“Our homebuilding process is very customized and fun,” sales executive Sierra Maykus said. “It’s likely the biggest purchase of a client’s life, so we want it to be enjoyable and stress-free.”
Founded over 60 years ago by Frank Maykus, the family business continues to uphold a legacy of excellence. For granddaughter Sierra Maykus, joining the company wasn’t something she envisioned for herself growing up. However, in 2020, the pandemic presented an unexpected opportunity for her to make a career change. Leaving behind her role as a teacher and coach, she decided to step into the world of homebuilding and discovered a newfound passion.
“Looking back, I'm so glad I switched careers. Not everyone has a family business, so why waste this opportunity,” Maykus said.
At Maykus Homes, the team guides clients through every stage of the design process. One of their most effective strategies is encouraging clients to share their vision through visual tools, such as Pinterest boards and photos.
“We encourage people to start an album of inspiration photos. When they show me a particular photo, I ask what they like about it. It’s helpful,” Maykus said. “We always tell clients, ‘If you love an idea, do it.’ This is a custom home, and we don’t want them to look back and regret not adding a specific feature.”
Building a custom home is a deeply personal process, and Maykus Homes is dedicated to ensuring clients feel supported through open communication and attention to detail. Many clients return to build additional homes or recommend Maykus Homes to friends and family, a testament to their satisfaction.
“We have a lot of repeat customers,” Maykus said. “Older clients’ children will build with us. Some clients are building their second or third house with us. People are very happy.”
A defining feature of Maykus Homes is their commitment to quality and efficiency. Every home is built with energy-saving insulation that fully encapsulates the structure, keeping utility bills low and indoor temperatures consistent. This attention to durability ensures that each home is as functional as it is beautiful.
“We say our homes are built like Yeti coolers. If it's freezing outside, it will still be cozy inside. If it’s hot outside, the house will feel cool,” Maykus said. “We pride ourselves on the quality of our homes. They’ll stand the test of time, and that's really important to us.”
For Maykus, the true reward is creating spaces where families can make lasting memories.
“It is so rewarding to provide a home for people to bring their first baby or their grandkids to. A home is so special,” Maykus said. “Building them makes us happy, and hopefully we can do that for many years.”
As the company looks to the future, Maykus Homes remains steadfast in its mission to focus on exceptional service and timeless design while honoring its family roots. By prioritizing each client's unique needs, Maykus Homes remains a trusted partner for those ready to make their dreams a reality.
