We Built This Company Because Homebuilding Needed It.

Before he ever started building homes, Ron Gantt spent his time defending the nation as a United States Marine — a veteran whose service earned him medals and a reputation as one of the best at what he did. He carried that same standard into a career producing national and international experiential campaigns for brands like Coca-Cola and John Deere, where he learned that big promises only work when the people making them deliver.

Then he spent a year working alongside a local builder, learning the ins and outs of homebuilding — and saw an industry that too often hides the truth. Buyers receive pricing all over the place, vague scopes, and no real clarity on what they're actually paying for. Ron started True Cost Homes to change all of that: clear, open-book pricing and a commitment to honesty at every step — from design and preconstruction, through the build, the warranty, and the life of your home. One single source of truth: what you're paying us, what your materials and trades cost, and what you're getting for your money.

Ron's passion for giving back runs just as deep. As a missionary, he and his wife and four children spent four years in Haiti building and doing orphan care — and that experience became one of True Cost Homes' core principles: build something meaningful here in America, and help build hope for people who would never otherwise have it.
