"My favorite part of Payne and Payne is creating and working with the large and talented team of our hardworking employees, talented craftsmen, and knowledgeable suppliers to create a systemized approach to the orchestration of the custom home building process. Sales, design & detailing, specifications, and ultimately, the best part, seeing everyone working together to create the home."
