Custom Homes & New Builds
Ground-up homes designed around the way you live — framed straight, finished beautifully, and built to outlast the mortgage.
Family-owned general contractors crafting custom homes, thoughtful additions and lasting remodels across Vermilion County and east-central Illinois.
Alexander Construction is a full-service general contractor rooted in small-town Illinois. We are the people you wave to at the hardware store, the crew your neighbors trust, and the name on the deed of homes that have stood for a generation already.
From a first-time custom build to the kitchen you have dreamed about for years, we treat every project as if our own family will live in it. Because, more often than not, we will be passing it on the street for the next twenty years.
Start a conversationOne trusted crew from foundation to finish carpentry. No subcontractor runaround, no surprises — just steady, accountable work.
Ground-up homes designed around the way you live — framed straight, finished beautifully, and built to outlast the mortgage.
Master suites, bonus rooms and whole-home reworks that look as though they were always meant to be there.
The rooms you live in most, rebuilt with careful cabinetry, honest materials and craftsmanship that shows in the details.
Roofs, siding and stonework that keep the Illinois weather out and hold their good looks for decades.
Cedar decks, pergolas and firepit patios that turn the back of the house into the best room you own.
Detached garages, workshops and pole barns engineered for real Midwestern work and built to last.
A house is only as good as the joints you'll never look at. We sand the edges that hide behind the trim, plumb the studs nobody will measure, and choose the lumber that won't twist on you in five winters.
That quiet diligence is the difference between a house that's finished and a home that's right — and it's the thing our clients tell their friends about long after the last walkthrough.
“Anyone can hang a door. We hang it so it still closes sweet in twenty years.”
No mystery, no jargon. You'll always know what's happening next and what it costs.
We sit down, walk the site, and listen. You leave with honest guidance and a free, no-pressure estimate.
Plans, materials and a clear scope. We pin down the details on paper so there are no surprises on site.
One accountable crew, a tidy job site, and steady weekly updates from foundation to final coat.
We walk every room together, fix the last small things, and stand behind the work long after we leave.
A handful of projects from around Vermilion County. Every one started with a single conversation.
We're not the biggest builder in the county — we're the one people call back. Local, licensed, insured, and personally accountable for every nail we drive.
“They built our home like it was their own. Three years in and there isn't a single thing I'd change. The craftsmanship is just on another level.”
“Honest, tidy, and always on time. Our kitchen remodel came in exactly as quoted and the crew treated our house with real respect.”
“We've used Alexander twice now — a deck and then an addition. You can tell they actually care. I won't call anyone else.”
