Barrett & Courtney Lakeland, Florida
Our Story

We’re Barrett and Courtney.

Barrett & Co. is exactly what it sounds like. Barrett, and his “Co.” That’s Courtney.

We’re a husband-and-wife team who design and build a select number of homes each year in Lakeland’s best locations.

Homes we would live in ourselves, finished to the standard we want for our own family.

Meet the Founders

If you’ve seen our sign on a homesite around town, this is who’s behind it.

Co-Founder & Designer

Courtney

Courtney designs every Barrett & Co. home, bringing an artist’s eye and a personal understanding of how people experience the spaces around them.

She’s an artist. That’s not a title, it’s just who she is. She studied art, ran her own art business, and spent years in the wedding industry, where she developed an eye for design and architectural style you can’t teach.

She also worked as a nurse at Lakeland Regional, caring for people on their hardest days. Both chapters taught her the same thing. Listen to people, and sweat the details that matter.

Now she pours all of it into our homes. Courtney designs every home we build, from the big architectural moves down to the small touches you can’t quite name but you feel the moment you walk through the front door.

A beautiful home should feel considered, but it should never feel overly designed.
Co-Founder & General Contractor

Barrett

Barrett brings the discipline of complex commercial construction to the deeply personal work of building someone’s home.

Barrett was born and raised in Bartow and Lakeland. He graduated from Summerlin Military Academy, commissioned as a U.S. Army Infantry Officer through Marion Military Institute, and came home to the industry he grew up around.

He’s a second generation construction professional and Florida licensed general contractor who has spent his career leading high stakes commercial projects across the Southeast, from airports to retail developments and everything in between. The kind of work where budgets are audited, schedules are contractual, and your word is everything.

At some point the question became obvious. What happens when you bring that level of discipline to building someone’s home?

The quality of a home is shaped by hundreds of decisions, including the ones no one sees.
From the first plan to the final detail.
The Homes We Build

Designed with care. Built differently on purpose.

Every Barrett & Co. home starts long before the first shovel of dirt. We hand-pick the homesite. Courtney designs the home for that specific lot, considering the light, the trees, the street, and the way a family will actually live in it. Barrett then builds it with the same discipline he brings to commercial construction.

Elevated, not out of reach.

A beautifully designed, exceptionally built home should not be reserved for the very top of the market. These are homes for families who value quality and design and want a home that feels custom without spending years getting there.

01

Designed for the Homesite

Each home is created for its specific setting rather than repeating the same plan from one property to the next.

02

Healthy by Design

Sustainable materials, sound building science, and healthier choices are considered alongside beauty and comfort.

03

Built with Discipline

Planning, schedules, communication, craftsmanship, and follow-through are managed with clear accountability.

04

Closely Involved

Building a select number of homes allows Barrett and Courtney to remain involved through the final details.

Our Lakeland Roots

This is home for us.

We are raising our family here. Our son Crew, another little boy on the way, our church family at Grace City, and our whole life are in Lakeland.

We are not a brand passing through town. We are your neighbors, and our name is on every home we build.

If one of our signs brought you here, welcome. We hope you will come walk through one.
