Custom Home Builder in Lexington, Kentucky
There's no single kind of Lexington home. Drive from the tree-lined streets of Chevy Chase out past the stone fences and horse farms of rural Fayette County, and you'll pass a century's worth of architecture and a dozen different ways of living. Lexington's architectural variety is part of what makes building here interesting, and it's also why a template never works.
As a custom home builder in Lexington, Hanks Homes has spent 30 years designing and building homes that nestle perfectly into their settings and serve the families who live in them. If you're ready to start planning, a conversation with our team is the first step.
Custom Homes Built for the Lexington Way of Life
We're a design-through-build company, which means we can take a project from the first rough sketch through the final walkthrough without handing you off to a third party. We prefer this approach because it delivers the most value to our clients. However, if you already have plans you love, we'd be more than happy to build them for you.
Here's what we build for Lexington homeowners:
New custom home construction: We design and build fully custom homes tailored to your lifestyle, budget, and land, with our team managing each phase every step of the way.
Barndominiums: Durable and flexible, these builds suit Fayette County's rural parcels beautifully while blending living and working spaces under one roof.
Home additions and renovations: Whether you need more room for a growing family or want an update that fits how you live today, we'll build new spaces that blend seamlessly with your existing home.

The Difference White-Glove Building Makes in Lexington
Choosing a builder is one of the biggest decisions a homeowner can make, and we take it seriously. As a known luxury home builder in Lexington, we don't define luxury by flash. To us, it's white-glove service: honest pricing, realistic timelines, and a single, reliable point of contact who knows your project inside and out.
When you work with us, you'll work directly with our family throughout the build. We handle permits, Fayette County inspections, scheduling, and the thousands of other details most people never see, keeping you informed at every stage so you're never guessing what comes next. Much of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients, a standard we aim to uphold in every build. But you don't have to take our word for it: you can read what our clients have to say on our testimonials page.
