"I cannot say enough about how great my experience was building my home, which I love, with RyKar homes. From the builder to the realtor and the construction supervisor, you guys are hands down best! I would definitely recommend working with these guys!"


- Maranda Lindsey

"Ryan was a pleasure to work with and brought our older home into 2018! We had a big remodel that involved many structural changes and the whole project was done in 3 1/2 weeks! Couldn't be happier with the final outcome and the whole process."

—Becky McKeever Travenski
"Thank you so much Ryan for turning our 1982 eye sore into a beautiful kitchen. We love it so much!! And thank you for making it so easy on us. People always complain about how long renovations take. This renovation was so easy and fast, and I say even after we started back to school in the middle of it all. The craftsmen that worked on the floors, walls, everything were very professional and it shows. I can't thank you enough or recommend you more." 

—Michelle Cook
"I worked with RyKar Homes on my recent kitchen remodel. The demo and cabinet installation were complete in less then two days, making the remodel seamless and easy."

—Sarah Glick
​"I’m can’t stress enough what a pleasure it was working with RyKar Homes and how elated we are with how our new construction craftsman style home turned out! Coming off a poor experience with a previous builder, Ryan, simply put, went above and beyond our expectations during the entire purchase process. He is very prideful at the product he is turning over to his customers, ensuring they are educated on the home, ensuring the house is perfect and well, downright making you feel like family. The attention to detail is almost mind boggling. Almost a week after closing, we still have smiles ear to ear about our decision to go with Ryan and this specific home. I’d recommend my new friends over at RyKar enthusiastically, singing praises."

—Mike and Goldyn
"I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Rykar Homes. My wife and I bought a home from them and closed the end of April. We absolutely love our new home and all of our interactions with Ryan, as well as his contractor, Charlie. Both have been extremely helpful with any and all questions we've had since moving in and are always willing to go the extra mile for us to help with any questions. If you're in the market for a new home, I feel confident saying Rykar Homes would be a wise investment."

—Mike McCarthy
"I don’t normally write reviews however, RyKar Homes is just so much better than the other builders you are used to, that I had to share. From the first time you meet Ryan and Karen you will understand what I mean. They are so easy going, friendly, and truly want to ensure you get what you are looking for. I never felt pressured and if there is something that needs extra attention, they are happy to do it as quickly as possible. Their personal touch and customer service alone are enough to write a long review, but when you walk into one of their houses, you will instantly realize this is a cut above and not one of those mass-produced homes. Their attention to detail and pursuit of excellence shines through every one of their finished homes. If you are in the market for a new home, do yourself a favor and call RyKar Homes, you will be very glad you did. Thank you, Ryan and Karen for having the courage to do it differently, for actually putting the customer first, and building a better product, you guys are amazing."

—Ed Davis
"It is very clear RyKar Homes values their customers and takes much pride in the quality of workmanship that goes into their homes. Having worked with various builders over the past 15 years, I have consistantly found Ryan and the team at RyKar Homes to delivery high quality craftsmanship with attention to detail. Their detail at delivery is the best I have seen, and the team really goes above and beyond for their customers. Every question and concern is taken seriously and handled promptly, no matter how small. The friendly and professional team at RyKar Homes makes the building process smooth and painless. RyKar Homes builds excellent quality homes at a great price, and we look forward to continuing our working relationship with Ryan and his team well into the future."

"In September, we purchased a newly-constructed RyKar home on Faires Ave in Belmont. When we started the process of looking for a residence, we were reticent to explore the prospect of a new home because of all the variables involved. We were fortunate to discover RyKar Homes, but once we did the arduous process of purchasing a new home could not have been more assuring and rewarding. 
Ryan clearly has the knowledge of someone who has gained significant experience in the industry, but he also understands the importance of cultivating direct relationships with new home buyers. His level of service and feedback far transcend what even an informed buyer would expect from a homebuilder. Moreover, and equally as important, his level of service post purchase is impressive. You can tell that he assumes complete ownership of each home that RyKar constructs and that nothing is right until the buyer is entirely satisfied. As an example, he personally conducted the pre and final walk-throughs, and he has been personally involved every step of the way post purchase in fielding questions and seeing through minor tweaks to the property to dial it in to our specific needs and meet our expectations. 
We purposely posted this review two months after our purchase to make certain that the above was absolutely the case. We have been nothing but pleased, and feel validated in our purchase of a RyKar built home."

—The Rogers
"I cannot say enough good things about RyKar!! Ryan & Charlie were a joy to work with and made the home building process so smooth, stress-free and fun!! Since we were moving from out of state, they both went above and beyond - sending us (at minimum) weekly emails with pictures and updates, graciously putting up with all my questions, meeting us at the house for drop in visits, and getting our input on essentially every decision. They have played with our two young sons on several occasions while we were visiting during the building process and our kids love them! These guys and their families have absolutely become part of our family. Here we are almost 6 months in to living in our new home and I’m just as thrilled today as I was the first day we signed the contract to build. I would (and emphatically do!) recommend them to anyone wanting to build a home in the Charlotte area. They are, without question, the BEST!!"

