Your home is likely the largest purchase you will make. It is an investment, but more than that, it is an emotional and exciting process that unfolds before your eyes. You want the best experience possible in your journey and need to partner with an experienced, professional building company. One who will offer a comprehensive warranty and who will facilitate and honor that warranty. One who can guide you along your journey to “Build your happy”.

Owners Andy Beaird and Brad Hartman are generational entrepreneurs and builders. They have each owned their own companies, worked with large and small building companies, and between them, have built thousands of dream homes for families all over North Carolina. Their building philosophy is simple, they never build a home they wouldn’t live in themselves. They are passionate about the art and science of home building and understand that "reputation matters," so they treat each home and each customer with respect and give them the priority they deserve. This, combined with their strong partnerships with the best subcontractors and vendors in the industry, ensure that they can create the perfect home to fit your budget and lifestyle.

Andy and Brad both have extensive knowledge of - and decades of experience in - the regional home building industry. Together, they are building homes in a variety of styles and price points in Raleigh, Wake Forest, Louisburg and Wilson area communities. A tribute to Andy's father, Ken Harvey Homes is focused on building a stellar reputation for homes that last. Additionally, the Ken Harvey Homes team is adding community development, remodeling, and tiny homes to their impressive repertoire. Find out today how you can build your happy with Ken Harvey Homes!
