Custom Homes, Additions, and Remodels in Camas, WA
Drawn to Camas for the top-rated schools, the lake trails a few minutes from downtown, and a NW 4th Avenue that still fills up on First Friday? We understand the pull completely, because Camas is home for us too. Marnella Homes is headquartered right here in town, so when we build in Camas, we are building in our own community, on the streets we drive every day. This former mill town has become one of the most sought-after places in the Northwest, and we have watched it grow while keeping its small-town heart. We build new custom homes on the forested hills and lakeside lots that make Camas special, add space so families can stay in the district they love, and restore the early-century homes near downtown. Four decades of building science go into every one, so a Camas home lives as well as it looks, year after year.
Custom Home Building in Camas
Have a forested lot on Prune Hill, or a view parcel above Lacamas Lake? These are the settings that make Camas worth the premium, and a builder based in town knows how to do them justice. A custom home on a wooded slope can open to the Gorge, Mount Hood, or the lake, framed to capture it while working with the trees and the grade. We plan the site early, model performance through the seasons, and set a fixed price with no vague allowances waiting to grow. The result is a home that belongs to its landscape, and to the town we share with you.
Home Additions
Set on keeping your kids in the Camas School District but running out of room to make it work? You are far from alone, since those schools are the reason many families never want to leave. An addition lets you gain the bedrooms, the bigger kitchen, or the primary suite you need without giving up your address or your attendance boundary. We blend new space into the existing home so it reads as original, and we build it to a high-performance standard, so the added rooms are comfortable, quiet, and inexpensive to run. Staying in Camas rarely felt so easy.
Whole-Home Remodeling
Own one of the early-1900s craftsman homes near downtown Camas, from the days the mill built the town? Those houses are part of what makes the old neighborhoods so charming, and they deserve to be treated with care. A whole-home remodel can bring comfort, layout, and efficiency fully up to date while protecting the craftsmanship that gives these homes their soul. We work past the surface into the structure and the systems, seal the house against Northwest winters, and reshape the floor plan for how people live now. What you keep is the character; what you gain is a home that finally performs.
Additional Services
Have plans or a bid you want a hometown builder to review before you start? You can lean on our experience for a single part of the job without signing up for all of it. Whether a permit is moving slowly through the City of Camas or a quote leaves you uncertain, our additional services can help, covering bid review, plan modification, building permit processing, plan review, technical consultation, and building design. It is the same expertise behind our full custom homes, aimed at the one thing standing in your way. And since we are right here in town, a conversation is never far away.

FAQs
Does Marnella Homes build custom homes in Camas, WA?
Yes, and Camas is more than a service area for us; it is our home base. Marnella Homes is headquartered here, and we build custom homes throughout town, from forested view lots on Prune Hill to lakeside parcels and everything in between, with four decades of high-performance experience behind us.
Do you build luxury or view homes on Camas hillside lots?
We do. Camas is known for forested, elevated properties with views of the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, and Lacamas Lake, and homes like these are among our favorite projects. We design around the trees, the slope, and the sightlines, so the house makes the very most of its setting.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Camas?
It varies with the lot, the design, your finishes, and the site work a forested or hillside property calls for. We roll it all into one fixed-price proposal grounded in energy modeling, so your number is locked from the start rather than creeping up as the work goes on.
Can you add on to or remodel a home to stay in the Camas School District?
Absolutely, and it is one of the most common reasons people call us. Rather than leave a district this good, many families choose to add space or fully remodel instead. We handle both, improving room, comfort, and efficiency to a modern standard while keeping you right where you want to be.
