The History of Yoder Homes
Construction has been a way of life for Denny Yoder for as long as he can remember. Growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he spent my summers working for his father’s homebuilding company on various construction crews – learning all aspects of the building process along the way.
Wanting to venture out and experience new things, he headed west upon graduation, earning a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona. After five years of working for General Electric, the lure of the building industry brought him back home to his roots, where he spent 17 years as president of Delagrange Homes – one of the largest homebuilding companies in northeast Indiana, with annual sales of about $30 million at its peak.
In the Beginning
Many family vacations were spent throughout the years in Sarasota, and they all fell in love with both the climate and the beautiful landscape. So, it wasn’t a difficult decision when in 2005, the opportunity came to sell Delagrange Homes and make Sarasota their permanent residence. Seeing a niche market in condo renovation, he founded Yoder Homes, starting out with smaller jobs that quickly grew in scope as our reputation for quality workmanship became well-known.
Success Through Referrals
Over the past decade, Denny is pleased to say that Yoder Homes has experienced tremendous success, developing a large and loyal customer base. In fact, the majority of our business comes from word-of-mouth referrals! Establishing strong relationships with our homeowners, both during the building process and afterward, is something we strive for and value.

Our Process
Yoder Homes exemplifies a customer-centered philosophy, focusing on the unique needs and desires of each and every client and crafting a distinctive value. From the very first meeting to the completion of your dream project, our goal is to exceed your expectations by delivering a quality product on time and within your budget.
Initial Meeting
Bid Phase
Once bids are received, a formal proposal is produced. Often there are areas of the project that are not fully defined or require clients to make product selections. In these instances, a dollar allowance is reflected in the proposal so that owners have a complete picture of anticipated costs to avoid miscommunication and/or unexpected expenses.
Design Development
With more complex projects (including custom homes), a design agreement is required/recommended. With a design agreement in place, we work hand in hand with you and a design person to make sure the scope of work matches your desired budget.
Once the scope of work for a project has been determined, preliminary floor plans and schematic drawings are created, taking into account any mechanical and/or structural modifications, as well as city planning requirements and restrictions, when applicable. This process continues with your feedback and input until you are fully satisfied and sign off on the design.
Contract Documents
Client Communication
If computers aren’t your thing, that’s no problem! Our dedicated team is available to guide you through the building process each step of the way! From the initial meeting to project completion, we are at your disposal!
Construction
Once all construction permits are procured, our project manager and skilled construction team diligently work together to deliver a pleasurable building process and quality end product. To ensure that our high standards are maintained, Yoder Homes uses only licensed, insured craftsmen that have proven experience.
The Yoder Homes team is committed to delivering top-quality workmanship and installation through our on-the-job supervision.
