Our flexible floor plans can be tailored to fit your land, your budget, and your lifestyle. As your local custom home builder, we can design and build your dream home from start to finish.


We will guide you through the process of making all the personalized choices that will turn your new house into your new home.

With Ken’s experience, you can be assured that your home will be built to meet the unique needs and desires of you and your family. Our homes offer the attention to detail that you expect and deserve.


What to Expect

The idea is to make the process as easy and tailored to the client as possible. Clients start by browsing our floor plans and choosing one they're most interested in. Then, they schedule an appointment to visit our office and go over the details.If you already have land, bring your land papers. If you have an existing plan but need more help, bring that too. You’re not stuck with one floor plan — we’ll help you build YOUR home the way you want it.


During the planning stage, you can add stories, rooms, driveways, or anything else. Once we get to building, you’ll choose your floors, windows, doors, and light fixtures — and we’ll guide you every step of the way.


We don’t upsell unnecessary add-ons. If you want a custom flooring, it’ll reflect in your final cost, but the goal is for your home to be exactly what you dreamed of.


We handle everything — from clearing the land and drawing up the floor plans, to installing electricity, sewers, and lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paul & Christina Garland

After meeting Ken and Laura Broadwater years ago at a home show when we first starting talking about building, we knew there was no one else we’d trust to do the job right. Seven years later when we were finally ready to build, it was a joy to begin the process with Ken, who had become a friend over our years of emailing back and forth, giving updates, etc. Ken made the process clear, walked us through every step, adapted house plans, answered every question and we had MANY, and was patient with us. Every subcontractor to whom we were connected was helpful, kind, trustworthy, and did solid work. Even the mortgage and wholesale lighting store contacts whom Ken had recommended were incredibly helpful. Ken was always up front with us, was thorough, and made sure things were done right. There is no cutting corners with Ken Broadwater Homes. Ken and his team are ethical, honest, and have the utmost integrity. Since the company is Ken’s, we didn’t have to deal with a foreman who didn’t have a vested interest in the final product. Ken’s name, so to speak, is on the homes he builds, which makes him all the more determined to produce an incredible finished product and a happy customer. He was our go-to person for everything, and we are so grateful to have had a direct connection to our builder and the owner of the company! We moved into our new house in February 2014 almost 6 months ago, and we still love it. We would refer Ken Broadwater Homes to anyone and we have!
