid budget through rigorous commercial building.

Today, James devotes the sum of his artistic and technical experience to helping Northern Californians create the homes they’ve always wanted. He founded James D. Rogers, Builder to value nuance over volume, and keeps us at an agile size to efficiently deliver sure communication, lower costs and enduring quality for our clients. He continues to refine his uncommon precision with each opportunity to find the form of a long-held dream.
