WHAT IS A SHELL PACKAGE? (... and most people don’t even know this is an option ... ) 👇
A Shell Package means we build your home to the point that it is:
✔️ Fully framed
✔️ Windows + exterior doors installed
✔️ Roof complete
✔️ Wrapped + sealed
✔️ Air tight + lockable
AND we handle:
• Foundation (crawlspace, slab, or basement)
• All interior concrete (garage floor, basement floor, porch caps)
• Structural engineering
• Custom floor plan design
You get Drake Homes quality, brains, and ingenuity, but you can finish the interior yourself.
For the right family?
It’s a serious money saver.
DIY-ers… this is your dream.
#DrakeHomes #BuildSmart #ShellPackage
After 46 years of building dream homes for their customers, today we celebrate the completion of the home they have built for themselves. Seeing their own vision come to life feels like the perfect reward for a lifetime of hard work. There is no one more deserving. We love you both so much, Mom and Dad. Here’s to your incredible dedication and this well earned joy.
Stay tuned for the FULL TOUR
When the lake day winds down… this is where everyone will hang!
Here’s what you’re seeing: custom cabinetry, built-in beverage fridge, moody black backsplash, AND sliding doors that open straight to the outdoors.
This lake house basement bar was designed for entertaining year-round! Looking forward to summer nights, fall football, winter weekends.
Function meets atmosphere. Always.

Breaking ground on something bigger than a building.
Steve & Mary Drake and family at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thomas W. Suey Student Center at Christ Tabernacle Church in Herrick, IL.
This student center will be ready for the upcoming academic year, and it represents more than brick and mortar. It’s an investment in faith, education, and the next generation.
We are honored to be part of something that will impact students for years to come. 🤍
