Company History

Humble Beginnings

What began as just a dream 27 years ago is now a thriving reality. For Derrick, the idea of owning his own home building business began as a young boy watching his father work hard and establish trusting relationships with his friends. This is the inspiration Derrick needed to establish a business on the principles he was taught at an early age – things like integrity, trust, and hard work.

After generations of consistent quality, Trego Homes is thriving as specialists in the trade and are well respected in the local community. So much so, our sister company was founded; Trego Realty. From the moment you contact us for a quote until the moment you finalize the project, our promise is to meet your needs and raise your expectations. Contact us today to get started!

Nothing is more satisfying than a customer who loves the work we do and tells their friends.
