ABOUT US
We also build lasting relationships
At Handley, we build more than homes — we build lasting relationships based on clarity, care, and a job done right.
Led by Charles and Nicholas Handley, we’re a design-build firm rooted in the Walla Walla Valley, serving homeowners who expect a higher standard of quality. With years of construction experience and a deep network of top-tier tradespeople, we bring structure to the complex, beauty to the practical, and confidence to every decision you make along the way.
Charles Handley
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
“For me, the goal isn’t just a beautiful home—it’s a smooth, respectful experience getting there.”
Charles leads every project with a sharp eye for detail and a deep respect for the people he builds for. But what sets him apart isn’t just knowledge — it’s presence. He stays involved. He keeps you informed. And he’s on-site making sure the work is done to spec, with no surprises and no compromises. Charles ensures every home is built with integrity and care.
For Charles, the finishing work isn’t just the last step — it’s the Handley signature. From trim carpentry to material selections, he’s passionate about building homes that feel just right, right down to the smallest details.
