Design Built Homes, Ltd.

As owner of Design Built Homes, Ltd., Melanie Spurgeon comes by her passion for home building naturally. It’s literally in her personal foundation as she grew up playing at her grandfather’s job sites and her father’s cabinet design company. Her grandfather, Howard Spurgeon, was a widely respected and busy builder in central Illinois starting in 1940. He and his three sons built some of the finest homes in the Washington area and showed off their diverse skills by also developing and constructing schools, power plants, water treatment facilities, gymnasiums and subdivisions.
