45+ Years Combined Experience
Years working together on projects.
A construction company built on experience, trust, and attention to detail.
APTEN Builds was founded by Allen Hawk and Pat Patterson, two builders who bring practical field experience, construction knowledge, and a hands-on approach to every project. Their background includes custom homes, remodels, rental property improvements, hurricane relief work, drywall, carpentry, site preparation, and full project execution.
Allen and Pat have worked together on projects for more than 15 years. That long working relationship matters. It means APTEN Builds is not a loose group of subcontractors trying to figure things out as they go. It is a team built on real trust, shared standards, and the kind of communication that helps projects move forward the right way.
Homeowners do not just need someone who can swing a hammer. They need someone who understands the full picture: planning, materials, schedule, budget, details, finish quality, and how the project will affect the home long after the work is complete.
Decades of hands-on building experience.
APTEN Builds is led by people who understand construction from the ground up. That experience helps homeowners get a better process, better communication, and a finished project built with care.
