For over half a century, Maykus Homes has been a name synonymous with quality and community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Founded by Frank Maykus in the 1970s, the company has evolved through three generations, maintaining a commitment to excellence and local engagement.

Today, under the leadership of Eason Maykus, the family business continues to thrive, with various family members playing integral roles.

“Having my name on a sign or on a building, there's a whole new aspect of pride and wanting to do the right thing and making sure people are happy,” Realtor Sierra Maykus said. “Especially with my dad passing away last year, there is another element of carrying on what he started and making sure we do a good job.”

One distinguishing factor of Maykus Homes is their dual role as both builders and developers. This capability allows them to control every aspect of their projects, from purchasing raw land to constructing the final homes. This approach gives Maykus Homes a competitive edge and ensures a consistent vision throughout the development process.

“We pride ourselves on what's behind the walls and the quality of the homes,” Sierra Maykus said. “We have a lot of second-generation families. I get people calling, saying, ‘Your dad built my house 20 years ago, and I’m interested in another community you have now.’ That says a lot about the impact we’ve made.”

The company’s connection to the community extends beyond building homes. The Maykus family is actively involved in local organizations such as the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce, where they participate in events like the annual membership drive and the spooky soiree, a Halloween-themed fundraiser. Eason Maykus also served as the president of the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association.

Maykus Homes has several upcoming developments. In Grapevine, they are developing Dove Station, Ferguson Place, Tillery Commons and The Grove. Homes in these communities are currently under construction and will be available around the same timeframe.

The personal stories behind Maykus Homes reveal the heart and soul of the business. Sierra Maykus said she visited a preowned Maykus home where the owners had framed the original floor plan signed by Kosse Maykus.

“It was the coolest thing I've ever seen,” Sierra Maykus said. “It means a lot to us and our clients.”

As Maykus Homes continues to develop and build new communities, their legacy of quality craftsmanship and community engagement remains unwavering. Their story is one of family, dedication and a commitment to making a lasting impact on the communities they serve.
