About Us

For more than twenty years, Homes by Chris has been an award-winning designer/builder in the Kansas City area. This is a company owned and operated by Chris and Roy Ragland, who are a husband and wife team who have built more than 200 homes in the Northland area. This fantastic partnership started years ago at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Chris graduated from UMC in economics, earned an MBA from Rockhurst University, and spent 20 years in corporate project management before joining Roy in the building business. Roy first worked as, and still is, a realtor, before deciding to form the building company in 2003.

With Roy’s experience in realty and Chris’s experience as a manager in the corporate world, they have an attention to detail in their homes that is second to none. You will find they are committed to providing what you desire in your dream home including energy-efficiency, aesthetics, functionality, and design. They hold themselves to a high standard that is well above a traditional builder’s standard, and it is what truly sets them apart from any other custom or spec home you choose to buy.

Roy’s and Chris’s homes have won over 40 awards in the last fifteen years in Distinctive Plan & Design, Innovative Kitchen, American Dream, Best Model, and The Grand Award from the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City, as well as Kansas City Homes and Gardens.
