Meet the Harrod Built Team
At Harrod Built, we’re more than just builders — we’re family. As brothers and co-founders, Michael and Chris Harrod lead every project with the same dedication, honesty, and craftsmanship that’s been passed down through generations. Together, we’ve built Harrod Built into one of the Central Coast’s most trusted custom homebuilding teams.
We believe the best homes come from builders who care — about the details, the people, and the process. Whether we’re designing your dream home or bringing new life to an existing space, we treat each job like it’s our own.
