About Integrity Homes & Our Process

What makes Integrity Homes different from other custom home builders in Western Colorado?

Integrity Homes combines a design-first approach with in-house construction expertise. Lawrence and Charlotte Balerio own Integrity Homes together, and Charlotte brings interior design experience to every project. We own High Grade Concrete & Excavation, so site preparation and foundation work are handled by our own team, not outsourced. Every client gets 24/7 Buildertrend access with daily progress photos and real-time updates.

What areas does Integrity Homes serve?

We build across Western Colorado, including Grand Junction, Montrose, Redlands, Clifton, Delta, Fruita, Palisade, and surrounding Mesa County communities.

What’s the difference between custom and semi-custom home building?

Semi-custom starts with a pre-designed floor plan that you personalize. Fully custom lets you begin from scratch with your own plans or an original design. Browse our available semi-custom floor plans.

How does the design and build process work?

Our five-step process: take the Home Design Quiz, choose your plan and lot, sign your agreement and meet our designer, approve your final quote, then follow construction in your online Client Portal. Explore our five-step custom home building process.

Can I bring my own floor plans or work with my own architect?

Absolutely. We build from client-provided plans and regularly collaborate with outside architects, while providing feasibility feedback for Western Colorado terrain and climate.
