Homes designed for their land: the light, the slope, the view, the way the snow drifts. We work with your architect or bring one we trust, and manage permits, site work and build under one contract.
The best additions look as though they were always there. We match proportion, rooflines and materials, and handle structure and systems so the old house and the new part work as one.
One firm for the house, the land, and the years after.

Plain answers to what owners ask us first.
Who builds custom homes in Gardiner, NY?
Wiley Construction is an owner-led builder based in Gardiner, New York. We build custom homes, additions and renovations across Ulster County and the Hudson Valley, and every project is held to the same standard of craftsmanship, communication, and care, from the first site walk to the final punch list.
Do you work with my architect?
Yes. We work happily with your architect or designer, or we can introduce one from the network we build with. Once drawings are coordinated, you receive a detailed, line-item budget and a realistic schedule.
Can you build if I live in New York City?
Yes. Many owners in the Hudson Valley are part-time. Weekly written updates with photographs and scheduled site visits keep you involved without being there, and Wiley Home Stewardship can look after the house once it is finished.
Do I need to own land first?
No. We can review a parcel before you buy, covering access, slope, drainage, septic and well, zoning and a realistic cost range, so you know what the land allows before you commit.
Is there a minimum project size?
We take on projects of all sizes, from home care and maintenance to full custom homes.
Are you insured?
Yes. Wiley Construction is fully insured, and we provide certificates of insurance on request.
What areas does Wiley Construction serve?
We are based in Gardiner and work across Ulster County, including New Paltz, Rosendale, High Falls, Stone Ridge, Accord, Kingston, Woodstock, Highland, Wallkill and Milton.
How long does it take to build a custom home in the Hudson Valley?
Most custom homes take 10 to 14 months of construction once permits are in hand, plus time up front for design, site work, and approvals. We give every client a realistic, written schedule before work begins.
Do you renovate historic and older homes?
Yes. We restore period homes with care, updating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems while keeping original features like wide-plank floors and timber framing. Our 1790 farmhouse renovation in Milton is one example.
Do you build additions in New Paltz and Ulster County?
Yes. We design and build additions throughout Ulster County, including New Paltz, Gardiner, Stone Ridge, Kingston, and Woodstock, and match new work to the character of the existing home.
What is Wiley Home Stewardship?
It’s ongoing care for your home after the build: seasonal checks, maintenance, and oversight while you’re away, handled by the team that knows the house.
