With over 18 years of experience in residential construction, Jonathan Niemela founded Everett Homes in 2016 with a simple mission: to build exceptional homes with quality, integrity, and genuine care.
Jonathan believes every home should reflect the people who live in it. He works closely with each homeowner throughout the building process, listening to their vision and thoughtfully bringing it to life. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, every detail is approached with craftsmanship, honesty, and a commitment to exceeding expectations.
As a family-focused builder, Jonathan understands that a home is more than just a house - it’s where life’s most important moments happen. That’s why he values building lasting relationships with his clients, creating not only beautiful homes but also a building experience founded on trust, communication, and personalized service.

We purchased our dream property, but the house itself was another story. The thought of a renovation was a bit overwhelming, but Jonathan and his team helped us see the vision of what this place could be, and they executed! We absolutely love our home, and we are so glad we found Everett Homes!

Working with Jonathan at Everett Homes to build our custom home was an absolute dream from start to finish. Building a home can notoriously be a stressful experience, but Jonathan completely flipped that narrative for us.
What stood out most right from the beginning was his incredible attention to detail. Jonathan doesn’t just build houses—he’s craftsmanship-focused and cares about the fine details that truly make a house feel like home. Every line, finish, and structural choice was executed with precision.
Communication was another area where Jonathan truly set himself apart:
A True Partner: He always took the time to listen to our ideas, answer our questions, and hear us out. Whenever we had a change of heart or wanted to explore a new detail, Jonathan was receptive, patient, and collaborative.
Because of his dedication, transparency, and top-tier craftsmanship, we officially have the house of our dreams. If you’re looking to build a custom home and want someone who treats your vision with the care and focus it deserves, we cannot recommend Jonathan and Everett Homes enough.

Easley, South Carolina
After getting a recommendation from our realtor, we contacted Jonathan with Everett Homes regarding renovations of a home that we purchased in the Landrum area. Jonathan and his crew patiently worked with my wife and I to come up with a plan to transform our new house to our new home. He then, with the help of his suppliers and contractors, made that plan a reality and we are extremely happy with the result. My wife and I would highly recommend Everett Homes for any new build or remodeling needs.
