Custom home builds
Fully custom homes designed around how you actually live, built by our own crews from site work to move-in day.
Nicholasville is straight up US 27 from Lancaster, across the Kentucky River in Jessamine County. Whitis Contracting builds custom homes, additions and remodels here, from new houses on county acreage to updates on homes in town. We are a family-owned builder with more than 50 years in the family, and our own crews do the work.
Nicholasville is the Jessamine County seat and the 10th-largest city in Kentucky, and it has grown more than 400 percent since 1970. That growth means two kinds of projects. Families on newer subdivision lots want an addition, a finished space or a kitchen that fits how they live. Families looking for more room head south of town toward the river, where there is still acreage for a custom home, a barndominium or a pole barn. Coming from the south along US 27, past Camp Nelson National Cemetery, that side of the county is an easy drive for our crews.
From a full custom home on open acreage to a kitchen you have been picturing for years, here is what we take on in Nicholasville and the surrounding area.

Clearing, grading, and prepping your property so nothing holds up your timeline.
Building in your own community changes how you work. There is no hiding behind a call center or a schedule that puts you last because you are far away.
Inside city limits, the City of Nicholasville Planning and Zoning office handles new construction. For unincorporated Jessamine County, permits run through the Jessamine County and City of Wilmore Joint Planning Department. We confirm which applies before pricing.
County lots without sewer need a septic system permitted through the local health department, starting with a site and soil evaluation.
A clear, fixed price up front, so your budget holds from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.
Word travels fast in a town this size. Every build here either earns us the next one or costs us it.
We build across Nicholasville and the surrounding communities in Jessamine County, and travel throughout Central Kentucky from our shop in Danville.
