It's all in the family.

As we’ve been building our business, we’ve also been building our family. Today, all principals of the company are also family members – a fact that, we believe, helps us relate to and build for other families, like yours. Our entire company – all of our employees – is infused with this sensibility so no matter which of our team members you deal with at any given time, you’ll receive the same excellent service and guidance.


Rick L. Scheper. The patriarch of the family, Rick has been a licensed contractor in New Bern, North Carolina for over 30 years. Born and raised in New Bern, he understands the needs of his Craven County clients, both those already living here and those moving in. Rick holds an unlimited contractor’s license and a passion for realizing his customer’s dreams. He was a master builder in Taberna and continues to build in that area. He is also a Master Builder in the Carolina Colours residential community.


Courtney Scheper Rhodes. Rick’s daughter, Courtney, co-owns and manages with her father, Courtney’s Custom Homes. Courtney shares Rick’s passion for building and for delivering a quality home to every client.


Frank Scheper. Rick’s brother, Frank, is Scheper & Associates project manager – the associate who works with each client throughout the entire building process. From the beginning of construction to the punch list work after completion, Frank is there to guide clients through every step.


Sharon Scheper. Rick’s wife, Sharon, is a professional interior decorator. She has exceptional interior design sense and assists clients with their choices of flooring, lighting, appointments, appliances, plumbing fixtures, paint and wall coverings. In short, Sharon helps clients to realize their visions. Available by appointment.

“We first met Rick Scheper four years ago when we were relocating to the New Bern area from Annapolis, Maryland. Rick responded to our questions and concerns regarding the area, the building process, and custom home options in a timely and friendly manner. Today, four years later, we can proudly say that we have been the owners of two impeccable homes masterfully crafted for our family by Scheper & Associates. The quality of construction, timeliness of completion and overall value are second to none. Rick Scheper is a trustworthy, professional and very courteous builder and friend. We recommend him with highest regards.”

“Patty and I want to express our appreciation to you, your staff and all your sub-contractors and suppliers for a job well done on the construction of our home in Carolina Colours. The task of building a new home, in a new community, and in a new state from a long distance always was initially at great concern to us. However, your timely construction schedule and constant communication updates - phone calls, faxes, and house photos - made this building experience very positive and enjoyable. You are to be congratulated as truly a Master builder.”

“We cannot say enough good things about Rick and his staff at Scheper and Associates. We want to thank them for the outstanding job they did for us in constructing our new home. It was a pleasant experience due mainly to the professionalism and constant attention to our concerns by Rick and his staff. The finished product is a quality home that demonstrates attention to details and pride in workmanship. I have to give Scheper and Associates a strong recommendation for anyone considering new home construction.”


“Thanks again Rick for being such a pleasure to work with. (It is truly our dream home)”
