About Us

One of the greatest compliments we’ve received came from a person touring a previous Parade of Homes model.  Upon entering the home the women said simply, ” I don’t feel like I’m in Iowa.”  We believe this is because homes built by B. Hancock Custom Homes use high-end materials such as stone, slate, tile, concrete and unique grains of granite to create a feeling of luxury while still retaining the comfort of a family home.

While each of our home projects may be varied by style, scope, and imagination; B. Hancock Custom Homes is dedicated to putting our customer first and building the highest quality product possible that we can both be proud of.  From creation to completion we’ll work with you every step of the way to complete the home of your dreams.

Our Founder

B. Hancock Custom Homes was founded by Brian Hancock.  Brian and his wife Heidi live in Cedar Rapids with their four children.  As a young boy Brian grew up around home building and learned from a very young age to appreciate the necessity for delivering a quality home.  Having over 18 years in business, 22 years of hands-on experience and over 70 homes built in Cedar Rapids, Marion and surrounding areas, Brian has become more than just a general contractor.  Brian is also a talented carpenter who does much of the work from framing to finish carpentry himself.  He employs his own crew who frame, side, trim, and deck every B. Hancock home.  Brian has also spent years building relationships with his sub-contractors and always uses the same electricians, plumbers, etc. thus ensuring a lasting quality home at a fair price.
