New Construction, Barndominiums, & Home Addition Builds Across Central Kentucky

Create and Build Your Dream Home With a Local Builder You Can Trust

Your home isn’t just walls and a roof; it’s the place where your story unfolds. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holidays… the big moments and the quiet ones, all under one roof. At Hanks Homes, we see a house as something much more personal. It’s a reflection of who you are, how you live, and where you’re headed. We’re a local, family-owned builder right here in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, and we take pride in building custom homes, barndominiums, new builds, and turnkey projects for folks all over Anderson County and Central Kentucky. We want you to feel at home the second you walk through your door.

Building a home is a huge decision. You want someone you can trust by your side from start to finish so you can feel good about the choices you make. That’s where we come in. Hunter Hanks and his dad, Eddie, bring over 30 years of building experience to every project. We’re all about straight talk, honest work, and making this process as smooth as possible for you. We handle the details, so you can focus on the excitement of seeing your dream home take shape.

Home Services Built Around Your Needs

Custom Home Building, New Construction & Turnkey Home Builds – We partner with you to design and build a home that actually fits your style, budget, and long-term plans. Whether you need a fully custom design built around your vision, complete new construction management from site prep to final walkthrough, or a turnkey solution where we handle absolutely everything, we've got you covered. From personalized floor plans and energy-efficient materials to quality finishes and modern building practices, we manage every detail so you don't have to. You'll always know where your build stands and what's coming next. For busy homeowners or out-of-town clients, our turnkey approach means you can move into a fully finished home with minimal stress, we handle the planning, budgeting, materials, scheduling, and construction from start to finish. One team. One process. Your home, built right.

Barndominium Construction – Barndominiums are gaining popularity across Kentucky, and for good reason-they're durable, versatile, and offer the kind of open, flexible space that traditional homes can't match. Whether you're planning a residential barndominium, a mixed-use space that combines living and work areas, or something completely unique to your land and lifestyle, we design and build it to fit. We use energy-efficient building systems, quality materials, and custom interior layouts that work the way you need them to. From simple, straightforward designs to fully customized builds with workshop space, storage, or multi-functional living areas, we help you create something functional, comfortable, and built to handle whatever Kentucky throws at it. If you want a home that's a little different and a lot more practical, let's talk barndominiums.

Remodeling, Renovations & Home Additions – Love your home but need more space or a better layout? We handle remodeling, renovations, and home additions that blend seamlessly with what you already have. Whether you need an extra bedroom, an updated kitchen, a better flow between rooms, or a full expansion, we match your existing style while adding the functionality and value you're looking for. We approach renovation projects with the same attention to detail and quality craftsmanship as new builds-careful planning, skilled trades, and finishes that last. You'll get the space you need without losing the character of the home you already love.

Why Choose Hanks Homes

Picking a builder is a big deal. At Hanks Homes, we think your builder should feel less like a contractor you hired and more like a partner you can actually count on. That's how we approach every project.

Family Owned and Operated – You Work Directly With the Owners

Hunter Hanks and his dad, Eddie, run this company together. They've got over 30 years of building experience between them, and they're personally involved in every project they take on. When you work with us, you're working directly with the people responsible for getting it done right. That kind of personal involvement keeps us accountable, keeps things consistent, and makes sure your home never gets treated like just another number on a spreadsheet. Because to us, it isn't.

Built on Commitment – Our Name Is on Every Project

Everything we do comes back to commitment-to our clients, to doing quality work, and to the neighborhoods we help build. We put our name on every project, and we build with that in mind. That means we plan carefully, give honest advice and take responsibility when something needs attention. Every home we finish strengthens our reputation. We don't take that lightly.

Trust Is Our Foundation – No Surprises, Just Straight Answers

Here's what matters most to us: trust. You can't build a home with someone you don't trust. That's why we're upfront about pricing, realistic about timelines, and clear about what's happening at every stage. We believe homeowners deserve straight answers and a process that feels organized-not like you're being left in the dark or overwhelmed by details you can't control.

Loyalty That Lasts – Built on Referrals and Relationships

That trust builds loyalty. A lot of our work comes from referrals-people who have worked with us sending their friends, family, or neighbors our way. That doesn't happen by accident. We build that loyalty through consistency, quality work, and actually doing what we say we're going to do. And when your home is finished and you've moved in? We don't disappear. We're still here if you need us.

Structured for Success – We Handle the Details So You Don't Have To

Building a home takes more than knowing your way around a hammer. It takes coordination, planning, and paying attention to a thousand little details most people never see. Our process keeps things moving without rushing, and it's flexible enough to adapt when your vision changes. We handle the permits, the inspections, the scheduling-all the logistics that can make or break a project. You shouldn't have to juggle all that while also trying to make decisions about your future home.

Craftsmanship That Meets Care – Quality You Can See and Feel

We work with local tradespeople we've trusted for years. People who've proven themselves over dozens of projects. Hunter and Eddie stay hands on through the whole build to make sure the quality is there in every phase, from framing to the final touches. We want to build homes that feel solid the day you move in and still feel that way twenty years down the road.

Local Roots, Lasting Impact – We Know This Land

We're from here. Anderson County. Central Kentucky. We know this land, the building codes, what works and what doesn't in our climate. Whether you're building on family land that's been passed down for generations, acreage you just bought, or a lot in a neighborhood, Hunter and Eddie bring local knowledge and straight dealing to the table. That matters more than people realize.

Start Building With Confidence

Building your home should actually feel fun, not a headache. With Hunter and Eddie on your team, that’s exactly what you get. They pay attention to what matters to you, then get to work making it real. At Hanks Homes, we don’t just throw up some walls and call it a day. We partner with you, every step, to turn your ideas into something you can walk through and actually feel proud of. Maybe you want a custom build with all the bells and whistles. Maybe you’re dreaming of a barndominium that fits your land perfectly. Or maybe you just want to give your current space a serious upgrade. Whatever you’re picturing, we’re here for it, and we’re all in.

You won’t be left guessing. We lay out your options, tell you straight what works and what doesn’t, and explain the thinking behind every decision. Before the first shovel hits the ground, you’ll know exactly what’s possible. And when construction starts, we don’t vanish, we stick with you until you’re walking in the front door of your new place, keys in hand.

This is your home. Your land. Your legacy. Let’s make sure it gets built right, together.

Ready to get started? Give Hunter and Eddie at Hanks Homes a call. We will sit down, listen to your ideas, answer your questions, and map out how we’ll bring your new home to life. Your dream home in Central Kentucky all starts with a real conversation. Let’s chat.
