Who is Berg?

Steve Berg came to Richmond from Cheyenne, Wyoming to attend VCU Arts. This education became the foundation for his building and design career. Soon after completion of his degree Berg founded Berg Building in 1981. Berg’s background in fine arts taught him to see each project with fresh eyes; to see the possibilities expressed by his client’s needs as an opportunity to expand and illuminate the integrity of the home. Berg combines his artist’s creativity with a love of traditional architecture and decades of building experience to ensure that each project receives the attention that all artwork deserves. Each of our homes is a work of art.

Our team of craftsmen have been working in their respective trades and with each other for years. Moe Elmore has been with Berg for over twenty years. With a degree in construction management from Virginia Tech along with his mastery of carpentry in older homes, Elmore is prepared to resolve any of the challenges our projects present. All of Berg’s key tradesmen, masons, painters, and electricians bring lifetimes of expertise, judgment and team orientation allowing us to attain the high level of craft and cooperation necessary to achieve the standards our clients require.

  Our work emphasizes traditional, architecturally authentic detail while pursuing creative solutions for modern living. We design and build additions and renovations that respect the original structure. We reform and transform entire houses. We create and recreate kitchens and baths. We build new homes that transcend time. Our additions are designed to work in unity with the existing home in function and appearance. Our new homes look and feel like they were built in the era of their style.

We approach each project with a three-part process:
