About Ravenna Homes

Building Beyond the Home

Ravenna Homes is a Houston-area homebuilder built on strong relationships and a personal approach to homebuilding. We believe how we treat people and how we do business are just as important as the homes we build.

That philosophy is reflected throughout our company, from our team to the relationships we have with homeowners, Realtors, trade partners, and the communities we serve. We take pride in being a local builder people can know, trust, and feel confident working with.

Family Owned Homebuilder

Come See the Difference

Our story is rooted in family, experience, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Ravenna Homes was founded by brothers Stephen and Kenneth Najvar, and the name comes from Ravenna, Italy, where their parents, Jerry and Maeve, first met. The values they taught them, honesty, integrity, loyalty, hard work, and never cutting corners, became the foundation of Ravenna Homes.

Built From Experience

Decades of experience shaped Ravenna Homes

Those values have stayed with us from our first lawn-mowing business as kids through decades in the homebuilding industry. After serving in leadership roles with one of Houston’s largest homebuilders, we set out to create something different: a company focused on high-end homes, distinctive design, lasting quality, and a more personal experience.

Today, those same values guide every Ravenna home we build. From spacious floor plans and luxury details to the way we stand behind our work, we remain committed to building homes and relationships the right way.

Faith Shapes the Way We Work

Faith at the Foundation

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15

Our faith is at the heart of Ravenna Homes and influences the way we lead, serve, and do business. We strive to reflect those values in every interaction, decision, and transaction by treating people with respect, keeping our word, working with integrity, and caring for the relationships entrusted to us.

That perspective shapes the way we work with homeowners, trade partners, employees, and the communities we are part of. For us, building homes is about more than completing a project. It is an opportunity to serve others well and create an experience that reflects the faith, values, and principles Ravenna Homes was built on.
