In our very first episode of A Builder’s Take, Sasha takes you behind the story of how Henderson Home Builders came to life—from Nick’s early days learning high-precision craftsmanship on Martha’s Vineyard to the moment Sasha pushed “publish” on a brand-new website and turned a long-held dream into a real Colorado home-building company.You’ll hear how Nick’s journey through fast-paced framing crews, high-standards mentors, and hands-on field leadership shaped the HHB philosophy of building homes “the right way, every time.” Sasha also opens up about joining Nick in the U.S., tackling the business side of the company, and what it was like designing and building HHB’s very first custom home—a thoughtful, light-filled ranch built during the pandemic for two psychologists seeking a place to truly live, work, and retire.From mudrooms to safe rooms, vaulted ceilings to movie theaters, this episode shares the heart behind HHB: craftsmanship, honesty, family, and creating homes where people can live beautifully for decades to come.If you’ve ever wondered who HHB really is, how we got started, or why we care so deeply about doing things the right way, this episode is the place to start.Connect with Henderson Home Builders:Website: hhbcustom.com Instagram: @hhbcustomFacebook: @hhbcustom Check Out Our Free Resources at hhbcustom.comStart Your Custom Home Journey: https://www.hhbcustom.com/team-1 See Our Recent Builds: https://www.hhbcustom.com/featured-project
