Building Custom Homes Across Central Kentucky for Over 30 Years

Call Us

Our family-owned and locally operated custom home building business is rooted right here in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. For 30 years, our family has been turning bare lots and family land into homes where Kentucky families live out their best moments. When you build with us, you work directly with the owners, Hunter Hanks and his dad, Eddie, who stay personally involved from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. That hands-on approach is the heart of who we are. To us, a home is never just another job on a calendar. It’s your story taking shape, and we’d love to help you build it.

White-Glove Building, Start to Finish

Choosing a builder is one of the biggest decisions you may ever make, so we work hard to be the partner you can count on. You won’t be handed off to a rotating cast of subcontractors or left guessing about your own home. Instead, you get true white-glove service: clear pricing, honest timelines, and ownership itself guiding each phase. As a custom home builder, we personalize everything we build for you and the way you live. The result is a luxury home building experience that feels comfortable, not corporate.

Proudly Building Throughout Central Kentucky

We’re proud to call Lawrenceburg and Anderson County home, and our roots in this region run deep. Being local is not a small thing in home building: we know the land, the climate, and the building codes, whether you’re building on acreage that’s been in your family for generations or a new lot in a growing neighborhood. From our home base, we build for families across Central Kentucky, including Lawrenceburg, Lexington, Louisville, Nicholasville, Bardstown, Shelbyville, Versailles, and Danville. This is where we live, work, and raise our families, and we’re invested in helping these communities grow — one well-built home at a time. If you’re anywhere in the region and dreaming of a new home, let's talk.

A Feel-Good Building Experience

Building a home should be exciting — not overwhelming. Our process is built to keep it that way, from the moment you reach out to the moment you’ve officially settled in. We sit down with you, listen to your ideas, answer your questions, and map out what’s possible for your budget and land before a single shovel hits the ground. From there, we handle the heavy lifting (literally and metaphorically): the design, permits, inspections, scheduling, and the thousand little details most people never see. You’ll always know exactly where your build stands and what’s coming next.
