Our Story
Built on Experience, Backed by Relationships
Following a successful career in corporate finance our founder, Mark Pottebaum, turned a lifelong passion for construction into Redknot Homes in 2007.
From the beginning, Redknot was built differently.
What began with remodels and investment projects evolved into a custom homebuilding company focused on creating a more organized, transparent, and thoughtful building experience.
Today, our team combines disciplined planning, thoughtful design, and proactive communication to help homeowners move through the building process with greater clarity and confidence.
We believe great homes come from more than good construction.
They come from aligned teams, trusted trade partners, and a process designed to reduce stress instead of creating it.
Because the difference isn’t just in the final home. It’s in how the entire experience feels along the way.
The Team
A clear homebuilding or remodeling experience starts by making the right decisions before construction ever begins. Our process takes you from first vision to a beautiful home built correctly with confidence.

The Difference Is In The Planning
Most costly surprises in homebuilding begin long before construction starts; when important decisions are rushed, budgets are unclear, or expectations aren’t aligned early enough.
That’s why Redknot focuses heavily on planning before construction begins.
Through our Building Clarity Process, we help homeowners align vision, design, selections, and investment early, creating a smoother and more confident experience from start to finish.
Thoughtful planning before construction
Transparent pricing and expectations
Clear communication throughout the process
