The Jenkins Team

Shan Jenkins has a unique ability to listen and discern each client’s vision for their project while also bringing his vast construction expertise to the conversation. This, combined with his focus on the science of building, allows him to design and build beautiful, lasting, healthy homes that are perfectly customized to meet each client’s individual needs. Shan’s background in commercial construction, working almost 10 years for companies like Hensel Phelps and Kellogg Brown & Root, gave him the opportunity to work on large projects like Power Optimization Plants, Chemical Plants, and even the very first Recycling Facility in Texas. The organizational skills he learned while working for these industry leaders carried over when he started Jenkins Custom Homes. Quality and integrity are the hallmarks of both Shan and Jenkins Custom Homes. Shan holds an undergraduate degree in Construction Science from Texas A&M University as well as an MBA from St. Thomas University. He enjoys Texas Aggie Football, golf, fishing, and spending time with his family. Learn more about Shan Jenkins’ approach to building homes.

Lonnie is our youngest “rock star” Superintendent.  Just like owner, Shan Jenkins, Lonnie graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Construction Science and has extensive knowledge of time-tested principles in the building sciences. He oversees all the daily construction on the jobsite. It is easy to see that Lonnie works out and takes good care of himself. What many people don’t know about Lonnie is that he once participated in bodybuilding competitions.

Denny came to us from Winter Park, Colorado, where he served as a Project Superintendent building luxury homes in a resort mountainside community for 11 years alongside our very own Estimator, Skyler.  While Skyler came to Texas many years ago, it took Denny just a little longer to get here, but we are so glad to he made it. Denny oversees day-to-day operations on his projects, ensuring quality and schedule are maintained.
