Your Dream Awaits
Less Waiting, More Living.
Stop picturing your dream home, start living in it. We believe the path to homeownership should be an exciting journey, not a stressful project. By building our homes with current design trends and long-term livability in mind, we've created spaces where life can unfold beautifully from day one. We've already completed the blueprints and managed the construction, so you can skip the headaches and get straight to what matters most: enjoying your life in a beautiful new home built just for you.
INSPIRATION
My process starts every morning with reflection, thanksgiving for the new day, and the companionship of my best buddy, Sterling. It's in these bright moments of new mercies that my ideas take shape. When you choose an LA Sterling home, you're not just buying a house—you're buying a vision born from countless footsteps and tail wags. Some builders just erect a house as fast and cheap as possible, then sell to the highest bidder.
That's not me.
Your new home meets the LA Sterling Standard, which means it's professionally designed and thoughtfully built with you in mind.
Message from the builder
For me, homebuilding is more than a business—it's a mission rooted in a powerful personal journey.
Having grown up along the U.S./Mexican border, I understand the profound value of homeownership. I vividly remember whole families running across our yard with luggage in hand, soaked from crossing the Rio Grande. In search of a new life, a new home.
When I was 10, I watched my hard-working father hand over the keys to his beloved truck just to pay that month's rent. My heart is heavy with memories of us packing hastily to move again to the next place we'd rent. Always moving. My parents came to the United States from Mexico with nothing, and worked hard to raise the five of us. I am grateful for how rich we were in family values, which made all of our dwellings feel like happy homes...even though we never had a house of our own.
My wife and I finally bought our first home in Marshall, Wisconsin when I was 28. I wouldn't trade the memories in this house for anything in the world. Watching the kids play in the backyard, Christmas mornings, family dinners. I want more people to experience that.
This perspective drives my commitment to building not just houses, but lasting homes for people in our community. I am no expert in construction, but I am an expert in building the right team. I learned this from my football coaches in Texas. I sacrifice profit for expertise, and I invest heavily in top-tier design and construction professionals. This allows us to create beautiful, premium spec homes that meet high quality standards. In addition to our luxury projects, we are bringing more affordable options for families in the lower-to-median price point, as we believe everyone deserves the joy of owning their own home. Stay tuned as we bring these ideas to fruition.
Hopefully, our next project is your dream home.

The Angelica Trail farmhouse stands as the first in a collection of our premium, custom-designed homes. The journey began one year before the first shovel hit the ground, with a comprehensive design and development phase. Our goal was to build a home that honors farm-style charm while keeping to Don Tierney's elevated standards of craftsmanship and architecture. The developer's personal engagement ensured an unwavering commitment to detail, treating each element as if it were for his own residence. Our driving principle was a shared understanding: we were building a family's dream home, a promise that guided every hand and decision on this project.
Future Projects
We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, regardless of budget. That's why we are excited to be in talks with local developers of a new community that will offer quality homes at an attainable price point. We understand the demand for more housing options in the Madison area, and we are dedicated to completing the arrangements that will allow us to offer homes below the median price. Stay tuned as we wrap up final details!
Investor, partner? Let's talk IDEAS
If you know me at all, you know that I can't shut up about the future. As a teenager, my plan was the NFL, as undersized and untalented as I was. My dreams haven't shrunk. Today, I know that all you need is the right team.
If you have ideas, let's talk. You never know, maybe we can bring something amazing to LIFE.
