Our Team - West Chester Design Build

Chris Payson

Owner & Lead Designer

Chris has always had a passion for building and remodeling. He likes to say it’s in his blood. Being the oldest son of a building contractor, a passion within Chris was born from an early age, a hunger to design and build wonderful homes. Chris has many memories from his youth of helping his father on jobsites, accompanying him on trips to the lumber yard, and sitting beside his father each evening as he was hard at work creating estimates, ordering materials, scheduling, and planning for the next day on the jobsite.
