Built on Loyalty.
Guided by Experience.
Ridgeback Homes was created to help homeowners and owner-builders make better construction decisions with honest guidance, practical planning, and clear communication.
The name comes from our Rhodesian Ridgebacks — loyal, steady, and protective dogs that have been part of our lives and many of our projects. That same spirit is what we want Ridgeback Homes to represent: loyalty to the client, honesty about the process, and practical support when construction decisions get complicated
A Personal Approach to Construction Planning
Based in Prescott, Arizona, Ridgeback Homes supports residential planning, site development, permitting, plan review, owner-builder coordination, and early project strategy.
Construction can be overwhelming, especially when homeowners are trying to understand permits, plans, budgets, site conditions, contractors, and sequencing all at once.
Ridgeback Homes was built to be different. We believe in being upfront, practical, and honest — not telling people what they want to hear just to move a project forward.
Whether you are planning a guest house, workshop, remodel, site improvement, or owner-managed build, our goal is to organize the next steps, identify risks early, and bring practical clarity before costly decisions are made.
What We Stand For
Honest Guidance
We are upfront about risks, constraints, costs, and realistic next steps.
Loyal Support
We treat each project like it matters because it does — helping protect your time, money, and peace of mind.
Practical Experience
Our guidance is grounded in real project planning, construction coordination, site work, permitting, and hands-on residential experience.
Experience Behind the Guidance
Ridgeback Homes is operated by The Ridgeback Company, LLC and led by Brent Knezacek, who brings decades of engineering, construction management, project coordination, and hands-on residential project experience.
That background helps homeowners see issues earlier, communicate more clearly with trades and consultants, compare options, and avoid surprises before construction starts.
The goal is not to overwhelm clients with technical jargon. It is to bring practical, real-world perspective to the decisions that affect cost, schedule, permitting, site work, and the final outcome.
Brent is a registered Professional Engineer in Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, and Manitoba, bringing a planning-focused and detail-oriented perspective to residential projects..
Real Projects. Real Care.
From early planning and site work to finished details, Ridgeback Homes brings practical attention to the decisions that shape a project.
