“I never thought of myself as a construction guy,” Oleg laughs. “I was the real estate one. I was supposed to sell the homes while Dad built them.” But life had other plans. When the recession hit in 2008, both father and son found themselves without clients, without projects, without much hope. Until the phone rang. Banks needed someone to fix half-built homes. Foreclosures needed finishing. And the two of them? They needed purpose. “We just started working,” Oleg says. “Little by little, one job turned into another. I looked up one day and realized—I wasn’t in real estate anymore. I was building.” By 2014, Foksha Homes was born in its full form. And the two were no longer just father and son. They were partners. A Philosophy of Craft, Not Scale Today, Foksha Homes builds everything from $20,000 bathroom remodels to multi- million-dollar estate renovations. But price isn’t the point. People are. “We never want to get to the point where we can’t help someone,” Oleg says. “We don’t have a minimum. We don’t say, ‘Your job isn’t big enough.’ If someone comes to us and it’s realistic—we make it happen.” What makes them truly unique isn’t just the quality of the work. It’s the continuity behind it. “We use the same subs—every time,” he explains. “The same plumber, same electrician, same cabinet maker. Whether it’s a $20,000 job or a $2 million build, it’s the same hands. That means something to me.” 69
