Caruso Home Builders
Caruso Homes believes that, much like building a home, customer service starts from the ground up. Anthony Caruso founded Caruso Home Builders in 2009 with the vision of constructing the highest quality new and custom homes in the Capital Region, while also providing the smoothest experience. “I love seeing every phase of development and knowing that people are living in something that we poured our heart and time into,” says Caruso. Caruso broke ground this past fall on Phase II of Oak Ridge in Saratoga Springs. “I’m excited to be a part of Oak Ridge; the developer, Jeff Snyder, created a beautiful concept,” says Caruso.

Teakwood Builders, Inc.
What sets Teakwood Builders apart as the team you want to partner with? In a sentence, it is our humble yet firm belief—“If not Teakwood, then who?” We welcome the toughest challenges in the course of a project—be it in design, planning or crafting—as an opportunity to create an exceptional solution. Our team of designers, architect partners, seasoned craftspeople and skilled planners constitutes a unique ingenuity amongst our peers for assuring not only the quality of your custom project, but also the success of the experience in getting there. Be it the replication of a historic Victorian charmer or the polished finish of a contemporary glass cube with exposed timber and steel frame, our new homes set the standard for luxury. Our remodel projects tastefully incorporate unique features in your beloved home—features such as Tuscan wine cellars, media rooms that rock, relaxing spa-like bathrooms and gourmet kitchens. The Teakwood Touch is a recognizable mark of quality that graces all our projects—and the difference is the details. “Whether you are planning to remodel or have high expectations for your new custom home, you need more than a contractor. It takes an artistic eye and a talented team of craftspeople to execute a vision. We are committed to making this experience the best it can possibly be,” says Jim Sasko, Teakwood’s Owner.
