Shepard Homes, LLC

Working with Shepard Homes on this new construction project has been an outstanding experience from a designer’s perspective. Joey and his team executed the design plans with precision and care, bringing every detail to life exactly as intended. Their collaborative approach truly sets them apart—whenever decisions or adjustments were needed, they were proactive, solution-oriented, and always open to thoughtful discussion. Communication between the builder, homeowner, and designer remained seamless throughout the entire process. The entire team, from the office staff to the construction crew, is professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Their commitment to integrity, quality and teamwork is evident in every phase of the build. I’ve truly valued the opportunity to work alongside Shepard Homes and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking a top-tier builder for a new construction or large-scale renovation project. - Elizabeth Hall Designs, LLC

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Joey and his team were. From day one, Mike, our contractor, and Joey and his entire team made this process so smooth and painless. Their process is perfected so that all of the decision making just flows and we never felt overwhelmed. They took our plans for our dream home and made them a reality, and I just cannot say enough good things about them. Choosing them to build our home was by far the best decision we made. I could go on and on, but if you are in the market for a builder, THESE are your people :)

My wife and I consider Joey, Mike, Nikki and Tanisha to be friends, they're like family now because that's how they made us feel. These guys know exactly what they're doing. We had a challenging lot for them to build on and everything came out wonderful! Their crews were all very professional and did an excellent job. We shopped around before making our decision as this was our retirement dream home. No one else gave us such a good feeling as Joey Shepard did through all the initial meetings and conversations prior to signing the agreement. We highly recommend Shepard Homes if you're considering building a custom home.

We’ve been in our absolutely beautiful new home for about 9 months. Joey Shepard and his team held our hands through the pandemic, supply and labor shortages to deliver an excellent product. We are so happy that we chose them to build our new home.

We had a great experience with Joey and his team in building our dream home. Excellent communication throughout, great attention to detail, and very close to budget. Highly recommend them.

We have only been in our house for a month but love everything about it. So glad we went with Shepard Homes because they really pay attention to detail and were willing to work with us any way they could. They are truly custom home builder.

Its been one year since we built out home with Shepard Homes. We had an ambitious timeline- building a large home (over 6,000 total sq ft) in a high velocity flood zone in less than 1 year. And Joey's team made it happen! I am really satisfied with the level of support I received from the Shepard Homes team. I had A LOT of change orders and they were patient and kind with me, tracked and accounted for everything... I was provided with regular accounting reports, support from their very awesome officer manager and someone who assisted in the interior/exterior color selection process etc. Also, they were very good about honoring the 1 year warranty on our home. We had our home inspected at month 11- right before our warranty expired, and I handed the report to the builder with all of the findings. They honored and fixed just about everything in the report. There were a couple of instances where small assumptions were made by a couple of the subs when I wasn't present. For example, the type of spindles and hand railing on my balconies, and the particular type of shiplap installed. But, this was our first custom home building experience and I probably should have been ahead of them on those specific details... Although I may have slightly altered the look given the chance on those things (yes I know, I am picky! ), they did turn out beautiful and high quality. Shepard's interior carpenter, Wendel, was probably my favorite sub ever! He does amazing work and the quality is impeccable. Wendel works with his two adult sons and I think they are the coast's best kept secret! If we build again in the area, I would 100% use Shepard Homes. Our home is beautiful and the quality speaks for itself. We were awarded the "best overall custom built new construction" in our sq. ft. category by the Home Builders Association of Mississippi in 2018, for the entire state of Mississippi. That should say something about this builder and his team!

Joey and his team provide first-rate service and are consistently building premier homes all across the coast. Having been in our new home for a little over a month now, we can say with the utmost confidence that Joey and his staff made the process easy, fun, and went the extra mile on our home. Everyone that has visited our home (neighbors, friends, family) has complimented on the craftsmanship, beauty, and they marvel when we describe to them how easy the custom home process was simply by choosing Shepard Homes. When Joey says him and his team will be available to answer any questions, concerns, or to discuss any changes you dream up, he is not lying. We would contact Brian, Nikki, Tanisha and Joey at all times of the week and weekend and what we always found and truly appreciated, was that they would answer us and treat us like we were their number one priority. We had a top-notch experience with Shepard homes including all the work crews. Joey and his team stand by their word, their work, and we would not have changed one thing about our experience. What is most rewarding about the experience with Shepard Homes is that they don't just build your home and turn the door on you, they warranty their work, they address potential issues/problems head on, are transparent on solutions, and best of all they build to your dream. Our home has brought great joy and pride to not only Alli and I, but to our families, and we encourage anyone considering building to give Shepard Homes the opportunity to build their dream home.

For building our first custom home, I was a little skeptical and nervous but Joey and his team made the process so enjoyable and smooth sailing. They are professional, accommodating, and punctual. We couldn’t have chose a better builder to do this process with, especially being completely naive to it all. I would recommend them whole heartedly for anyone who wants to build a custom home!

Shepard Homes, LLC built our lovely home. We lived out of state and had to trust that all aspects were being taken care of. Our home turned out exceptionally beautiful. Joey Shepard took care of every detail and then some. This was our fifth new built. Shepard Homes gave us the best experience and workmanship.

I have worked with Shepard homes on three separate projects since 2016. First-rate custom home builder on the MS Gulf Coast. These guys know home building inside and out. Very knowledgeable about local codes and seem to have significant relationships ($$) with local material suppliers. A real custom home builder with a very hands-on approach to each project. I would (and have) recommended Joey and his company to anyone interested in building a home in south Mississippi.

Joey Shepard and his staff are very professional and organized. They build a solid quality home and the staff keeps the owner informed in order to keep the home in budget. They also keep a very clean work site which makes it nice for the neighbors. I highly recommend Shepard Homes.
