Business Details
Trusted Home Builders in Lafayette, LA
Shivers Brothers Construction was founded on a legacy of craftsmanship and client trust. With over two decades of hands-on experience, Stephen Jr. and Bailey Shivers lead our team, combining their expertise in custom home design and construction to deliver affordable, high-quality results. Born into a family of builders, we spent our formative years learning every aspect of the trade from our father's subcontractors before attending Ole Miss and taking leadership roles in the family business. Our approach prioritizes understanding client needs during major life transitions, whether selling an existing property or building a dream home. Stephen Jr.'s attention to unique design details complements Bailey's innovative development vision, ensuring every project reflects both technical excellence and creative integrity.Our team has rebuilt communities along the Mississippi Gulf Coast following natural disasters and now focuses on serving Acadiana, Shreveport, and Gulf Coast regions while preparing to expand into new markets. We maintain deep community ties through our local residences, with Bailey raising his family in our core development area for over a decade and Stephen Jr. relocating to Lafayette in 2011 to establish our central operations. Our business structure includes multiple LLCs to better serve Louisiana and Mississippi markets, always maintaining the family values that have defined three generations of Shivers builders.
