Custom Homes, Additions, and Remodels in Vancouver, WA
Are you putting down roots in Vancouver, or joining the thousands who move to Clark County every year? Either way, you have picked a good place to build a life. This corner of Southwest Washington is one of the state’s fastest-growing areas, and the reasons are no secret: more room than the city across the bridge, no state income tax, and a quick hop to Portland. It’s also our own backyard. Marnella Homes has been based in Camas for four decades, so we didn’t find Vancouver on a map. We grew up building here. That means new custom homes on Clark County lots, additions for families who have outgrown their walls, and remodels that give a good house a second life. Everything we build is tuned to this weather and these streets, and you’ll notice the difference long after the last box is unpacked.
Custom Home Building in Vancouver
Found the perfect lot in Felida, staked out a few acres in Brush Prairie, or eyeing a fresh parcel up in Ridgefield? Vancouver is one of the few metro spots where starting from raw land is still realistic, because the land is still here. A custom home is a serious undertaking, so we think it through first, modeling how the house will perform and settling details on paper, which means far fewer surprises once framing begins. Your price is fixed from the start, with no lowball figure quietly waiting to balloon, and since Washington charges no state income tax, the money you keep can go into the house instead.
Home Additions
Outgrowing your Vancouver house but not willing to leave the neighborhood you love? In a fast-growing county, plenty of families choose to grow in place rather than start a stressful search. An addition is the answer when the location is perfect, and only the floor plan falls short. Many homes in Cascade Park, Hazel Dell, and Salmon Creek were sized for a different decade, with cramped kitchens and bedrooms. We build in a way that blends into the original house, and because every wall we touch is engineered to perform, the new rooms bring steadier comfort and cleaner air along with extra space.
Whole-Home Remodeling
Rather pour your budget into the Vancouver home you already own than chase listings across Clark County? Some of the finest houses in our older pockets hide a long to-do list behind their curb appeal, chilly winter rooms, temperatures that swing floor to floor, and moisture our climate pushes into the walls. A whole-home remodel lets you keep the character and finally retire the headaches. We look past the finishes to the envelope, the insulation, and the airflow, then rebuild to a standard made for soggy Northwest winters. What comes back is a home that still feels like yours, now comfortable, dry, and genuinely efficient.
Additional Services
Sitting on a stack of plans, or a contractor’s bid that gives you pause? Plenty of Vancouver projects begin somewhere other than a blank lot. Maybe a permit is stuck in the Clark County queue, or you want a seasoned builder to check the numbers before real money moves. Our additional services put that experience to work on a single piece of the puzzle, covering bid review, plan modification, building permit processing, plan review, technical consultation, and building design.
We bring the same rigor to a full build, scaled to the help you need. A careful review now costs far less than a fix later.

FAQs
Does Marnella Homes build custom homes in Vancouver, WA?
Yes. Our home base is in Camas, and we build custom homes across Vancouver and all of Clark County. With four decades of work in Southwest Washington behind us, we help clients who already hold a lot as well as those still hunting for the right one in areas like Felida, Ridgefield, and Brush Prairie.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Vancouver?
It shifts from one project to the next, shaped by your lot, your square footage, the design, and the finishes you choose. What stays constant is how we quote it. We set a fixed price based on real energy modeling, so your number is clear from day one. Skipping Washington’s nonexistent state income tax also leaves more room in the budget than you would find across the river.
Can you add on to or remodel an older Vancouver home?
Definitely, older houses in Cascade Park, Hazel Dell, and the heart of Vancouver often call for more room, upgraded insulation, and fresher indoor air. Additions and full remodels are both squarely in our wheelhouse, and we build each to a high-performance standard so the finished home lives better, not simply bigger.
Do you offer any warranty?
Yes. A third-party ten-year structural warranty comes standard with every Marnella home, right alongside our fixed-price proposals and a build process we keep open and clear the whole way through.
