Led by Principal and Master Builder Todd Sweaney, whose leadership has been shaped by more than 30 years of designing and building custom homes, our integrated Design-Build process unites planning, design &amp; construction together under one experienced team—eliminating the need for homeowners to navigate today’s fragmented building process and creating a clearer, more rewarding custom home journey.

Building a custom home should be one of life’s most rewarding experiences, not one of its most complicated. Yet today’s building process often requires homeowners to coordinate multiple firms. Choosing the right builder is about more than constructing a beautiful home—it’s about choosing one accountable leader &amp; one experienced team to guide one of the most important investments of your life.

As Director of Client Experience, Dana Sweaney guides homeowners through material &amp; color selections while serving as a trusted advocate throughout the process. Rooted in our Family Driven Culture and by intentionally limiting the number of homes we build, we provide the accessibility, responsiveness, and personalized service that define the SCH Experience. From land evaluation through final completion, homeowners benefit from architectural leadership, engineering coordination, &amp; single-source accountability—bringing greater clarity, fewer surprises &amp; more confidence every step of the way.

Our integrated Design-Build process unites planning, budgeting, engineering coordination, material and color selections, and construction from the very beginning. One shared vision. One experienced team. One accountable leader. The result is better communication, better decisions, fewer surprises &amp; a smoother building experience from concept through completion.

Every Sweaney home is thoughtfully designed around the family who will live there, the character of the property, and the lifestyle it is meant to support. Whether creating a Transitional estate, Modern Mediterranean residence, or Contemporary retreat, our commitment remains the same: enduring architecture, exceptional craftsmanship &amp; an exceptional client experience.

### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — wmbushj, Nov. 2014**

> It was Sweaney Custom Home's design of homes that first attracted my wife and I to interview Todd Sweaney as a potential builder for our new home. After the interview, we knew Sweaney Custom Homes was the builder/contractor for our new home. Todd and his wife Dana are very organized and have the guidelines and time table for the homeowner to follow in making the decisions during construction of the home. The communications from Todd and Dana to my wife and I were timely, professional, and second to none. Quality of construction is excellent and Todd's architecture design expertise allowed us to make several changes to his original plan, including a several custom ideas. We highly recommend Sweaney Custom Homes.

**★★★★★ — Gurinder Singh, Aug. 2026**

> We had an amazing experience building our custom home with Sweaney Custom Homes in Sterling at Belcourt. From the very beginning, Todd and his wife were always present and involved throughout the entire planning, design and building process. They were easy to reach, and willing to answer all the questions my family and I had throughout the entire process. Building a custom home comes with making a lot of decisions, which can be very stressful. However, Todd and his wife made this entire process extremely easy to navigate with how every decision was divided up. They showed genuine care and interest in every aspect which was evident through the attention to detail given at every step along the way. We couldn’t be happier with our home or with our experience. Todd, Dana, and Ryder helped turn what can be a stressful experience into something we enjoyed. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a builder that puts effort and time into their work.

**★★★★★ — HU-700809413, Aug. 2026**

**★★★★★ — Jason Ghilarducci, Aug. 2026**

> Todd, Dana, and Ryder Sweaney did an outstanding job designing and building our dream home. They were personally involved throughout the entire process and cared about every detail as though they were building the home for themselves. If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-built, structurally sound home, I highly recommend Sweaney Custom Homes.

**Comment from Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc.:**

> Jason,
>
> Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. Your words truly mean a great deal to Dana, Ryder, and me.
>
> It was a genuine pleasure getting to know your family and working with you to bring your home to life. One of the things we value most about what we do is the relationships that develop along the way, and your family made the entire experience especially enjoyable for all of us.
>
> We’re grateful for the trust you placed in our family and our team. We really do approach every home as though we were building it for ourselves, so hearing that you felt that level of care and personal involvement means more to us than you probably realize.
>
> We hope your family enjoys the home and makes wonderful memories there for many years to come. Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of something so important to your family. It was truly our privilege.
>
> Warmly,
> Todd, Dana & Ryder

