The Breezewood Plan

Crafted with Purpose. Built on Legacy. Inspired by Community. The History of Yoder Homes Yoder Homes was founded in 2005 by Denny Yoder, whose passion for building began in a Mennonite household in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Raised in a culture that emphasized hard work, humility, and craftsmanship, Denny carried those values into every aspect of his professional life. With degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering, he worked for GE while building homes in New Mexico, eventually returning to Indiana to join the family construction business. Over nearly two decades, Denny helped build more than 1,000 homes and develop over 500 residential lots. After years of family trips to Sarasota, the Yoders made the move permanent and launched Yoder Homes—initially focused on condo renovations. What began as a small remodeling company quickly grew into a full-service design-build firm known for quality, care, and a seamless building experience. Now employing a team of over 18 and generating upwards of $20 million in annual sales, Yoder Homes continues to thrive. In 2022, Denny passed leadership to Kevin Archer, who now serves as President and co-owner. Kevin brings a strong construction background and a shared dedication to integrity, community, and exceptional workmanship. Together with his wife Crystal and their blended family of eight children, Kevin leads with energy, heart, and a clear vision for the future—expanding the company to offer semi-custom new builds and accessible options for families across Florida’s west coast. At Yoder Homes, every project is a partnership. We’re here to listen, to guide, and to build—with precision, passion, and a level of care you can feel.
