Meet Jonathan Andrews, founder of Hornet Homes.
Beautiful homes. Clear pricing.
A process that puts your family first.
Custom home building is one of the biggest decisions a family will ever make. Here’s how we make sure it’s also one of the best.
Beautiful homes, built with care
Every home we build reflects the family who will live in it. Our floor plans are starting points — we tailor each one to your land, your routines, and the way your family actually lives.
Clear, upfront pricing
You should know what your home will cost before you commit to building it. We provide transparent pricing from day one, so there are no runaway costs and no surprises along the way.
A process that puts you first
Your goals and dreams are the starting point for everything we build. From the first conversation to handing you the keys, you’re never guessing what’s next — we walk you through every step.
I’m a husband and father of four, raising my family here in the Triangle.
I understand how much a home really means. It’s where life happens — where kids grow up, where families gather, where memories get made. When you build a custom home with Hornet, you’re not just hiring a contractor. You’re hiring someone who knows what’s at stake.
I started Hornet Homes because I’d watched too many friends get burned by builders who treated the process as a transaction. Surprise costs. Vague timelines. Decisions made for the builder’s convenience, not the family’s life. That’s not how it should work — and that’s not how we work.
We’re a small, intentional team. That’s by design. You’ll know your builder by name. Your questions get answered by the people actually building your home. And when you’re ready to talk through what’s possible, we’ll walk through it together.
