Our Story

Who We Are

A Family Business
Built on Honest Work

Butler Build & Design is run by Daniel Butler — a Marine Corps veteran and soon-to-be graduate student at the University of Tennessee — and his wife Lindsay. What started with a passion for house-flipping grew into a full-fledged remodeling business grounded in one simple belief: people deserve to have someone they can genuinely trust working in their home.

Daniel's background as an officer and his hands-on experience flipping homes give him a rare combination of disciplined execution and an eye for what makes a space truly sing. Lindsay brings warmth, design sensibility, and a homeowner's perspective to every project.

Our Values

The Foundation of
Everything We Do

Honesty & Transparency

We hear it all the time: "Who can I trust?" That's why every invoice is clear, every rate is flat, and every material is billed at exactly what we pay — no markups, ever.

Respect for Your Home

Your home is still your home during a project. We work clean, minimize disruption, and treat every space as if it were our own. You won't find dust sneaking under your doors.

Safety First — Always

From managing heavy materials to controlling dust and air quality, safety isn't an afterthought. It's built into every day on the job — protecting you, your family, and your home.

Genuine Care

Fine work starts with you feeling comfortable. We know inviting someone into your home is an act of trust — and we carry that responsibility seriously, every single day.
