Licensed B100 general contractor in Utah County
Additions, walkouts and new homes, built from the dirt up.
Ark Custom Homes is Quade Frampton’s general contracting company. Most builders hire out the excavation and the landscaping. Quade does that work himself, so one person is responsible for your project from the first dig to the finished yard.
What we build
One contractor for the whole project
From pulling permits to planting the last shrub, Ark handles the work that usually gets split between three or four companies.
Home additions
More room without moving. Extra bedrooms, family rooms, garages and bump outs, built to match the house you already have.
Custom homes
Building on your own lot? We manage the build from site prep to final walkthrough, working from your plans or your architect’s.
Walkouts and excavation
Walkout basements, egress, grading and site work. This is where Quade started, and it’s still what sets Ark apart.
Landscaping and hardscapes
Full yards, patios, retaining walls, sod and sprinklers, on their own or as the finish on a bigger project.
Why people call Ark
A small company that treats your house like it matters
Ark is owned and run by Quade. There’s no salesman and no project manager you never meet. The person who walks your site and writes your estimate is the same person you call with questions halfway through.
You talk to the person doing the work
Quade is easy to talk to and he’ll tell you straight what your project needs, what it doesn’t, and what it’s going to take.
Dirt to done, without the handoffs
Excavation, the build and the yard all run through one company. Fewer handoffs means fewer gaps where projects stall and nobody owns the problem.
Finished work that looks better than the price
Clients regularly tell us their project turned out nicer than they expected for what they paid. We’d rather do it right than cut a corner you’ll notice in five years.

Got a project in mind?
Most of our work comes from people who were referred by a past client, a builder or a neighbor. If that’s how you found us, we’d love to hear what you’re planning. Send a few details and Quade will call you back to set up a time to walk the site.
