Merv and Chris are more than builders—they are men whose lives are anchored in family. Merv’s quiet act of tucking his daughter’s baby kitten into his tool belt while she played is a snapshot of his heart: strong enough to carry the weight of his work, yet gentle enough to protect what his child loves most. Chris, with his beautiful family of seven, lives the same way—balancing the demands of building with the deeper calling of fatherhood.

Together, they remind us that true craftsmanship isn’t measured only in beams and bricks, but in the foundations of love, trust, and devotion they lay within their homes. The heart behind these men is for their families, and that is the legacy they continue to build every day.
