About Hepler Homes
Discover the Hepler Homes Difference
When you live in the Northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, you’ll likely bump into the Hepler family. Maybe at your favorite restaurant or shopping spot, maybe in Old Town Winchester, and definitely at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival.
Hepler Homes is a Virginia Class A licensed contractor. The team has solid relationships with many licensed and insured subcontractors, designers, suppliers, engineers, land developers, and real estate agents in the community. Hepler Homes and all its associates are committed to quality, excellence, and, above all, customer satisfaction.
The results have been phenomenal. Our team has accepted dozens of awards from organizations like the Top of Virginia Builders’ Association, the Home Builders Association of Virginia, the National Association of Home Builders, and the Blue Ridge Association of Realtors. More importantly, we’ve gotten to know about 800 new neighbors, just like you, who now live in their very own Hepler Home.
You too can enjoy the modern amenities of your new custom home, along with the attention to detail found only in a Hepler Home. You can create your own house plans and designs, which our team can then work off of. If you’re looking for inspiration for your custom home, check out the plans on our house plans page.

Ron Fristoe
Foreman
Ron will oversee the day-to-day operations during the construction of your home and ensure quality, functionality, and timely completion.
Ron has been in the construction industry for over 50 years. He was the president of a large construction company in Northern Virginia that built condos, office buildings, single-family homes, townhouses, and strip centers. Ron then went into business for himself, where he met Dave. After Ron gave retirement a try, he decided he didn’t enjoy it. Ready to go back to his passion for construction, he joined the Hepler Homes team and has been working with Dave ever since. Ron is married with two beautiful daughters and four amazing grandchildren. Ron’s hobbies involve old cars.
Amber Andrews
Administrative Assistant
Amber will be your main source of communication between the suppliers, installers, contractors, and workers through CoConstruct, your online Hepler Homes App.
Amber joined Hepler Homes in April 2023 as their Administrative Assistant. Amber has over 10 years of experience in the construction industry. She knows better than anyone that attention to detail matters. Over the years, she has learned the ins and outs of building, maintenance, repairs, and design. Through this process, she developed skills to help turn mere ideas into reality. She not only oversaw remodeling, demolition, and new construction projects, but she was the lead sales and marketing associate for these projects as well.
Amber currently resides in Stephenson, VA, with her husband, son, and family pet, Ruger, the Chocolate Lab. When the work is complete, Amber and her family enjoy having cookouts with friends and family. They also spend time in the summer months camping throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond.
