Josh can design & price your high quality home with 3D walk-through's all without leaving the house! It's as easy as sending you an invite that automatically connects us!
Second generation builder, Josh Doyle has been immersed in the world of home construction throughout his life. Growing up on job sites and learning from his father, a seasoned industry veteran, Josh developed a passion for designing and building homes at a young age. After graduating from Ohio State University with a degree in Finance, he worked for his father’s company in Lima, Ohio, throughout his childhood and college years.
Josh joined Owens Corning’s Financial Leadership Program. This program provided him with valuable insights into running a successful business, emphasizing customer-inspired solutions while maintaining strong cost accounting controls and fiscal responsibility within the organization. After three years at Owens Corning, Josh decided to return to his roots designing and building true custom homes. Within his first year in business, he was recognized by the renowned national Home Builder Magazine as a “Home Builder 2.0,” one of the nation’s most innovative builders.
Now, with over 1,200 custom-designed and built homes, and 15+ years in business, Homes by Josh Doyle continues to be recognized as one of the top custom home builders in Ohio (by Builder Digest AND the Toledo HBA). The true highlight comes from the overwhelming positive reviews received from customers. These reviews express gratitude for their customer-focused approach, which has been instrumental in building strong relationships with them.
"I'm very proud of my family of professionals here at HbJD, and also, that we still treat every single home we build like a true custom home, designed or modified by myself and built in a 3D model before a shovel ever touches the ground. We are not perfect, but every day we work hard to strive to be better."
Feeling incredibly grateful and blessed.
Frequently asked
questions
Are there any limits in designing a home?
Absolutely not. We will not sacrifice structural quality and energy efficiency, but there are really no limits. We discourage people from overly expensive options, but that’s only a deterrent if they’re trying to stay within a budget.
What is the price range of your homes?
Our goal is to design and build homes for customers. We treat customers as more than just transactions. The most important aspect is designing homes that fit their budget without compromising quality or cost.
What should I look for in a builder?
At the end of the day you’re with a builder for a year. You’re with your house for the rest of your life. So what really matters is the design, layout, and the quality of the materials and energy efficiency.
Do we have to start with your floorplans?
Short answer, no. Production builders typically require you to choose a floorplan and allow only minor modifications. On the other hand, we’re an all-in-one design and build company that designs and builds your home from scratch to your wants, needs, and budget.
Where can I find your floorplans?
Meet with us in-person or virtually! I’m hesitant to share our best work publicly as I’ve dedicated my entire life to designing homes but I'm more than happy to discuss designing and building a true custom home that fits your wants, needs and lifestyle.
Is there a better time to build?
There isn't a better time of year to build. The best time to build is when you're ready. Waiting can have disadvantages like potentially higher interest rates, cost of materials rising, and the labor pool being less available.
What are your favorite homes to design?
I love ranches. Designed correctly, they’re more efficient in heating and cooling. You can utilize the basement for future finishing with natural light and nearly double your house’s size. We build to last a lifetime, and ranches allow generations to live in them.
Do you have a minimum size you'll build?
We don't have a minimum size, but the bank financing the home might. We will design the home with the same quality, structure, and energy efficiency, whether it’s a one-room house, barndominium, estate home or any other type of home
How long does a build take?
We typically expect 6-8 months from dig to completion. However, there are a lot of factors that affect that. In reality, building the same house can take 2-3 months longer in one county due to regulations and building departments.
What are some red flags when looking for land?
If you're building on a rural lot you need to make sure it's not in a floodplain and that you don't build too far back off the road. If you're building in a subdivision you want to be aware of the final lots and corner lots. Best advice is to do your research.
