Fireside Homes

“Our culture is really good, and we get high marks from our clients. That’s what sets us apart. We are dedicated to being the best builder, developer and remodeler in the Michiana area.”

Timberstone, the area’s premier active-lifestyle community, is currently being built. “We are in phase five,” said Byars. “We will have 60 new lots.”

“The majority of the building we do is custom homes on acreage and lakefront properties. We do specialty building projects. For instance, we built three different gyms, pool houses and indoor golf simulators. We do craft rooms and home offices.”

Fireside prides itself during the design process. First, said Byars, “We sit down with the customer and do a needs assessment. Why?”

“Because everybody’s story is different,” Byars said.

Core Values

Fireside Homes is proud of its core values. The first is Integrity. “Maintaining honesty in all our communication is a fundamental principle at Fireside Homes. This value is embodied in our words, action, and behaviors. We are trusted partners,” Byars notes.

The second core value is Building with Excellence. “Fireside Homes has a standard of high quality and attention to detail that allow us to build lasting homes. Excellence is what defines our work ethic and communication.”

Third is Love for Others. “Our love for others is a driving force in everything we do. We cultivate meaningful relationships through our humble and selfless service. We approach every opportunity with a positive attitude and leverage the skills and talents bestowed upon us by God to make a positive impact in our community,” states Byars. “We value our partnerships in the industry with local suppliers and subcontractors.” www.firesidehomesinc.com james@firesidehomesinc.com ln our 37th year, Fireside Homes is honored to be recognized as one of the most respected builders in Michiana. Having built over 700 homes and established over 24 beautiful communities, it is still our mission to design and build the finest homes, renovations, and neighborhoods while meeting the needs and improving the quality of life for each individual client.

“Fireside Homes is based out of Middlebury, and faith-based principles permeate the culture of the company,” said Byars.

“Once we do that, we start the design process that meets the needs and lifestyles of families,” he said.

“One of the benefits of working with us is our flexibility and the ability to adapt to change.

“We stay up to date on trends. We try to combine trends with practicability. We have a lot of discussions (with clients) about function,” he said.