**★★ — Andrew Leong, Aug. 2022**

> Poor quality would find out after 17 years. Stated as energy saving home and Third party checking for energy safe certification. But HVAC system had neglected one room without duct connecting vent. Only you would find out after you tried to replace new HVAC unit. Stated as using quality wood but you would get crack wood and roof would have sacking.
> My advise was Todd Sweaney ( He was OK ) but be careful with his team.
> I can support my claim with picture if you want

**Comment from Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc.:**

> Andrew, thank you for sharing your concerns. The disconnected HVAC duct should have been identified and corrected during construction, and we regret that it was overlooked. The issue had already been resolved when it was brought to our attention, so we were unable to inspect the original condition ourselves.
>
> We also reviewed the photographs you provided of the roof framing. The visible checking and cracking appeared consistent with the normal drying and aging of wood, but photographs alone cannot adequately evaluate a reported roof sag.
>
> I also regret that I did not see your Houzz review when it was posted. We take responsibility for the disconnected duct and sincerely hope the home has otherwise served you well over the past two decades.

**★★★★★ — Bart Tipton, March 2020**

> Todd Sweaney is the premier luxury builder in Bakersfield. As a Realtor, I've sold several of his homes throughout the years. His attention to detail and unmatched craftsmanship makes him stand out from all others. If a home is built by Sweaney Construction, I always make sure to mention that in my descriptions because I know potential buyers are well aware of the quality.

**★★★★★ — ron sanders, March 2020**

> We have worked with Sweaney Custom Homes for over 20 years. Todd is great to work with and is always involved with the subcontractors to make sure that the owners expectations are exceeded.

**★★★★★ — Diane Goltz, March 2020**

> I have been a realtor involved with new construction in Bakersfield for 30 years. I have worked with all of the builders and Todd Sweaney is simply the best. He is honest, hard working and brings an artistic ability to all of his projects that can not be duplicated. Please call/text/email me with any questions. Best Wishes! Diane - 661-204-4886 - dgoltz@cbbakersfield.com

**★★★★★ — Mark Pendley, Jan. 2020**

> I am a construction loan lender who provides financing to clients wanting to build or renovate a home.  Todd was able to step in and help a client who was in need of some special circumstances.  As the lender reviewing the project documentation, I and the head of our construction department were very impressed at the professional quality and thoroughness of the project documentation provided to build this home.  It made the review process go very quickly, which is a benefit to the customer who is having the home built.  Todd has been very responsive and a pleasure to work with.  We look forward to a successful build with our mutual client.

**★★★★★ — Dwight D Williams, Dec. 2019**

> Todd Sweaney: I really loved the Mediterranean designed home he built for me in 7 Oaks, Bakersfield, CA. You can see some of his work at His web site gallery. His design, fit and finish work is par none. . .Has great talent but humble. . .and honest. Really easy to work with! But totally upper end. Todd would do well in Arizona.

**★★★★★ — HU-297390, May 2017**

> Sweaney Homes is one of only a couple of the most high end custom home builders in Kern County.  No job is too big and no detail is too small.  Everything from the start of, during, and to the finish of construction is considered and is done at the highest level of quality and craftsmanship.

**★★★★★ — Paul Brown Architect Inc, May 2017**

> I have worked with Todd on several projects. As an Architect, it's always a bonus to work with an individual that is determined to construct our designs as they have conceived. His attention to detail, his ability to see the end product are paramount to his success in building the highest quality home.

**★★★★★ — Mary Christenson, May 2017**

> It is a pleasure to sell homes built by Todd Sweaney!  He has a great reputation, and has built some of the finest custom homes in Bakersfield, specifically in the Seven Oaks and Grand Island golf course neighborhoods. I recently sold one of his homes in a double-gated golf course community, with over 7444 sq. ft. for almost 2 million, on the market one week! Incredible architectural design with excellent attention to detail!

