Since 1985 Mike Hickman and Hickman Homes have been building custom homes throughout Central Florida.  These homes reflect the tradition of fine home building.

In addition to building these distinctively better homes on sites throughout Polk County, Hickman Homes is creating neighborhoods.  Our upcoming work in Lakeland includes "Heritage Park, a traditional neighborhood with a 7-acre community park and "Canopy Oaks" an exclusive enclave of just 20 home sites featuring grandfather oaks.  Also look for us at "Tuscany Woods" in Auburndale and at "Morgan Creek Preserve" and "Grandefield at Poley Creek"; planned communities that have those extra special amenities.  These neighborhoods and others enable us to showcase the charm and uniqueness of the homes we build.  These are neighborhoods where you can express your own personality in the home that you live in and enjoy a close knit community for you and your family.

 

Hickman Homes has received many awards. These awards include the Tampa Electric "Signature Award" for energy efficient design and construction, The Florida Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association Award for “Best Use of Wood Products”, Central Florida Gas "Energy Plus" award, and the Polk County Builder's Association “HOME OF THE YEAR” 11 time winner.

Testimonials

I had many offers on my home and land and Mike stood out as the builder who had integrity.  His reputation as a fair and honest man to deal with was 100% true.  He made the task of selling my property for development an easy one.  In hindsight, I chose the person who not only wants to build excellent houses, but who wants to build a neighborhood.  Even my neighbors were happy that Hickman Homes' were being built by them since they knew they would be quality.              Roger Meadows

"What impressed me the most about Mike, was that from the very beginning, he stood out as being the one builder who would work the hardest to build our home, the way we wanted it. He never once tried to change our minds or make decisions for us. In the end, your house is only as good as the workers who built it. Mike’s crews have been together a long time … They are good at what they do."
