Custom Homes in Kent

Looking for a custom home builder in Kent? Greg Myers Construction is based in Rainier, about 43 miles away, and Kent is part of Greg's regular service area. He handles custom homes, lodge-style homes and craftsman builds.

In the older neighborhoods here, a lot of the work is remodels, additions, ADUs and decks on tight lots, built to the city's permit and inspection schedule. It also takes someone who knows how to build for this climate and these soils, and how to get a home permitted on rural and suburban lots across Western Washington.

One customer called Greg “a man of integrity.” Another wrote that he “does excellent work.”

Custom Homes around Kent

Greg works all over Kent — near Triangle Park, Russell Road Park and Clark Lake — and throughout King County.

Kent spreads from the Green River valley floor up onto the East Hill and West Hill plateaus in south King County. Kent is about 43 miles northeast of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area.

Western Washington buildings fight water more than anything — months of rain, moss on the roof, rot wherever wood stays wet, and soils that hold moisture. A building lasts when it sits on a proper foundation with drainage around it, is wrapped and flashed right, and is built to dry out.

Questions

Custom Homes in Kent: FAQs

Do you do custom homes in Kent, WA?

Yes. Kent is about 43 miles northeast of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles custom homes, lodge-style homes and craftsman builds there, and the estimate is free.

Do I need a permit for custom homes in Kent?

It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Kent's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.

What does a custom home cost to build?

Square footage, the complexity of the design, your finishes and the lot itself drive the price. A steep or wooded lot, a long driveway or soil that needs extra foundation work all add cost, while a simpler footprint saves money. Greg gives a free estimate and can show you where choices like timber accents or stonework change the number.

Can you build from plans I already have?

Yes. If you have plans from a designer or a plan you bought, Greg reviews them against your site and local permit requirements and suggests changes where they would save money or build better. If you are starting from scratch, he will help you develop the design.

What's the difference between a custom home and new home construction?

A custom home is designed around you, from the layout and style to every finish. New home construction covers proven plans like ramblers and two-stories built on your land. Greg builds both start to finish; the difference is how much of the design is one of a kind.

How involved will Greg be in my build?

Very. Greg's promise is that you work with him directly, with no middlemen. He prices your job, answers your questions and checks the work as it goes, and customers mention his integrity and that he follows through on what he promises.
