Rich Tovar spent years as a subcontractor before becoming a general contractor, and that ground-up path — 25 years in the construction business — shapes how Wind River Homes LLC builds today. Based in Salem, Oregon, the company constructs semi-custom and custom homes, both in its own subdivisions and on customers' property. The semi-custom approach lets buyers tailor a home to the way they live without starting from a blank page, while the custom option opens the door to building on land they already own. For new homes in the Salem area, Wind River Homes offers an owner-operated, hands-on building relationship.
