With 15 years of experience in construction, Riley Hayes can build your dream home through your vision, on budget, and within your timeline. Riley has constructed homes, resorts, condos, and apartments, throughout the United States and Mexico, was a partner and leader with a local statewide home builder, and is now the founder and owner of WELBuilt Homes. Inspired by the work of Brené Brown, Riley is a true believer in trying to change for the better, learning from one's mistakes, and persevering. He carries this belief and passion into his business as a new home builder to ensure all of his clients are satisfied. Riley is a father of two daughters and loves running and biking.
Linda is a self-starter who strives for excellence. That's how she continues to deliver when working with a client. Of Icelandic/German descent, Linda moved to Bend in 1994. That same year, she started her own construction cleaning business, Let's Construction Cleaning Services Inc. Beginning in an old VW, her company became the finest in the area. After selling her business in 2018, Linda took a year off to travel and visit family. We're lucky to have her with us now. When she isn’t in the office, you may see Linda rooting for the Oregon Ducks. She continues to hustle, work hard, and deliver for all of her clients.

ramps. Jesse has over 20 years of experience with the finish side of
construction and operated a local painting company here in Central Oregon
for almost 10 years. A long friendship with Riley and a strong passion for

products and best practices to ensure that your project is completed with
the attention it deserves. He thinks building a house should be a fun and
exciting process working together to create a finished product that brings a
smile to your face every time you come home.
If you need him over the weekend, you will probably find him farming,
running dogs at the river, camping, and riding dirt bikes. Good friends and
good food.
