Blacksburg's Experienced Custom Home Builder – Best of Houzz 2019!
Whether it’s on your own land, estate lots provided by us or in one of the great existing neighborhood communities where we are one of a few select builders, the Progress Street Builders Team offers move-in ready homes for sale, time tested semi-custom home plans from which to start, and design/build residential services.
Given an opportunity to contribute to the fabric of our community by building new homes, Progress Street Builders was conceived in the mid 90’s by Eric Sallee, Stan Whitmarsh, and Don Hughes. Named after one of Blacksburg’s original streets, our name pulls from the past while reflecting on a bright future. It is a privilege and honor to live and work in a place filled with the natural beauty and inspiring energy of Southwest Virginia. Protecting the remarkable quality of life that we all enjoy is a driving factor in the selection of the projects we undertake (or even consider!).
For more than 25 years, Progress Street Builders has provided new homes across a wide price range and for a variety of lifestyles from town homes in tightly knit communities to serenely private mountaintop estates and bungalows along the byways. Regardless of home size or budget, our commitment to a predictable and pleasant home building experience does not vary. We invite you to come see why we have chosen to call this area home. We would love the opportunity to build a new home for you in this very special place.

PSB was great to work with from the design through build phase.
This was our first time building a house. Taking on this task while both working full time jobs and raising 2 small children was challenging, but he PSB team helped us through the many steps of the process. Creating a clear timeline for decisions on selections was very helpful for my wife.
We could not be happier with the final product and PSB truly took our ideas and turn it into a reality.

We selected Progress Street Builders because we wanted to build a new home for our retirement, but 200 miles from where we were living. We needed a professional builder with an approach to design, collaboration, and communication that suited our already busy schedule. Our project was to be on an unusual and somewhat difficult property so there was a lot of detail to plan and work out. From initial consultation, to design, to component selections, to the final punch list - we have been informed and pleased. Everyone is pleasant and eager to help. We have moved into our "dream home" and are completely pleased. This was a great experience!

We just finished completion of our new home with Progress Street Builders. From design through construction, Progress Street was exemplary. We couldn’t be any happier with the finished product! Progress Street and staff were readily available throughout the process to discuss even the smallest details and concerns. Their work is exceptional. The end result is a home they will serve us well in both style & quality for many years to come.

I decided to hire Progress Street Builders because I was looking for one-stop-shopping with a custom home builder who had a reputation for building quality homes. I was immediately impressed by their willingness to be flexible as we constantly modified the floor plan to meet our needs. I was also impressed that they actually included a section of their contract to deal with trust between the owner and the contractor...and they certainly earned my trust as the project progressed.
So many people warned us how difficult and time-consuming it would be to build a custom home, and Progress Street proved them wrong. They made it so easy and manageable... and enjoyable to go through the entire process. Long story short, we are thrilled with our new home, and Progress Street came within two weeks of our target move-in date...a great accomplishment given the winter weather delays.
Despite all the attention to details, there will always be some punch list items when so many building trades are involved with the creation of a one-of-a kind home. Once again, I was warned not to pay in full until all the areas of concern were addressed. I heard horror stories of builders virtually disappearing after they were paid and their customers left hanging. Not so with Progress Street. They have been excellent on all the follow-up items, and have overwhelmingly pleased this meticulous customer.

Our experience with Progress Street Builders has been excellent. From start to finish their professionalism, knowledge, work quality and integrity has been outstanding. At all levels their staff has been likeable and very easy to work with. Plus, our project was completed ahead of the deadline and within budget. We recommend them without reservation.

Progress Street has been fantastic to work with. I contacted them to build a custom home for my grandparents that would make it worth their effort to move to the area from northern Virginia. All of my interactions with them have been overwhelmingly positive. Don and his crew were very accommodating regarding meeting times and requests made at all points of the project. Amy was very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable to help us through the selections process. It was also wonderful working with Greg onsite as the building progressed. Any concerns we had were minor, but were addressed immeditely and I feel like in a lot of ways we were treated like family. I was extremely pleased with the service and end result we received and would recommend them to anyone looking to make their home in the area.

I can't say enough about everyone at Progress Street Builders. The processes they have in place throughout the entire construction process is second to none. This was our second time building a custom home but our first time working with Progress Street and this build was much smoother and the final product was of a much higher quality. Every detail was thought out well in advance and there was absolutely no lag time on our project. We are thrilled with the finished product and couldn't be any happier with our new home. Thank You Progress Street Builders!

Progress Street Builders exceeded our expectations in the construction of our custom "forever" home. The staff at PSB guided us through the concept, design and construction process, showing their dedication and expertise every step of the way. We couldn't ask for more in a builder. The quality of construction is unmatched to any we've experienced in our 28 years of buying and selling homes. Building a home is much more than a project to Progress Street, it's their reputation represented in all aspects of the final product. We also realized that Progress Street is well-respected among the service providers and that, combined with the scale of Progress Street's business, they attract the best of the industry to build the project. We couldn't be happier with the excellent home the Progress designed and built for us.

