For more than 40 years, Kevco Builders has helped shape the landscape of Lake County, building more than just homes. They have built long-term relationships rooted in trust and consistency.

Under the leadership of President Ian Kaneshige, the company continues to stand out as one of the area’s most recognized and award-winning custom home builders. While accolades have followed, Kevco’s focus remains on the experience behind each project and the people it serves.

The company’s approach is built around a structured four-step process — conceptualize, coordinate, construct and customer service — designed to guide homeowners from initial ideas to final walkthrough. From early design conversations to the finishing details, Kevco emphasizes communication and transparency, ensuring clients remain involved throughout the process.

That consistency has led to one of the company’s strongest indicators of success: referrals. A majority of Kevco’s projects come directly from past clients, many of whom return for additional builds or recommend the company to family and friends.

Innovation, Integrity and Excellence remain at the core of the business, supported by a team that works closely with trusted trade partners to deliver high-quality results. At the same time, Kevco continues to invest in the community by supporting initiatives such as the MIKE Endowment and Habitat for Humanity.

For Kevco, success isn’t measured by the number of homes built, but by the lasting impact each project leaves behind, both for the homeowner and the community.
