At Hayes Luxe Homes, we believe building a custom home should be a deeply personal experience—not one where you’re just another project in a large builder’s portfolio. As a boutique luxury builder, we intentionally accept only one or two custom homes at a time, allowing us to devote our full attention, care, and expertise to every detail of your home. We are perfectionists who take immense pride in our craftsmanship, treating every home as if we were building it for our own family. From the first sketch to the day we hand you the keys, you’ll receive the personalized service, uncompromising quality, and hands-on commitment your dream home deserves.
From single-room remodels to full-home transformations, custom new builds, and commercial, office, and medical spaces, Hayes Luxe Homes proudly serve Naples and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities with a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and meticulous attention to detail. Every project is thoughtfully managed to stay on schedule and within budget while enhancing the beauty, functionality, and value of your property.

Hayes Luxe Homes is a licensed and insured Florida General Contractor and family-owned company built on more than 40 years of experience in luxury construction and renovation.
Whether you’re looking to update a single room or undertake a complete overhaul, we bring the same level of dedication and attention to detail to our renovation projects as we do to our custom new homes. We understand the complexities of renovations, including working within existing structures and adhering to homeowner or condominium association guidelines.
Beyond residential projects, Hayes Luxe Homes brings our signature aesthetic to professional offices, medical clinics, retail spaces, and other dynamic environments. We design and renovate workspaces that seamlessly blend the Naples vibe with functionality, creating inviting atmospheres for clients, patients, staff, and professionals alike. Our commercial spaces reflect sophistication, comfort, and the vibrant energy of Naples.
One of the signature services that sets Hayes Luxe Homes apart is our complimentary design guidance, material coordination, and concept design renderings.
We believe every custom home deserves a thoughtful, cohesive design—not the added expense of hiring a separate interior designer. That’s why every Hayes Luxe Homes client receives personalized design assistance throughout the entire process.
We create concept design renderings that allow you to visualize your future home before construction begins, giving you confidence that every space reflects your vision. From flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, paint colors, and architectural finishes, we carefully coordinate every selection to create a timeless, luxurious home tailored specifically to your lifestyle.
This Gulf Shore Drive kitchen gets a new coastal dream makeover. In this design plan, we replaced all of the dated cabinetry, visually opening the width of the space with stunning quartz stone countertops and a full-height backsplash, elevated by upper cabinets with elegant vertical fluted glass doors. The over-the-range microwave was removed and replaced with a custom stove vent finished in warm-white Venetian plaster, creating a softer, elevated, luxe focal point. Design by Penelope Hayes.

Our History
Long before Hayes Luxe Homes was established, Burt and Penelope Hayes built impressive careers that led them to this dynamic partnership today. Burt’s journey into construction began at just 12 years old in Charlotte, North Carolina, working for a neighbor’s construction company where he learned the fundamentals of craftsmanship, discipline, and building both homes and commercial spaces with integrity. As a teenager and young adult, he further refined his skills working alongside his uncle throughout Boone and Blowing Rock constructing ultra-luxury log homes and mountain chalets inspired by the timeless architecture of the Blue Ridge Mountains. These extraordinary residences featured soaring timber beams, hand-laid stone fireplaces, artisan woodwork, expansive porches, and layered natural materials — the kind of elevated mountain homes admired throughout the luxury markets of Blue Ridge, Georgia and the Carolina Highlands. It was during these formative years that Burt developed his deep appreciation for homes that feel both architecturally striking and naturally rooted in their surroundings.
A graduate of The Citadel Military College in Charleston, South Carolina, Burt combined his disciplined leadership background with years of hands-on building experience as he launched his own construction and development business in Charlotte, North Carolina. There, he successfully developed, built, and sold a subdivision of luxury speculative homes averaging more than 5,500 square feet, serving as developer, builder, and visionary behind each residence. His ability to unite craftsmanship, architectural presence, and market insight quickly distinguished his work in the luxury home sector.
After Burt met his wife Penelope, the couple relocated to Charleston — a city that already felt like home to Burt through his years at college and his longstanding connection to the Lowcountry. There, Burt founded Charleston Street Building & Restoration, a renovation and restoration company known for elevating Southern charm to pristine elegance. Specializing in multimillion-dollar historic and luxury properties, the company became recognized for restoring homes with extraordinary attention to detail, preserving historic character while introducing refined modern sophistication. Burt’s reputation for quality craftsmanship and leadership later led to his recruitment as a project manager at the iconic luxury community of Alys Beach, Florida. In 2018, Burt Hayes was honored as the sole recipient of “The Alys Award” — a prestigious recognition awarded to just one individual each year across the entire Alys Beach community, including the construction division, hospitality teams, restaurants, resort operations, housekeeping, maintenance, and hotel staff — for exemplifying the community’s core values of Accountability, Commitment, Integrity, Passion, Respect, and Unity.
Following his time on the Emerald Coast, Burt relocated to Naples, Florida, where he further established himself within one of the country’s most competitive luxury home markets. Prior to founding Hayes Luxe Homes, he served as a Project Executive for premier high-end custom home builders, overseeing the construction of extraordinary waterfront and estate residences valued up to $30 million. Through years of experience in Naples, Burt developed an in-depth understanding of the region’s luxury clientele, architectural preferences, coastal construction standards, and elevated design expectations — expertise that now forms the foundation of Hayes Luxe Homes.
Penelope Hayes brings a uniquely creative and multifaceted background to Hayes Luxe Homes. Her early career included work in interior design for builders in Canada, where she developed a sophisticated understanding of luxury finishes, spatial flow, and the emotional experience of a home. She later built a highly successful career in publicity and branding, representing numerous stars from ABC’s The Bachelor franchise and other public figures while helping shape public image, media presence, and luxury lifestyle branding. Her expertise in visual presentation, storytelling, and aspirational branding naturally evolved into an on-camera television career, where she worked as a host and popular culture analyst. Through years immersed in luxury aesthetics, media, and design-forward branding, Penelope cultivated an exceptional eye for atmosphere, refinement, and the details that transform a house into an experience.
Today, Penelope serves as the design lead for Hayes Luxe Homes, blending her background in interior design, branding, and luxury lifestyle aesthetics with Burt’s decades of construction expertise. Together, they bring an uncommon depth of experience across multiple architectural styles, luxury materials, and elevated design aesthetics. From timeless coastal elegance to tranquil organic warmth, and from mountain-inspired craftsmanship to modern integrated spaces, Burt and Penelope share a rare ability to envision a home that is perfect for you.
