WELCOME TO HYVEST HOMES

WE DO MORE THAN JUST BUILD

WE DO NEW CONSTRUCTION

WE DO ADDITIONS & REMODELS

Building or remodeling can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to. From that first conversation to final touch-ups, we’re with you every step of the way, helping you make confident decisions, avoid surprises, and actually enjoy the process.

WHAT WE DO

We specialize in full home renovations, additions, and custom new builds — all designed to fit your life, your style, and your future. From major remodels to ground-up construction, we manage every phase so you can enjoy the process, not just the result.

From Concept to Completion, We Got You!

Why juggle a kitchen remodeler, a bath specialist, a plumber, and an electrician — when you can keep it all under one roof? At Hyvest Homes, we manage every phase of the project so you can stay focused on the big picture, not the day-to-day chaos.

We handle everything from fix-and-flip renovations and kitchen or bath remodels to full custom builds and home additions. Our job is to keep things moving, keep you informed, and make the whole process feel a lot less stressful.

Creating spaces for families to grow, friends to gather, and memories to flourish is our passion—and we can’t wait to show you what we can do.

We specialize in all phases of construction, from fix n’ flips & kitchen/bath remodeling. . .  to new construction & additions. Creating spaces for families to grow, friends to gather and memories to flourish is our passion, and we can’t wait to show you what we can do!

HOW IT WORKS

We handle every part of your project — from architectural drawings and permits to managing every trade on-site. Our process is transparent, straightforward, and built around keeping you informed. Here’s what to expect in 3 easy steps:

1. FREE ESTIMATE

Got plans — or just an idea in your head? Reach out by phone, text, email, or our online form, and let’s set up a visit. We’ll talk through your goals, take measurements, and snap a few photos so we can send you a clear, detailed estimate you can review.

2. SIGN THE CONTRACT

Once you’ve reviewed your estimate, we’ll walk you through the full scope of work, timeline, and payment schedule. We’ll answer any questions you have, make any final tweaks, and when you’re ready, we’ll get everything signed and lock in your project.

3. LET'S GET TO WORK

Once the contract is signed and deposit is in, we’ll submit permits (if needed), order materials, and get your project scheduled. We manage every detail — so you don’t have to. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and keep things moving from day one.

Once the contract and deposit are in place, we’ll schedule your project and provide a clear timeline from start to finish.

Most major projects — like additions, structural changes, and anything involving electrical, plumbing, or HVAC — require a building permit.

It depends on the scope of work. For large-scale projects like a full home renovation or a full second-floor addition, living in the home during construction usually isn’t possible.

We do our best to limit change orders, but the bigger the project, the more likely they are.

Absolutely. We treat your home like it’s our own — and that starts with keeping it clean, safe, and well-organized.

Working with Hivest Homes has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrates a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for the quality of their work. Communication was consistent and transparent throughout the entire project, and they were always responsive and solution oriented. The craftsmanship truly speaks for itself—every aspect of the project was completed with precision and pride. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality builder.

I've worked alongside many contractors over the course of a 25-year career in architecture. The ones who stand out are never just technically competent — they're the ones who understand that building a home is a deeply personal endeavor for the people who commission it. From my very first conversation with Gerald, that distinction was clear. Before we ever discussed a project, he talked about where he's trying to take his practice, what he values, and how he thinks about the relationship between builder and client. It was a conversation I'd expect from a design professional, not a cold introduction. What I've observed since confirms it. He communicates with the kind of speed and clarity that's genuinely rare in this industry. He treats the architects and engineers he works with as collaborators, not subcontractors. And he's building something intentional — his documented approach to the construction process reflects someone who takes craft and transparency seriously. For any homeowner trying to decide who to trust with a significant project, that combination is exactly what you should be looking for.

Hyvest Homes did a fantastic job transforming an unfinished space into a beautiful, functional bonus room. From start to finish, Gerald, Joe and team were very respectful, patient and responsive. I had a very particular vision for this space, and Hyvest really brought it to life. I know not every contractor would have been willing to work at that level of detail, and their communication and craftsmanship really stands out. We would absolutely use Hyvest again and have already recommended them to a friend looking to renovate. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely experience with Hyvest Homes. Gerald did our initial consult and responded to my myriad of questions in a timely manner. When it was time for the project to begin, Joe, the project manager was awesome. Brayan, their worker, was professional and always made sure the area was cleaned at the end of the day. I'm very happy with the results of my mini home makeover!
