LK Homes is based in Ocala in Marion County and serves landowners, families, and businesses throughout North Central Florida.

Wherever you are in the region, we come to you.
Where We Build in North Central Florida
We are a custom builder serving North Central Florida with a focus on Marion County and seven surrounding counties. Each area has its own soil conditions, zoning rules, and market realities, and we build with those in mind.
Marion County
Marion County is our home base and where LK Homes was built. We handle rural barndominium builds on agricultural land, custom homes, and commercial steel buildings and warehouses along the I-75 corridor. As a general contractor in Marion County, Florida, this is our strongest and most established market.
Alachua County
Alachua County, home to Gainesville and the University of Florida, is a growing market for commercial construction, custom homes, and investment properties. We serve landowners and business owners throughout Gainesville, Newberry, Archer, and the rural areas outside the city. Our team understands local permitting, student housing demand, and long-term growth patterns in this corridor.
Citrus County
Crystal River, Inverness, and the Nature Coast communities of Citrus County attract landowners, retirees, and rural property owners who want custom builds without the big builder price tag. We design and build steel buildings, barndominiums, and custom homes that fit coastal and flood-zone realities. Our experience along the Nature Coast helps us balance views, storage, and storm-resilient design.
Levy County
Levy County is one of North Central Florida’s most rural counties with significant agricultural land and working farms. We build barndominiums, farm buildings, and custom rural construction in Chiefland, Williston, Bronson, and surrounding communities. Our team is comfortable with dirt roads, large tracts, and the practical needs of agricultural operations.
Sumter County
Sumter County, home to The Villages and one of the fastest growing areas in Florida, has strong demand for custom construction and steel buildings. We serve property owners along the growth corridor with commercial projects, storage buildings, and select custom homes. Our experience here helps us navigate fast-paced development and community requirements.
Lake County
Leesburg, Clermont, and the communities of Lake County sit at the southern edge of our service area. We take on custom homes, barndominiums, and commercial steel buildings for the right project scope. Our goal is to give Lake County clients a local-feeling builder who understands Central Florida growth while still keeping budgets grounded in reality.
Putnam County
Palatka and the rural communities of Putnam County are home to working landowners and families who want quality construction without big-city pricing. We build barndominiums, steel buildings, and custom homes throughout Putnam County. Our team respects the pace of life here while still keeping your schedule and budget on track.
St. Johns County
St. Johns County stretches from the suburbs of Jacksonville down through rural and semi-rural communities. We focus on serving landowners and developers in the less dense areas of St. Johns County with custom builds, steel buildings, and barndominium construction. Our experience here helps us align projects with growth-corridor requirements and local expectations.
