Founded by Josh Pettit, Desert West Homes builds quality homes in Northern Utah with a focus on craftsmanship, integrity, and lasting value.

Building More Than Homes

Desert West Homes was founded by Josh Pettit, a third-generation homebuilder with deep roots in the Utah construction industry. Raised in a family of builders, Josh grew up on job sites, learning firsthand the value of craftsmanship, integrity, and hard work. Inspired to carry that legacy forward, he launched Desert West Homes with a mission to create quality homes that reflect the spirit of Utah and the families who live here.

Based in Northern Utah, Desert West Homes has grown from a small, hands-on operation into a respected name in residential construction. While our projects have expanded, our values remain grounded in the same principles Josh grew up with: build with care, treat people right, and never cut corners.

We believe a home is more than just walls and a roof — it’s a foundation for your life. That’s why every Desert West home is thoughtfully designed, expertly crafted, and built to last for generations.
