creative homes
Founded in 2012 by CEO Nick Hackworthy, Creative Homes was built on a simple but powerful idea: put people at the center of everything. Nick saw an opportunity to reimagine the homebuilding experience—shifting it from transactional to truly personal—by creating a culture where passion, collaboration, and fun drive every interaction.
From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide an unmatched home-buying experience through exceptional Customer Experience, Personalization, and Quality Process. At Creative Homes, we believe great homes start with great people. Our “people first” culture extends to everyone we work with—homebuyers, employees, and trade partners—and continues through our commitment to serving our local communities with volunteer efforts and charitable giving.
With trend-forward floor plans, a market-leading Design Studio, and a team of passionate professionals, we personalize every home to reflect each homeowner’s unique lifestyle. Our proven processes and award-winning craftsmanship make the journey exciting, transparent, and stress-free from start to finish.
Today, Creative Homes has grown to become one of the largest and most respected local builders in the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin, known for building more than just houses—we build communities, relationships, and homes people are proud to live in. Fueled by innovation and grounded in our core values, we continue to be the builder of choice to build with, work with, and work for.

our core values
Homebuyers, employees and trade partners alike are at the heart of everything we do. We center our decisions on the human experience, not just the build-out.
People First
Accountability matters. From design selections to construction details to post-move-in support, we take ownership to ensure every home reflects our standards and our homeowners’ dreams.
own it
We believe in sustained effort and excellence, but we also cultivate an environment where teamwork, fun and creativity flourish — because great homes begin with great teams.
work hard play hard
We refuse to settle for mediocrity. Each project, every process, and all communications are elevated, ensuring that we don’t just meet expectations — we raise the bar.
good is not good enough
It’s not just business; we genuinely love what we do, and that energy shows in how we serve each homeowner and how our team delivers.

Overall, we are very pleased that we selected Creative Homes to build our home. It was a joy to work with everyone involved in the process and we love our new home! Thank you all for such a positive and exciting experience!! We are happy to recommend Creative Homes to others. Our realtor was correct when she said that Creative Homes is a very solid company with a good reputation in the Twin Cities home building industry.
Our family recently purchased a move-in ready home from Creative Homes and we absolutely love it. The design and quality of the home was done with great attention to detail. The staff, in all phases of our purchase, was amazingly accommodating and professional. I would recommend Creative to anyone who is looking to move into a new house or build a new house!

The entire team at Creative Homes has been phenomenal to work with through our building process. This is the 3rd time I’ve built and everything about the process has been second to none. I appreciate the entire Creative Team and cannot speak highly enough of their work!!