—The Derdens
"Our experience with Rykar Homes was absolutely refreshing! This being our 4th home buying experience and our third build, we were surprised this was the first time we really felt heard. We were used to hearing ‘We may not be able to do that’, this time most often we heard ‘Lets figure out how we can do that’, it was delightful to say the least. The RyKar Homes family was extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, helpful and easy to work with. Building with Ryan and Charlie, the pride they take and the genuine heartfelt happiness they had along with us as our home was being built was palpable. 6 months later I can say, without a doubt, our home was built with the highest level of attentiveness and longevity."



—Fay-Ann Parlier

"We have been in our Rykar home for a little over 8 months now and we absolutely love it! Ryan and his team went above and beyond to help us with all of our needs on our home. They are truly a wonderful company and it felt like they were part of our family for the few months it took to build. We had a very positive experience from start to finish. Ryan was exceptional at helping us with the design of the home. His knowledge of design really put my wife and I at ease throughout the process.

I want to say a few words about our Project Manger, Charlie. To say he was great would truly be an understatement. He was very patient with us with all of our questions and he really knew his stuff and was on top of the entire project from the first day we met him on our empty lot. He is such a great person to work with and made the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end.

If you are interested in building a home and you want a first class builder who pride themselves in building you a great home, please check out Ryan and his team at Rykar Homes!"


—Kevin Williams

Both Ryan and Charlie Could not have been easier and more professional to deal with.  My house is beautiful, expert craftsmanship and had zero issues durning the entire process.  Truly a flawless process which is unheard of these days.  I highly recommend them.....and my house was done earlier then initially projected.


—Bill Wilson

Absolutely awesome experience.


My wife and I started a couple years back with plans to build our last home to spend the rest of our lives in. We were blessed when a good friend sold us vacant property to build on. Being in real estate

 and an appraiser for over 40 years, I had high expectations when deciding who would be the builder. A few years back when I was appraising a proposed new home, I noticed that the builder had provided details of very good quality features. I watched as the

 home was being built and provided draw inspections for the bank that was financing the build. I later completed the final inspection for the lender and was very impressed with the quality of materials and workmanship that went into the home. So, when it came

 time to select our builder, Rykar was the first builder that came to mind.


Ryan met us at his office, and we discussed plans that we were interested in. We both felt very comfortable talking with Ryan and just had this feeling that he was very honest and someone we could trust

 with our future dream home. We met a second time at his office to make our selections right there at his office. He was very helpful and knowledgeable when making our choices for flooring, lighting, trim, and other building components. Through all the steps

 of the building process, we found Ryan and his foreman Charlie were great to work with. We recommend Rykar Homes to anyone looking to build their new home.

"Quality. Professional. Timely. Integrity. Accessible. Fun. Enjoyable.

These are just a few words to describe the experience my wife and I had with Rykar Homes during the construction of our forever home. I have known owner Ryan Roche professionally for more than 14 years and from day one, he has been a man of great integrity and a man of prestige professionalism.  When my wife and I decided to build a home, we spoke with other builders who were close friends but we simply didn't feel it was the right decision. It was during this time I spoke with Ryan about the new Longview House plan that he released on our wedding anniversary. During our first consultation with my wife and I, Ryan began to show us what he could do. He understood the budget and met our desires with "I can do that." From day 1, there was NEVER an ounce of doubt. We knew we had made the right decision. During the building process, Charlie was equally as fun to work with as Ryan. He is detailed. Any time I called with a question about something, Charlie already knew what I was calling about and had details of when things were being done. He was accessible for ANY questions even if it was the weekend. Simply put, I feel like Charlie became a part of our family during this process. The best part of it all is at the end of the build, there was no "surprise" money due. Here we are six months later, sitting in our stunningly beautiful home AMAZED at what we have.
From my experience, I have seen the pressure building a home can be on a marriage/couple. That pressure does not exist with Rykar Homes. It's a fun and enjoyable experience full of excitement. You could use other builders but I can assure you, the Rykar experience is the right experience and the right choice."I cannot say enough good things about RyKar!!

Our meeting yesterday was absolutely fantastic.
My oldest sister tagged along with me for the meeting.  
She now can appreciate why I constantly compliment Rykar Homes.
I have always been unequivocally sold on Rykar Homes. 
However, in the very beginning I wasn't 100% sold about the downsizing.
I am now sold!
Charlie you hit the ball out of the park.
You really made the meeting seamless. 
Each of you bring a different flavor to the table.  
It's no wonder you are such a brilliant team. "Los Magnificos tres"
However, meeting Karen was my favorite delight.
Thank you for each step of the process.
You all are really exceptional.
