Building a custom home is often described as a leap of faith—and for Matt and Kieu, that couldn’t have been more true. Relocating from the Bay Area and planning for long-term family needs, they were searching for more than just a home—they were looking for permanence, space, and thoughtful design on acreage in Camas, WA.
After years of searching for homes throughout Clark County, WA, they discovered the opportunity to build in the highly desirable Livingston Ridge community, where larger acreage homesites and scenic surroundings aligned perfectly with their vision.
“It is intimidating to build a house… but you’ve got to have a little faith and pick the right builder. Kingston really showed up.”
From the beginning, confidence in Kingston Homes was clear.
“We were confident Kingston and Chris were going to guide us in the right direction… I never had any doubts.”
From Vision to Reality
What started as an idea—sketches and raw land—quickly transformed into a fully realized luxury custom home in Camas, WA.
“It became sketches and dirt to this beautiful home that we have.”
Kingston Homes delivered a finished product that reflects:
“The quality, the design… everything is fantastic.”
With a focus on both daily living and entertaining, their home was designed around how they truly use the space.
Highlights Include:
“I love the kitchen and great room… we have the space to host and enjoy being together…My parents are aging and I felt very strongly that they would be moving in with us eventually.”
Even the smallest details were thoughtfully considered, including practical upgrades that enhance everyday living.
The custom home process involves countless decisions, and Kingston Homes ensured that every choice was both manageable and intentional.
“There were a lot of decisions, but it was doable…it was what we signed up for… Chris was always looking out for us making sure that we were going to be happy with what we wanted.”
This collaborative approach is what sets Kingston apart as a luxury custom home builder in Camas, WA and Clark County, WA.
One of the most impactful aspects of their experience was Kingston’s responsiveness and commitment to service.
“Everyone is professional and generous with their time. There were plenty of times I would text Chris on a Friday night at like 6 o’clock … and he always responded. It didn’t matter.”
That level of accessibility created confidence and peace of mind during what is often a complex process.
During construction, even third-party inspectors reinforced their decision:
“One of the inspectors said, ‘Oh, are you the owner? I’ve worked in this industry for ages… You picked a great builder. They are very conscientious; they don’t cut corners.’”
For Matt and Kieu, this unsolicited feedback confirmed they had chosen the right partner.
Looking back, their decision to build with Kingston Homes came down to trust—and that trust was well placed.
“I’m glad that my instincts were correct…we put our trust and faith in the right organization and the right individuals.”
