Arete Home Builders was founded by Gavin Havard with a clear purpose: deliver high-quality construction work with full transparency, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. The name Arete comes from a Greek concept meaning excellence, and that word shapes how we approach every project we take on across Northwest Louisiana.
We operate as a design-build firm, which means we guide you through the entire process, from early design concepts all the way through construction completion. Whether you're building a new home from the ground up, remodeling a kitchen, or adding an outdoor living space, you work with one team from start to finish. That removes the confusion that comes from juggling separate designers and contractors.
From your first call through final completion, we keep things clear and collaborative. Here's what to expect when you partner with Arete Home Builders.
Call us at 318-200-0311 or email info@aretehomebuilders.com to discuss your project vision. We'll listen to your goals and answer any questions about our design-build approach.
Our team creates a detailed design and transparent estimate for your approval. We walk you through materials, scope, and costs so there are no surprises.
We handle all permitting, labor, and cleanup while keeping you informed every step. Your input matters—we build to your standards and modern best practices.
We complete your project and conduct a thorough walkthrough with you. You'll receive documentation and know exactly how to maintain your new space.
We manage permits, materials, and site cleanup. You stay involved, review progress, and approve each phase before we move forward.
Every project in this gallery was built by our crew. Real work, real clients, real results.