**★★★★★ — Dwight D Williams, May 2017**

> Todd has the habit of keeping abreast of the latest trends in building design and construction.  He is easy to work with and seems to have suggestions that always adds a plus to the construction process.  His deep knowledge of construction always makes his projects the best it can be.  Still, he's old fashioned in his beliefs that even the smallest detail is important. He's the best man for your building project!  All you need do is review some of his building projects.

**★★★★★ — Coronado Stone Products, June 2015**

> The quality of construction and attention to detail that Sweaney Custom Homes puts into everyone of their homes is outstanding. Their home designs are simply amazing and they continue to reach for new levels of innovation with every high end Custom Home they build. I definitely recommend Sweaney Custom Homes for anyone looking for the next level in home comfort.

**★★★★★ — meenakshis73, Feb. 2015**

> Todd Sweaney is the best builder anyone can hope for when in search of their dream home. To begin with, his professional knowledge is quite commendable, and he has the experience of building gorgeous homes that vary in size and style. He has a wonderful understanding of his customers' needs. He is able to efficiently work with one's budget while still making every single detail into perfection. He is able to complete one's project in the estimated time provided. I am very thankful to his team and him for making the process of building a home into a delightful experience.

**★★★★★ — drh13158, Sept. 2014**

> After having built and lived in several custom homes over the last 55 years we decided to do one more custom home project. This would be the last one and thus very important to us.
>
> We had a clear vision of what we hoped to achieve in creating a modest size Italian Villa style with updated features yet truly be one of a kind. We put our vision was put to paper with floor plan sketches and detailed lists of our ideas depicting our vision.
>
> Then it was time to search for the right builder for us to make this vision come to life. Our city has several excellent custom home builders.  After a careful review of examples of completed
> projects, model homes and other research we were able to make our choice of Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc.
>
>
> Todd & Dana Sweaney took our sketches and lists depicting our vision for this project plus many hours of discussions to clarify the vision and produced a detailed design. The process was so clean and simple.  Sweaney Custom Homes provided a one stop shop. They produced the detailed design, procurement and construction. The attention to the finest and or smallest of details was impressive. The project flow and timing of each phase was well managed. The usual seemingly endless selection process for colors, stone, flooring, hardware and fine finishes etc. was smooth and the easiest we have ever experienced. The professionals they bring to this process ensure the finished results meets expectations.
>
> We can say without reservation that Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc. Todd & Dana Sweaney are the best we have ever worked with. We sincerely recommend them to anyone that is seriously interested in a custom home that is set apart from the crowd. They can and will make your personal vision of a home just for you a reality.

**★★★★★ — Lisa McIntosh, Sept. 2014**

> Todd and Dana Sweaney are the best!  They were friendly, honest and professional during our entire building process.  We couldn't have asked for a better builder to build our beautiful home.  There are so many decisions to make when building a home but they were always available to answer questions and provide direction for us.  They operate their business with the highest integrity and experience.  Tom and Lisa McIntosh

**★★★★★ — Chris Krausgrill, Sept. 2014**

> We are supplier of various materials to Sweaney Custom homes.  Todd allows his customers to truly customize their home in every aspect, using high quality materials.  Todd works with his customers throughout the selection process to ensure that home is a true reflection of them.  We would definitely recommend Sweaney Custom Homes for anybody looking to build or remodel their home.

When I'm ready to build a new house they will be the home builders for us

**★★★★★ — elevatorhero, Sept. 2014**

> We have worked with Sweaney Custom Homes several times over the last ten years.  As a supplier of residential elevator and dumbwaiter products we rely on builders to supply accurate plans to us and then to construct hoistways to concise dimensions.  Sweaney Custom Homes has exceeded every expectation.  We especially appreciate a high level of communication and coordination of trades required for us to bring our area of responsibility to a successful completion.

Todd, great work by the way.  I have a question about the balconies.  It is hard to tell from the pictures, but is there guttering under the balustrade and railing?  How do the balconies drain after a rain?

Also, in the area where this house was built, is there not a need to vent the soffiting or is the attic roof foamed?

Thanks

A: The decks have area drains/floor drains.
The roof is vented with dormer vents on the roof and continuous eave vents in the patio ceilings.
I hope that helps.
