Hayes Luxe Homes

At Hayes Luxe Homes, we specialize in crafting and transforming homes that embody the beauty and character of Naples and the storied luxury of South Florida.

Led by Burt and Penelope Hayes, our boutique approach centers on a hands-on, highly personalized home-building process. Because we are intentionally selective in the number of projects we take on, we are able to stay deeply involved in every build, maintain clear communication, and offer efficient, reasonable pricing without compromising quality. Clients work directly with us throughout the process—not through layers of staff—resulting in smoother projects, fewer surprises, and consistently happy homeowners.

We collaborate with a carefully selected group of skilled trades and remain closely engaged throughout the build to ensure details are executed as intended. This approach supports consistent quality, thoughtful problem-solving, and a finished home that reflects a high level of care from start to finish.

Hayes Luxe Homes is proud to announce our inclusion in the esteemed list of “Top Custom & Luxury Home Builders in Naples, Florida,” as featured by The Chang Luxury Team, Naples, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. Recognized for our commitment to authentic luxury and architectural excellence, we are honored to be acknowledged alongside other distinguished builders in the region.

Burt Hayes, President of Hayes Luxe Homes and a graduate of The Citadel Military College in Charleston, South Carolina, brings over 30 years of hands-on expertise in residential construction, luxury homebuilding, and high-end renovations.

Since entering the Naples market in 2019, Burt has built a reputation for excellence and strong relationships with trusted trades and subcontractors. These partnerships allow him to secure competitive pricing, maintain smooth scheduling, and deliver an elevated client experience.

While Burt’s experience is strong in managing ultra-luxury residences—including custom estates and homes in the multi-million-dollar range—he proudly brings the same level of attention and quality to homes of all values, including charming mid-market houses, townhomes, and condos.

One of Burt’s most notable career accomplishments is his role in the whole-town build of Alys Beach, Florida, where he was honored with The Alys Award for exemplifying the community’s core values of Accountability, Commitment, Integrity, Passion, Respect, and Unity. Before relocating to Naples, he co-owned a firm recognized as a Top Three Builder in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he served as builder and developer of custom and spec homes.

Today, as co-owner of Hayes Luxe Homes, Burt ensures that every project—large or small, remodel or new build—is completed to an exceptional standard and feels beautifully personal.

Penelope Hayes, Vice President of Hayes Luxe Homes, handles project management, estimating, material procurement, and client relations—ensuring every client experiences clear communication, a smooth process, and a beautifully executed project.

One of her roles is the curation of materials, fixtures, and finishes. Penelope’s material selection philosophy is rooted in authenticity rather than trends. She believes exceptional homes begin with materials that are artisan-made and that have traceable origin and story. To that end, she sources truly custom products, prioritizing American-made materials whenever possible, while also thoughtfully importing from regions and countries renowned for mastery of a particular craft or material.

Penelope brings valuable experience to the homebuilding process, ensuring clients feel supported, inspired, and confident at every step.

Before co-founding Hayes Luxe Homes, she built a career as a television host for an ABC News affiliate and appeared on The Dr. Phil Show and other national platforms.
