Since 1993, Payne & Payne Builders has established itself as a premier custom home builder in Northeast Ohio. Founded by F. Michael Payne during a recession, our company began with foundational projects like porch construction and brick patios before evolving into a full-service custom home builder. As a family-owned business spanning two generations, we prioritize treating every client like family and constructing homes to the same exacting standards we would apply to our own properties. Our nationally award-winning business practices and partnerships with land developers enable us to offer exclusive properties and competitive pricing.With over 30 years of combined experience, our team of architects, designers, and project managers delivers exceptional craftsmanship through a proven four-step process encompassing design, pre-construction, construction, and post-warranty support. We maintain industry leadership through innovative design solutions, including hand-sketch architectural plans and 3D interior visualization tools. Our commitment to quality extends beyond construction, as we aim to remain lifelong resources for homeowners long after project completion.
