About Us
A Builder You Can Count On
Quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and thoughtfully designed spaces built for real everyday living.
Martin Built Homes was built on the idea that construction projects should be organized, transparent, and professionally managed from beginning to end. Whether building a custom home, completing renovations, or managing commercial construction, our team stays closely involved throughout the process to help ensure quality work and a smoother overall experience.
We believe successful projects come from attention to detail and relationships built on trust. That means staying accessible, keeping projects moving, and taking the time to understand what matters most to each homeowner, business owner, or property developer we work with.
From custom residential construction to light commercial projects and multi-family work, Martin Built Homes is committed to delivering spaces that are built for long-term value, functionality, and everyday use. Our approach combines clean, timeless design with practical layouts, durable materials, and finishes that fit the way today’s families and businesses actually live and work.

My stress level during the building process stayed surprisingly low because Martin Built Homes made everything feel organized and straightforward. Questions were answered quickly, communication was clear, and I always felt confident the project was moving in the right direction.
I worked with Javan on a commercial project, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. He was responsive, easy to work with, and genuinely cared about delivering a quality final product. The finished space turned out beautifully, and the project stayed organized throughout construction.
The quality of work was outstanding, and the entire team was easy to work with from start to finish. This was my fifth brand-new home, and without question one of the best building experiences I’ve had. Attention to detail, communication, and professionalism all stood out throughout the process.
We always heard how stressful building a home could be, but Martin Built Homes made the entire process feel smooth and manageable from the beginning. Communication stayed consistent throughout the project, every selection felt straightforward, and we always felt informed along the way. The final result exceeded our expectations.
Javan / Martin Built Homes built our home nearly a year ago now and our experience with him and all the subs was excellent. He was always quick to respond to our questions! He’s very talented and we feel proud to have a quality built home.
Building my first custom home was a bit nerve racking and quite a daunting task to take on. However, Javan Martin helped me throughout the entire way with recommendations and guidance. He was very attentive to all my questions and needs. His communication throughout the entire process was top notch. Would recommend Martin Custom Homes to anyone and would not hesitate to build another home with him.