When we purchased property to build on, we selected Progress Street Builders to help us plan and complete our new home. Selecting Progress Street was based on several things:
1. Their excellent reputation in the community.
2. First-hand experience with the quality of their work from living in one of their spec homes for over 10 years.
3. Impressed that Manager lived in Wyatt Farm subdivision while building there – you can only do that if you do things “right”.
We found them to be client centered throughout the 2 year process of planning and building. All their personnel were consistently patient, skilled and professional. They provided expert guidance at all times and were especially helpful in suggesting modifications to allow us to “age in place”. They were creative and persistent and willing to seek unique solutions for our ideas and desires. They were always willing to discuss options from a cost/quality/function perspective. Their good humor and cheerful approach made the process a pleasure from beginning to end.
We found all of the sub-contractors and tradespeople to be skilled and experienced. In addition they were communicative and willing to adjust when needed. Progress Street Builders had high expectations from their sub-contractors and were always responsive when any concern arose.
Everyone worked hard and carefully and with great skills. In particular, the cabinet work was exceptional, as were the trim carpenter and the painters. We appreciated the socially conscious and local selection of many sub-contractors as well.
We learned a tremendous amount and thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. We have great respect for all Progress Street Professionals and are thrilled with the end result. We felt listened to and included from our first meeting until we got the keys! They continue to provide extraordinary service and support during our first year in our home. We cannot recommend them too highly!

We worked with the team at Progress Street Builders to design and construct our new home. We had no prior experience building, but were extremely impressed with the people, process, and result. Every step of the way, PSB provided us with the information and time we needed to make decisions. They listened carefully to what we wanted, and were thoughtful and creative in helping us realize our vision within the constraints of our lot and budget. The process was smooth, and the final product is impressive - but the most important part of our experience with PSB were the people. Every single person we worked with was amazing. They are knowledgable, hard working, and caring. This seems to extend even to their subcontractors who, to the trade, do great quality work. We felt like PSB always had our best interests at heart and were impressed with how freely and honestly they would communicate with us throughout the process. In short, they are good people, that do good work, in the right way.

Progress Street Builders built our beautiful custom home, incorporating our tastes and desires into every detail. They are not only outstanding builders, but true professionals in their industry. They were able to tell us the exact cost of our house with every upgrade/change we requested. We highly recommend them.

When you combine a talented organization like Progress Street Builders with a great resource like Houzz, you get a building experience that is fun and less frustrating! "A picture is worth a thousand words" really becomes fact when you are able to find a picture to show what you want done and words just won't get your idea across. Our new home is tailored to our use and very functional for our lifestyle due to the listening skills and ability to translate our wishes into reality that we found with Progress Street Builders. We did a lot of 'built in' furniture and had some specific needs for family gatherings and Progress Street Builders did these areas with wonderful creativity. We are enjoying the positive responses of family and friends who have visited and we look forward to many years of hosting all kinds of gatherings in our new home.

My experience with Progress Street Builders in building a custom home was a real pleasure! The project entailed a prairie style home on a hilltop with immaculate interior and exterior architectural design and high quality construction. The team worked seamlessly together to understand what I wanted in the home, to design the home to meet my preferences, and to implement the project within my budget and time constraints. Each member of the team demonstrated great professionalism and in-depth knowledge, a high level of creativity and attention to detail, along with superb problem solving skills. As just one example, Don (the general manager) obtained numerous samples of different kinds of wood with different kinds of stain to enable us to select the perfect match for the interior wood trim that was superbly designed by David (the designer) which was then carefully installed under the supervision of Greg (the project manager). During the project, I came to rely on the team completely for their expertise and their ability to deliver to a level that not just met but exceeded my expectations.

We hired Progress Street Builders (PSBs) to build us a custom home that would provide for the needs of a severely physically disabled child, expanding family, and a more modern decorating style, all on a strict budget. Our experience with every employee at PSBs is one that embodies the definition of excellent customer service. They skillfully guided us through designing floor plans and architecture with plenty of ideas and problem-solving guidance. They patiently waited on us to work through detailed decisions and took longer with us than a typical client to design and re-design detailed floor plans to suit our special needs and future goals for our home while at the same time helping stay in budget. We are pretty particular when it comes to interior selections, designs, and finishes. But PSBs made the selections process for every detail of the interior a fun process and we are so thrilled with the gorgeous results! We could have never thought through so many special details for a child in a wheel chair without their help and expertise. The PSBs team came up with so many unique and amazing ideas! We really love the results. No matter what challenges arose during the building process the PSBs team bent over backwards to make every detail turn out just the way we wanted it to. We highly recommend Progress Street Builders to anyone who is looking to build a custom home. We are very happy with our new home and grateful to have worked with such a wonderful team of professionals at Progress Street Builders.
