Custom Homes
Building a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and you should know exactly who's building it. You'll work directly with our family from the first walk of your lot to the day you get the keys. Bring your own plans, start from one of our proven ones, or design something new with our engineer.
What's included
-
Plans: bring yours, start from a proven plan, or design with our engineer
-
Site evaluation and planning, including rural and agricultural lots

Permits and inspections handled for your county

Framing by a crew with 30+ years of experience

Additions & Remodels
A good addition shouldn't look like an addition. We match your rooflines, siding, and trim so the new space feels like it was always there, and we plan the work around the fact that you're still living in the house.

Room additions and second-story additions

Concrete Work
Concrete is the part of a project everyone sees and nobody wants to redo. From foundations and slabs to driveways, patios, and decorative work, it's poured by the same experienced crew we trust on our own homes.

Larger-Scale & Commercial
Before Cardenas Builders, our founder spent three decades running framing crews on apartments, shopping centers, restaurants, and hotels across Middle Tennessee. That background is why we take planning and scheduling seriously on every job, big or small. Commercial licensing is in progress.
