About Us

 

Ed and Melissa Batchelor would like to welcome you to a Batchelor home. We take home ownership very seriously and are committed to building quality homes at a competitive price. The Batchelors also know how important home ownership is to a family and that's one of the reasons we began this venture. We realized when our adult children began looking for homes, there were not many affordable homes in this area.

​

Ed and Melissa have a long history in the home building and construction business. In fact, it would be accurate to say we are your "local small or home-town builder." Ed has over 30 years of experience, many of them as a Class A licensed contractor. He built homes during 1985-1995 in some of Fredericksburg's most long-standing communities such as Holleybrooke, Breezewood, Leavells Crossing, Queens Mill, and Lake Wilderness. Throughout his career, Ed has built and remodeled many homes in the Fredericksburg area.

​

Melissa has lived in the Fredericksburg area (Spotsylvania County) her whole life and appreciates that although the area has grown; it still has the small town feel.  It's still a community where you see someone you know or went to school with each time you go out. Although she isn't a contractor by trade (she is a Certified Public Accountant), Melissa has been around the construction business her entire life with her father, Frank Leake. She has also served as general contractor on building two personal residences.

​

We believe what may make us different is an unwavering commitment to building--not just building homes, but also building trust, peace of mind and the relationships that will go throughout the building process. We take a special interest in each home. We know what our home means to us and what your home will mean to you. The most important home we'll ever build is your home--home is where your story begins and life happens every day. We want to be a part of your journey by being your builder for life!

 

We look forward to bringing our experience and desire to build quality homes at a competitive price point to the greater Fredericksburg area.
