Our philosophy is simple...

  • treat a client's home no differently than our own
  • offer the highest quality options within a client's budget
  • let our work speak for itself (our satisfied clients do!)
  • build more than a home, build lasting friendships

Mike Kennedy, Owner/Builder

Mike Kennedy has been a home builder for 13 years. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the East Central Illinois Home Builders Association.

Mike oversees all aspects of Kennedy Builders construction. He enjoys the challenge of helping clients envision the finished 3-dimensional product.  He makes this happen, in part, by staying informed about the latest trends in construction and working to accommodate clients' wishes.

Today that means details like Energy Star rated homes, Quartz counter tops, exotic hardwood flooring, wider baseboard & window trim, bigger  windows & doors, and more garage space.

After more than a dozen years in construction, Mike still takes great satisfaction in the reactions of clients as they take possession of their new home.  Mike is a licensed realtor at Keller Williams Realty and can assist with selling your current home during the building process.

Mike earned his degree in Agricultural Economics from the University of Illinois in 1994.
