My Story: Crafting Timeless Homes with Lockie Homes LLC
As the founder of Lockie Homes LLC, established in 1998, it is my privilege to share the journey that has defined our commitment to exceptional custom home building. My passion for craftsmanship was sparked early, rooted in hands-on experiences that instilled an unwavering dedication to quality, precision, and artistry. Beginning my career as a finish carpenter, I refined my skills, cultivating an eye for detail that ensures every element of a home is both functional and extraordinary.
In 1998, I founded Lockie Homes in Snohomish, Washington, with a singular vision: to create bespoke residences that embody the unique aspirations and lifestyles of our discerning clients. Our first project, a meticulously crafted 2,700 sq ft home in Bothell, WA, was a testament to this vision, which I completed while continuing to work full time honing my expertise as a finish carpenter (I keep my day job!) This dedication carried through two additional spec homes in unincorporated Snohomish; each built with the same exacting standards.
When the North family entrusted us with their vision for a custom home as we completed our third spec home, it was a defining moment for Lockie Homes. That first custom project ignited our passion for crafting residences as unique as the families who live in them. At Lockie Homes, we don’t just build houses—we partner with you to create timeless sanctuaries that reflect your distinct style and aspirations. With meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence, we deliver homes that embody sophistication, trust, and lasting value, tailored precisely to your vision.

The Construction Process: “Quality Through Teamwork”
Interestingly enough, actual construction is the most predictable part of this entire process because, in many ways, it is a repetitive task. The challenges arise in the area of communication, as a Custom Home requires numerous custom features. Coordinating customer selections, ordering material on time, and maintaining a smooth-flowing construction schedule requires a great deal of management skills.
Accurate and timely exchange of information is critical. The Lockie Homes Team will be in personal contact with you for various reasons. We will be requesting information and selections from you. We may seem demanding at times, but it is only to keep you focused and on track, so your Home can remain on schedule and budget. We know it can be difficult to make a color or material decision, but remember it’s your house. Your friends will all have an opinion, but creating a ‘selection committee’ is often more stressful than making that decision yourself.
We never want to promise you something we cannot deliver. Therefore, we work hand in hand with various Trades and Vendors who are experts in their own areas. We use only subcontractors that have proven their value to us over time and share our commitment to quality.
You will be provided with a timetable that indicates when your decisions on various product selections must be finalized with a signed order. This timetable is based on our experience in determining the required lead time for the ordering process, ensuring construction stays on schedule. If products are not selected on time, construction delays and increases in cost usually result.
In order to ensure that everything is going according to plan, regular walk-throughs will be scheduled with you. Some mistakes are an inevitable part of the construction process. These scheduled walk-throughs will help to minimize the impact of any mistakes, and identify and solve them quickly to your satisfaction as soon as they are identified.
Our staff controls every aspect of the construction process on the job site. Feel free to learn what each subcontractor does; however, if you wish to make a change to the plans, specifications, or your selections please direct those requests through your Project Manager. Our process and documented flow of information is critical to maintaining the effective system we have created to build your Home.
