50 Years of Enhancing
Lives through
Home
From our first foundation in 1976 to today's award-winning designs,
we've helped thousands of families find more than a house - we've helped them come home.
David Weekley launched his company from a small Houston office with a belief that homes should be designed around the families who live in them. With close attention to design, craftsmanship and Customer care, he began building homes thoughtfully.
While others relied on standard plans, we designed homes around how families live and gave Homeowners more choice along the way. It was a radical idea then and is now an industry norm.
As the company grew, David pledged to donate half his profits to charity. What began as a personal commitment became a core part of who we are and helped set a new standard for giving in homebuilding. We do this to support the communities where we live and build.
With the support of our Homeowners, we made history by winning the first Triple Crown of Homebuilding, recognizing excellence in design, quality and Customer satisfaction. That momentum fueled our expansion into new markets, allowing us to bring our award-winning homes to even more families.
As energy efficiency became more important, we introduced EnergySaver™, our approach to building homes through thoughtful design and construction practices that help reduce energy use. That commitment to innovation and service earned David Weekley Homes recognition as a J.D. Power Customer Service Champion and one of the 50 highest-performing U.S. companies for Customer experience.
Living out Our Purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives, we expanded our impact during the decade. The launch of our CARE outreach program and the introduction of Encore by David Weekley Homes, our 55+ lifestyle communities, reflected new ways to serve Homeowners and communities.
During this decade, we closed on our 100,000th home, a milestone made possible by the trust Homeowners have placed in us over time. As technology continues to evolve, we use it to make the homebuying journey easier and more convenient, while keeping personal connection at the heart of everything we do.
As we mark 50 years, we are grateful for the families who have trusted us to build their homes. From a humble start to serving families across the country, Our Purpose remains unchanged. We look ahead to the next chapter, together!
