"thinkGiraffe has worked with Authentic since 2003 on numerous residential and commercial projects. The residential projects ranged from renovations to million dollar custom homes including both lumber and ICF construction. The engineer we share on many of these projects and I agree that we can always trust Authentic to follow the drawings and collaborate with us in a fully transparent way to come up with the most logical and cost effective solutions.
Authentic is capable to manage advanced construction assemblies that involves a thorough understanding of ICF, steel, concrete and all the required supports and fasteners. thinkGiraffe involves Authentic during the design phase of all projects we collaborate on to review budget and ease of assembly and we adjust the design to ensure the most effective solutions possible."

We build all year round. While most builders typically use wood frames, Authentic Homes Inc. uses insulated concrete forms which allow for an uncompromised home building process which is mostly unaffected with our winter climate. The key advantage to you is a durable and energy efficient home.
While this may sound as though we are generalists, this really means that we offer you a centralized way to manage your custom home build or renovation project.
Authentic Homes Inc. does not have a monopoly on skill, so we work together with other professionals and trades to ensure we bring to reality your project objectives. This includes design, planning, financing and of course, post construction service
You can still build your custom home without starting afresh. This is where remodels and renovations come in. We have always believed that although some older dwellings may not seem attractive, they still do have what we call "good bones" allowing untapped potential.
Our expertise gives you the quality and refreshed home you may be looking for. With our end-to-end project management we will help you determine the true value of your current home, the needs and conditions structurally then determine with you the likely real estate value. As we do this, it'll give us a good idea to advise you on the best steps forward whether your goal is to use it as an investment or reestablish it as your home
Many people who come to us love the neighborhood they live in when they find that their current home no longer suits their lifestyle, or family. They do come to us to explore building a custom home on a new lot, however, in many situations a home addition or extension may suit their compromise.
Mixing an addition with a remodel comes close enough to a new home build while keeping you in your neighborhood.
Not just any type of swimming pool but we build custom swimming pools as part of the custom lifestyle you seek. Our experience with custom landscaping and integrating your swimming pool into your backyard oasis is part of our experience and skill.
Our pool design and construction utilizes insulated concrete forms rather than fiberglass, liner or the popular container pools, because it gives you endless possibilities, flexibility and durability of your finished product.
We provide you affordable and creative hard rock, brick and stone landscaping including walkways, retaining walls and water features to match your goals and custom home. This design and construction is custom and meant to last and augment your project needs.
Our focus is on creating and maintaining "green spaces" as well as implementing an environmentally friendly construction philosophy.
