AT HAYNES HOMES, WE BELIEVE THAT BUILDING YOUR DREAM HOME SHOULD BE AN EXCITING AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS.
our approach
establish budget & Vision
Start by getting pre-qualified for a home loan to determine your budget. Then, choose the perfect location and floor plan that fits your lifestyle. Once selected, personalize your home with finishes and upgrades. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Purchase & Planning
Once your selections are finalized, we’ll draft detailed blueprints and contract documents to officially begin your home-building journey. You’ll receive access to our online portal, where you can track progress, view documents, and stay updated throughout the process.
Construction Begins
As you finalize selections, our team secures permits, creates schedules, and prepares for construction. Once building begins, you can monitor progress through our online portal. You'll also participate in two key walkthroughs: the Pre-Drywall Walkthrough and the Buyer Orientation, ensuring everything meets your expectations.
Finalizing & Closing
About 90 days after cabinet installation, we’ll set a closing date. Two weeks prior, you’ll complete a Buyer Orientation, where we’ll walk you through your new home, explain key functions, and address any final touch-ups. After the final inspection and closing, you’re officially a Haynes Homes homeowner!

Haynes Homes is truly above and beyond anything else I’ve seen offered in the Tri-City area, or Seattle/Tacoma area, even. The builder’s attention to detail in every square foot of their homes shows superb craftsmanship, and the unique “old world” style merged with modern design elements gives their properties a sophisticated elegance that elevates them miles above their competitors. I am highly impressed with Haynes Homes. Just simply a “class act” all the way around.
