Lynn Ross Homes includes only two additional employees - the Jorgensens' son, Kyle, and Brian Lincoln, a close family friend. Kyle was a natural extension, since the company bears his and his sister's middle names. And currently, Lynn Ross Homes builds just 15 houses a year in the communities of West Des Moines, Earlham, Adel and Clive. Lynn Ross Homes has carved out its own unique niche among its larger competitors. According to Jorgensen, the company's commitment to quality has allowed it to thrive.
Many builders claim quality as a selling point.
Stu and Char are among the few remaining hands-on builders in the area. On any given day in one of their homes, both can be found on hands and knees installing wood flooring or custom cabinetry. The Jorgensens and Kyle do much of the finishing work themselves. The only services they contract out are the plumbing and framing. We try to build houses as if we were going to be living in them ourselves.
