In the heart of Berlin, Ohio, Kyle and Sadie Beachy have built more than a business—they’ve created a haven for homeowners seeking spaces that reflect their individuality and style. Together with their dedicated team at S. Flynn Design and Build, they have redefined what it means to create custom homes and remodels. Their unique selling points include a relentless focus on client satisfaction, a blend of timeless craftsmanship with modern innovation, and a commitment to creating homes that tell a story, making them stand out in the industry. At S. Flynn, the client is not just a part of the process but the heart of it, ensuring that their satisfaction is always the top priority.
Their journey began in 2012 when Sadie set out to establish her reputation in the industry after earning her degree in Interior Design. Her eye for detail and passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces quickly garnered attention. By 2018, her husband Kyle joined the venture with over a decade of experience as an aircraft mechanic. His technical expertise and methodical approach brought a new dimension to S. Flynn. His hands-on approach allowed for the construction and complete home remodel, allowing the company to take off and be united by a shared mission: “To create a beautiful home that reflects you and your family.”
Craftsmanship Rooted in Community
Operating in the heart of one of Ohio’s most significant Amish communities, S. Flynn draws on the area's legacy of exceptional craftsmanship. This close collaboration of artisans and contractors ensures that every project benefits from the quality of work and materials S. Flynn offers. This gives S. Flynn the ability to pride themselves on being ahead of the design curve when it comes to their projects, especially when it combines modern aesthetic skills with the enduring artisan skills of the Amish community craftsman.
A Team Effort
The success of S. Flynn is a testament to the dedication of its talented team. “We don’t do what’s easiest; we do what’s best,” Sadie says. This commitment extends to everyone they work with, from architects and contractors to artisans and suppliers. Their commitment to excellence and quality reassures clients that each project is meticulously planned and executed.
A Customer-Centric Approach
At S. Flynn, the client is at the heart of everything. Unlike other builders who prioritize efficiency, S. Flynn emphasizes the joy of the creative process. “Building a home can be an incredibly stressful project, but our view is that it should be fun, and you should enjoy it,” Sadie explains. This approach ensures that the customer is fully immersed in the process, feels valued and understood and that every home they build is as unique as its owner's.
From presenting the clients with a curated image package to exploring innovative trends and design elements, S. Flynn ensures that every detail is aligned with the client's vision. Whether it’s a modern lake house, a european farmhouse, or a bespoke office space, Sadie and her team's designs are tailored to fit the homeowners' personalities and the landscape they will be sculpted upon.
This in-depth discovery process allows Sadie, Kyle, and the rest of the team to delve into their client's lifestyles, preferences, dreams, and who they are on a fundamental scale while keeping their budget in mind. Throughout a series of meetings and discussions of floor plans, they can craft a vision board of images to ensure that the final design reflects the client's uniqueness.
Saving Marriages, One Home at a Time
One of the admirable aspects of S. Flynn’s work is their ability to harmonize different design preferences. When working with couples, they expertly blend their styles and create a combined space that feels cohesive and balanced. “We like to joke that we’re saving marriages one house at a time,” Kyle laughs. “But honestly, it’s true. We help couples find common ground, which makes the result so special.”
Prioritizing quality and personalization over efficiency and emptiness, ensuring each project stays on time, on budget, and true to its client's vision. As Sadie says, “Most custom builders bring on designers out of necessity; we are the opposite. Design has always been our starting point, and construction flows out of it.” This unwavering commitment to quality and personalization sets S. Flynn apart in the industry, instilling confidence in their clients and ensuring the reliability of their work.
Regarding S. Flynn’s statement on “Home Matters,” that is because of how customers, whoever it may be, your home matters. It is your safe place to retreat, relax, or recharge after the day. The design of a great home takes on many forms and can be adaptable for many events, such as hosting parties, sleepovers, or family gatherings. S. Flynn is there to ensure those opportunities can be available to you to enable their clients’ homes to work well for them and their guests.
Design Meets Innovation
When it comes to the approach of combining newly popularized trends with traditional craftsmanship, S. Flynn is ahead of the curve. Searching for the inspiration for these builds allows Sadie and her team to become immersed in the world of interior design. Whether online, social media, print, or travel, they bring those designs onto the scene, creating timeless, unique, custom spaces. Sadie’s design tips reflect this balance:
-
Mix hardware finishes: Combining metals adds depth and interest to any room, from lighting to plumbing fixtures.
-
Add charm: Incorporate unique details like plate rails on shelving or backsplashes that extend to the ceiling.
-
Celebrate natural wood: Use character-grade wood with visible knots, imperfections, and rich, warm stains.
-
Embrace brown tones: From cabinetry to wall colors, brown makes a versatile and inviting neutral comeback.
