A beautiful home and a build you can trust.You shouldn't have to choose.
Building a home is the biggest financial and emotional decision most families ever make. We treat it that way. Every Onyx & Oak home runs on one fixed price, a schedule you can see, and consistent photo and video updates in an online portal you can open 24/7, from design through final walkthrough.

Meet the builder
Trust is the whole job.
I know what it's like to hand the biggest project of your life to someone and just hope they've got it handled. Most of our clients are building from out of the area and can't drive by to check in. That trust is the whole job. It's why we hold a fixed price, keep a photo and video timeline you can open anytime, and answer the questions before you have to ask them. You should never have to wonder who is looking after your build or chase anyone to find out.
Clint DavenportFounder, Onyx & Oak Homes
“They treated our home like it was their own, paying close attention to every detail and going above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. The integrity they brought to the table is rare in this industry. They finished our custom home ahead of schedule and within budget, and the finished result speaks for itself.”
Building a home shouldn't feel like a gamble
You've probably heard the stories. The bid that was never real. The change orders that start once you're too deep in to walk away. The builder who stops answering the phone. Those stories are the reason Onyx & Oak runs the way it does: fixed-price contracts, transparent allowances, weekly communication, and a process built so you always know what happens next.
What you can count on
From the first conversation to the day you get the keys, three things stay constant: your budget, your visibility into the build, and communication you never have to chase.
Budget
A price you can plan your life around
Fixed-price contracts with transparent allowances. Every change is documented, priced, and approved by you before work begins. No surprises six months in.
Visibility
Watch your home come to life
A real-time photo and video timeline on every build. Whether you're ten minutes away or ten states away, you see it take shape day by day.
Communication
You never have to chase us
Weekly updates with photos, notes, and clear next steps, plus open conversations about cost and schedule. You always know where your home and your money stand.
The Onyx & Oak Process
From vision to reality
A clear, structured path designed to protect your investment and make building your home feel the way it should.
01
The conversation
We begin by listening: your goals, your land, your timeline, and whether a custom or semi-custom path is the best fit. An early conversation to make sure we're right for each other before anything else.
02
Planning & pre-construction
This is where successful builds are made. We refine the design, align expectations, and turn scope, selections, and costs into a transparent roadmap, so surprises get handled on paper instead of once building is underway.
03
Construction
Consistent on-site leadership and trusted local trade partners keep quality, accountability, and progress steady. Weekly updates and a photo timeline mean you always know where things stand.
04
Move-in & beyond
Before move-in, we walk the home together to confirm it meets our standards and yours. Our responsibility doesn't end at the keys: every home comes with a 12-month warranty and a builder who still answers the phone.
Models

Free Cost Guide
What does it really cost to build in North Idaho?
Straight answers on what a custom home really costs, allowances, and the line items that catch people off guard. Written by a builder, not a marketing department.
Building from out of state? That's our specialty.
Many of our clients build from hundreds of miles away, trusting us to deliver a home they can't drive by and check on.
The daily photo timeline, weekly updates, and a single point of accountability are what make that work. You'll never wonder what's happening on your land.
See the builds in motion
We document every build. Follow along for timelapses, walkthroughs, and the details that don't fit in a photo.

You don't have to be ready to build to work with us. These are the ways we help you plan, price, and pressure-test a project before you commit to one.
Pre-Construction Planning
Budget, design, and scope aligned before ground breaks, producing a number you can trust in writing before you commit.
