Building your dream home can feel overwhelming, whether you’re starting from the ground up or renovating a space to make it your own. It takes the right team to not only bring your vision to life but to create a place that feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely yours. That’s where Woodward Homes comes in. Founded by husband-and-wife team Mike and Elizabeth Jakubowski, this family business combines expert construction with thoughtful design services, making them the perfect partners to transform a house into the home you’ve always imagined.
“After working for other builders and architects for 15 years, we decided to branch out and give it a shot in our own business,” Mike explains. “During our time at our previous companies, we learned valuable lessons on what to do, but also just as importantly, what not to do. Our vision has always been clear: build relationships and grow from building a solid reputation while focusing on customer service and not the bottom line. “
Together, Mike and Elizabeth bring more than 35 years of combined experience, with a portfolio that spans everything from intimate kitchen remodels to multi-million-dollar custom homes. Regardless of the project’s scale or scope, they approach each one with the same level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and genuine care, qualities that often get lost with larger builders.
“We're a small family-owned company without all the red tape and rules of larger builders,” Mike says. “We can be very flexible before, during, and after construction with changes, etc. We live in Brentwood and do most of our work here, and love our community.”
From complete home renovations and custom new builds to kitchen and bathroom remodels, screened porches, and outdoor living spaces, Woodward Homes offers a full spectrum of construction services. They’re able to take on projects of any scale and work closely with clients to craft creative, functional plans that reflect each homeowner’s unique vision. Woodward Designs also provides thoughtfully crafted floor plans available for purchase online, making it easier than ever to bring dream homes to life.
At the heart of every project, however, are the relationships they’ve built with their clients. Mike and Elizabeth emphasize collaboration just as much as craftsmanship, taking time to truly listen to the homeowners and understanding what they need most. Their process isn’t just about creating beautiful spaces; it’s about creating homes that reflect the people inside the house.
“More than anything, we love working with good people,” Mike says. “When we have been recommended by their family or friends and there is a level of trust and confidence in us, it makes everything that much better.”
The balance of expertise and personal connection is what has made Woodward Homes stand out in the community. Their reputation has grown not just through the quality of their work, but through the trust they’ve created with clients, which often leads to repeat projects and word-of-mouth referrals. For Mike and Elizabeth, each home is more than a project on paper; it’s a partnership rooted in care, integrity, and respect for the people they work with.
As the holiday season approaches, Mike advises against starting a kitchen remodel during this busy time of year. Instead, he notes that it’s common this late in the year for outdoor projects, such as updating windows and doors, or adding porches, decks, and screened-in spaces.
As the year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to start envisioning the changes you want to bring to your home in 2026. Whether it’s a full renovation, a new build, or a small project that makes daily life more comfortable, Woodward Homes is ready to turn these dreams into reality.
