About Rafter C Construction

Rafter C Construction was built from the ground up, literally. Owner Chris Crider began working in metal building construction in the early 1990s, learning the trade with his own two hands. By the mid-2000s, his craftsmanship and reputation had naturally evolved into full-scale residential construction. Today, Rafter C is known for blending rugged Texas durability with personalized design and detail, offering clients a better, smarter way to build.
At Rafter C Construction, we believe great builds come down to three things:
Experience. Integrity. And true customization.
Every project we take on is unique, no cookie-cutter templates, no mass-produced plans. Whether you’re building a custom home, a barndo, or a metal shop on your ranch, we tailor every detail to your land, your goals, and your lifestyle.
We’ve spent decades refining our process to ensure every build is done right, the first time.
We are a fully insured contractor committed to building structures that withstand the Texas climate and lifestyle. Whether you're building your forever home or a weekend getaway, you can trust Rafter C Construction to get the job done with integrity and craftsmanship.
