About us
Our Promise To You
A home building experience that is unmatched in
quality and customer satisfaction.
From SKETCH TO REAL LIFE
Building a new home is a big project and it can be overwhelming, and even downright awful, but it shouldn’t be. We’ve been building homes for more than three decades and our promise to you is an unmatched level of quality and customer satisfaction.
Quality and Integrity
“We are founded on principles of hard work and integrity that were passed down from our fathers and grandfathers.”
Over the years we’ve had the pleasure of building homes for and earning the trust of many clients including corporate executives, doctors, lawyers, architects, pilots, bank presidents, and even former NFL players. We were given the “Best of the Best” award in 2009, and again in 2022 by The Seneca Journal.
Hundreds of successful home-building experiences have taught us that the keys to an enjoyable and successful custom home-building experience lie within relationships and communication, not just with you, but with our vendors and subcontractors, and everyone involved in building your home.
30+ Years Of Experience!!
Without relationship, the experience will not be
enjoyed by anyone. Without communication, it will lack success.
The beautiful homes we’ve built were not the efforts of just one person, but by a team of folks
that believe if everyone simply does their job well and treats those around them with honor, the
end result will be an achievement that far exceeds what one person alone can accomplish.

Gabe Yoder
Owner/President
I have 37 years of experience in homebuilding. I grew up in the industry, then started as a laborer before starting my own business. I have always enjoyed working with my hands and building something.
My brother taught me to “Always hold your work to a high standard.”
I love bringing peoples dreams to life. A home is one of the biggest investments people make. I love being a part of transforming their investment into their dream home that we are both proud of.
I grew up in Oconee County. My wife and I are parents to 5 boys. I enjoy golf, hunting, fishing, snowskiing, and just about anything outdoors. I also love watching UFC with my boys!

Sam Peck
Project Manager
I worked my way up from an entry level building position to now managing multi-million dollar projects alongside one of the most respected builders in the upstate.
I hope to one day build my own business and be a well-known and respected builder.
While the original goal was packaging science, during my time as a student worker in Clemson University’s housing department (where I worked everything from plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and HVAC), I found myself enjoying the trades even more. I was then offered a position with Yoderbuilt, which was 10 years ago. I have since been able to continually grow in my knowledge and expertise in building custom homes.
I live in Seneca, SC with my beautiful wife and two dogs. I am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy everything from the sea to the mountains. I also enjoy cooking and rooting on the Clemson Tigers.

I specialize in the final stages of each house by wrapping up all the finishing touches, and making sure everything is on schedule for the Certificate of Occupancy.
One of the most impactful accomplishments that I have achieved was building my own house. This really helped me grasp the building process, and I learned a lot during the process.
I love seeing progress. I love building or fixing something and working with my hands to see the finished product. It brings me joy to see something beautiful and unique that I handcrafted.
I have worked in the construction industry since I was a little boy, and while I have worked for a few different builders over the past few years, Yoderbuilt is where I want to be.
Outside of work I enjoy playing basketball and being active. I am also a musician, so I love grabbing my acoustic guitar and playing old hymns.

Austin Miller
Employee
I specialize in a little bit of everything– I do whatever is needed to get the job done, from mixing concrete to finish work.
I have experience in several areas of contruction, but the most in concrete, framing, and drywall.
Although I don’t have a formal degree, I have worked in some form of construction all of my life. I worked for my dad for years doing a little bit of everything, but mostly concrete. I started working for Yoderbuilt in the spring of 2020.
I strive to bring honor to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ in all that I do. I want to be a great husband and father to my wife and two children and provide for them.
I am originally from Linn, MO, and I enjoy almost any sport, but mostly disc golf, volleyball, and basketball. I also enjoy fishing.
I love playing with my son and holding my baby girl. My wife and I are youth leaders at our church and we really enjoy serving our youth group.
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Samuel Yoder
Employee
I specialize in finalizing projects and getting houses ready for the Certificate of Occupancy.
In previous years, I worked for some of my family framing houses which is where I gained most of my construction knowledge from.
I graduated highschool in 2023, and recently joined Yoderbuilt fulltime. I’m still learning the trade, but I do look forward to learning more and achieving goals within the business.
Building is a passion of mine because it is something that I have been around since a young age. I enjoy being outside and working with my hands which is why I enjoy what I do.
Outside of work, I still enjoy the outdoors– hunting and fishing are two of my main hobbies.
