After years of living in a larger family home on Prune Hill, Ken and Mindy reached a new stage of life—ready to downsize, simplify, and create a custom home tailored entirely to their lifestyle in the heart of Camas, WA.
With limited new construction opportunities in downtown Camas, WA, they realized that building a home from the ground up was the only way to truly get everything they wanted.
“Now that we’re building a house for just us and not for having kids, we could pick a better location that’s just for two people. We were able to get every single thing we wanted… this is our dream home.”
Rather than compromise on an existing home, Ken and Mindy chose to build with Kingston Homes LLC—a trusted luxury custom home builder in Camas, WA and Vancouver, WA. Their goal was simple:
“If you want everything exactly the way you want it… the only way to get that is to build.”
After researching builders throughout Clark County, WA, Kingston Homes stood out for its:
“I had checked every builder…how they built, their time frames….For us, every house we looked at that Kingston had built…I liked the design, the style, the quality… I knew this wasn’t going to go wrong.”
For Ken and Mindy, selecting the right custom home builder in Camas, WA was the most important decision—and Kingston delivered.
One of the biggest advantages of working with Kingston Homes was their ability to build on our own lot in downtown Camas.
Even with site constraints—including slope and height restrictions—Kingston guided them through:
“I’m looking at this bare land and thought, ‘I don’t know… Is this going to work?’ And Chris said, ‘it’s going to work.’ We didn’t feel like we were giving anything up… everything worked out.”
Kingston Homes provided a unique advantage by serving as both builder and real estate partner, simplifying the entire process.
“Having Kingston and their real estate partnership with Parker Brennan be all of it for us made everything easier. Chris was involved with the sellers and the seller’s agent all along the way, knowing the building restrictions…not just negotiating a contract, but knowing what we could and couldn’t do…it was just easy for him to get the things that we wanted done, get questions answered, get things moving… where they needed to move. Having the Kingston Team be all of it for us was just really helpful.”
This integrated approach is a major differentiator for those seeking new construction in Vancouver, WA and Camas, WA.
Ken and Mindy’s home was designed with intentionality—maximizing natural light, livability, and personal interests.
Standout Features Include:
“Everything is carefully crafted so the light hits exactly where we want it.”
Throughout the build, Kingston Homes provided:
Attention to Detail That Goes Beyond Expectations
What truly stood out was Kingston’s commitment to doing things the right way—even when it meant going beyond scope.
“Chris saw something he didn’t like and said, ‘We’re not doing that.’ They redid it—no question…And that’s that family vibe where you would do that for your family member. You would do that for somebody you really cared about. And that’s how we felt the whole time.”
That level of care reflects a builder who treats each home as if it were their own.
For Ken and Mindy, the decision is simple: “I wanted this to be a house that we could be in forever and not feel like, I wish we’d gone with a better builder… Build your own house… use Kingston. It’s an easy recommendation.”
