Built on integrity, quality, and determination, Coyle Custom Homes brings luxury residences to neighborhoods across Northeastern Oklahoma. Company President and founder, Nathan Coyle, began building the business during his college days. A dedicated worker from day one, Nathan gained experience by working in a local building supply store, before striking out on his own.

“ While attending college at Oklahoma State University, I obtained a job at a local building supply company called Hometown Building Supply. The shop was in Sperry, Oklahoma, and I worked directly for the owner, Buel Anglen,” Nathan begins.
“ For my first year with the company, I was nothing more than a lumber puller and a delivery driver. As time went by, my roles increased. I soon started managing lumber take offs and pricing for new home builds with numerous different builders. In my last couple of years of college, Buel entrusted me to manage the store while he and his family would take off on the weekends.”
With the support of his parents, Nathan went on to spend his early adulthood establishing Coyle Custom Homes from the ground up. He continues:“ After graduating from Oklahoma State, I obtained a corporate job in Oklahoma City and bought my first‘ Project Home’ in Mustang.
“ It was a total of 950 square feet, and needed a lot of renovations, which I tackled on nights and weekends. My dad, Jim Coyle, would drive two hours each way to help me with the tile work and various other things. Together, we made the home look like new again.
“ I lived there for two years and then sold the home, using the profits to pay in cash for a plot of land. In 2004, at the age of 26, I began my first home build. It consisted of a 1707-square-foot, full brick home. Again, my mom and dad would make the drive and help whenever they could.
