About Ray Wolfe Construction
Ray Wolfe Construction, Inc began as Cruz and Wolfe Construction in 1979 when a young Ray Wolfe partnered with the longtime and highly-respected local contractor, James Cruz. This partnership lasted nearly 10 years until Jim’s retirement in 1988.
That year, Ray formed the new company and continued in the Cruz and Wolfe tradition. Under Ray’s leadership, the company grew dramatically and added many new capabilities without compromising its original core values. Today, Ray’s commitment to professionalism, quality, and craftsmanship continues to be at the heart of our company culture.
In 2007 Ray retired and passed the torch to his son, Ryan Wolfe, who continues to run the company on the same principles passed down from his predecessors. To this day, when a RWC home is listed on the resale market, “This home was built by Ray Wolfe Construction” is often listed as a major selling feature.

In addition to our meetings, Ryan provided us with project support information tools specifically crafted to make the building process easy for us, such as contact information for vendors and sequential, chronological schedules and reminders to guide us as to when we needed to make decisions on windows, roofing, moldings, hardware, appliances, cabinets, finishes, etc. These were extremely helpful in guiding us through the building decision-making process and enabled us to move in precisely on schedule!
