Our Story

Welcome to Goodknight Design Home!

We are Bob and Chris Goodknight — happily married 34 years with a passion for creating beautiful, timeless homes. Chris, a lifelong designer, and Bob, now “Bob the Builder,” have combined their talents to build custom speculation homes focused on family, lifestyle, and lasting value. In July of 2025, our current home won all eight awards in our price category in the Grand Tour of Homes.

We believe home is where your story begins — let us help you start the next chapter.

We don’t just build houses — we build lifelong memories.

Our mission is rooted in faith, integrity, and a heartfelt desire to serve others. Every home we build is designed for timeless beauty, smart living, and instant value.

We aim to make the building process joyful, stress-free, and even fun —kind of like celebrating on your own/your child’s wedding day or opening presents on Christmas morning!

Built on Faith. Crafted With Heart.
