Why We Started Three Little Pigs

People often ask us how Three Little Pigs began.

And the truth is… it didn’t start as a business idea.

It started with something much simpler: a love of homes.

Not a casual kind of love, but the kind where you find yourself thinking about them even when you don’t have to.

Designing layouts.

Reworking floor plans.

Talking through how a space could function better.

There were nights we’d sit down and sketch out ideas for a house… just for fun. Not because we had to. Just because we enjoyed it.

That’s always been there.

When Something Doesn’t Feel Quite Right

Before starting this company, we had our own experiences working with contractors.

And while some parts of those experiences were good… something always felt a little off.

• Sometimes the craftsmanship was great, but the communication wasn’t there.

• Sometimes expectations didn’t match reality.

• Sometimes things were said one way and delivered another.

• Sometimes the job site didn’t feel as cared for as it should have.

It wasn’t always one big issue—it was a lot of small things that added up.

And over time, we kept coming back to the same thought:

This could be done better.

Not just in how things are built, but in how people are treated throughout the process.

Building the Kind of Experience We Would Want

That idea stayed with us.

What would it look like to create a company where every part of the experience felt aligned?

Where communication was clear.

Where expectations were honest.

Where the details mattered.

Where the process felt just as thoughtful as the final result.

That’s really what Three Little Pigs was built on.

Not just doing the work—but doing it in a way that feels complete.

The Part We Value Most

There’s a moment at the beginning of every project that we don’t take lightly:

Walking into someone’s home.

Sitting down.

Listening.

Not just to what they want to change, but why.

Their ideas.

Their frustrations.

Their vision for how they want to live in their space.

That part matters. Because from there, everything else is built.

From Idea to Reality

What we enjoy most is the process in between.

Taking something that isn’t quite working… and figuring out how to make it better.

Talking through possibilities.

Solving problems as they come up.

Finding solutions that maybe weren’t obvious at the start.

There’s something truly rewarding about seeing a space transform—not just visually, but in how it functions for the people living in it.

Taking something old and giving it new life.

That never gets old to us.

Turning What We Love Into What We Do

At some point, we realized something:

Everything we naturally enjoyed—designing, building, fixing, reworking, creating—pointed in the same direction.

So we built a business around it.

And there’s a certain level of gratitude

that comes with that.

There’s a saying that it’s lucky to know what you want to do in life.

We don’t take that for granted.

Because every day, we get to do work that we actually care about.

And we think that shows—in the process, in the experience, and in the homes we’re trusted to be a part of.
