  Our History

After serving as operations manager for the Lexington Center, Bill Pickett started building homes with a partner in 1989. Then, in 1991, he ventured out on his own and founded Pickett Homes.

As business quickly grew, Bill’s wife Barbie left her position as manager of the furniture and design department at Kinnaird & Francke in 1993 to join her husband full time.

Today, Pickett Homes is building in the Stuart Hall and Ellerslie subdivisions with homes priced from $275,000 - $500,000.
   
 
   

In-house Designer
Pickett Homes’ staff includes in-house designer David Toth, who provides computer-assisted design service to customize floor plans and change other details at customers’ requests.

Meanwhile, owners Bill and Barbie remain hands on in their attention to detail. Bill oversees the construction process while Barbie assists homebuyers in selection of interior options such as carpeting and countertops.

Bill Named Homebuilders Association President
Bill was named president of the Home Builders Association of Lexington for 2002.

One of his goals was to make local starter homes more affordable for people still on the bottom rung of the home buying ladder. “There is not a concerted effort to advocate for those people who want to purchase safe, decent and affordable housing,” Bill told the Lexington Herald-Leader. “So we are going to be advocates for those people.”

'An Intensity That's Impressive'
“Bill has more good ideas than anyone I’ve met,” a former HBAL executive director told the Herald-Leader. “He has an intensity and love for this business that is impressive.”

That same spirit of community service and responsibility is what both Bill and Barbie bring to Pickett Homes — and remains the key to their history of success.
