The Curt Hofer team has been building homes for more than 30 years. We’ve seen trends come and go, families grow, and homes pass from one generation to the next. During that time, Curt Hofer has earned a reputation as one of Omaha’s most respected luxury custom home builders.
We’ve done so by remaining true to our belief that great homes don’t just happen. They are the result of listening first and then following with a proven process built on talent, expertise, and superior craftsmanship. No matter how the industry evolves, we remain steadfastly committed to being a trusted partner throughout every phase of the journey, guiding clients from the earliest ideas through the final details of construction.
We’re especially proud when homeowners tell us, “There’s nothing like a Curt Hofer home.” We believe that distinction comes from creating homes that are as unique as the families who live in them, and we think you’ll agree.
Curt Hofer didn’t set out to build one of Omaha’s most respected luxury homebuilding companies. He simply wanted to create exceptional homes for families while honoring the values he learned growing up on a ranch in Montana.
Raised in a family that valued hard work, craftsmanship, and stewardship, Curt learned early that meaningful things are built over time. After moving to Omaha in 1991 with little more than determination and a willingness to outwork everyone around him, he began taking on remodeling projects and knocking on doors to earn opportunities. Every project became a chance to learn, improve, and build trust.
What started as a one-man operation steadily grew through a commitment to quality, relationships, and doing things the right way. While others focused on volume, Curt focused on creating homes that reflected the people who lived in them. That philosophy attracted clients who wanted something more personal, more intentional, and more enduring.
Over the past three decades, the company has evolved into one of the region’s premier custom home builders, known for creating one-of-a-kind residences, thoughtfully planned communities, and experiences that extend far beyond construction.
Today, Curt’s influence extends beyond the homes themselves. Through renowned developments such as The Haven Lake Estates, The Preserve II, Sanctuary Ridge, and Avenue One, he continues to pursue a vision of creating places people love—places that bring families together, foster community, and stand the test of time.
While the company has grown significantly, the mission remains unchanged with the belief that building is about more than structures. It’s about creating a legacy. That’s the foundation Curt Hofer Custom Homes & Renovations was built upon—and it’s the foundation that continues to guide us today.
The homes we create are ultimately the result of talented people who genuinely enjoy what they do. Our team brings creativity and expertise to each phase of the project, from the initial floor plans through the final touchups before move-in day.
