About Us
Builders you can trust
Our story
We’re the Drage family — and our name is on every job we do.
Drage Family Builders is a family-run shop built on a simple promise: treat every home like it’s our own, charge a fair price, and do the work right the first time. From a leaky faucet to a whole-home remodel, we bring the same care and the same straight answers. When the Drage name is on it, you know exactly who’s accountable.
Fair price. Solid work. Done right.

Straight answers
Questions we get a lot
Is the estimate really free?
Yes — the visit and the written estimate cost you nothing. If we look at the job and think you don’t need the work, or that someone else is a better fit, we’ll tell you that instead.
Who will actually be in my home?
The Drage family and the small crew we work with regularly — not a rotating cast of strangers. You get one person to call the whole way through, and you’ll know who’s coming before they arrive.
How soon will I hear back?
Within one business day of your message, by whichever method you tell us you prefer — text, call, or email. If it’s urgent, calling is always fastest.
Can the price change once you’ve started?
The estimate is itemized and we hold to it. The only time the number moves is when something genuinely unexpected turns up behind a wall or under a floor, or when you ask for a change — and either way, you hear about it and approve it in writing before any extra work happens.
What will my house be like while you’re working?
Floors and furniture get covered, the site is swept at the end of every day, and we keep the rest of your home livable while the work is underway. It’s still a job site, but it won’t take over the house.
How do I keep track of what’s happening?
Every client gets a login to their own portal, where you can see progress and photos from the job, read your estimates and contracts, and view or pay invoices any time — no chasing anyone for an update.
How do I pay?
Invoices arrive by email and can be paid online by card, or by check if you’d rather. You’ll always have an itemized invoice and a receipt for anything you pay.
Do you work in my area?
We serve Mid-Missouri. If you’re near the edge of that, just ask — we’ll give you a straight answer rather than waste your time.
