Meet the Builder
Some families pass down heirlooms. Ours passes down craftsmanship. TI Home Builders is led by a father and daughter who share more than their last name, they share a commitment to building something that lasts.
Bill Terry has spent decades on job sites, building homes with one principle in mind: do it right, stand behind it, and never cut corners. To him, a home is more than materials, it’s where life happens.
Laura Zito grew up watching that standard. Today, she helps guide homeowners through the process, turning their vision into spaces that feel personal and intentional.
When you build with TI, you’re working directly with the people behind the name, the ones who show up, stay involved, and care about the outcome.
Because every home we build is more than a project, it’s part of our legacy.

Timeless Design. Elevated Living
Coastal architecture is defined by its connection to the landscape, designed to capture natural light, frame views, and enhance how the home is experienced both inside and out. Elevated foundations, expansive porches, and large windows and doors establish a sense of openness, while interiors are thoughtfully arranged to accommodate both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Natural materials and light-toned exteriors echo the area’s design traditions, with outdoor living areas extending the home into comfortable, functional spaces that can be enjoyed year-round.
