Homes Built with Love
It's not just a tagline – it's how we do business.
San Joaquin Valley Homes
What Makes Us Different
Every person on our team, every trade partner on your home, lives in the Central Valley. But we’re no “mom and pop” shop: 5,000+ homes closed. 95 local trade partners. The number one builder by permits in Tulare and Kings Counties. Those are numbers you can trust.
Everyone on our team is local to the Valley
Every employee and trade partner on your home lives in the Valley. They’re your neighbors before you even move in.
You choose a home that feels like yours
Our Design Center gives you real choices – cabinetry, flooring, countertops, exterior finishes. Semi-custom feel at a better price.
Someone is always there to talk to
Our sales offices are staffed daily. No appointment needed. Walk in any time. We’d love to hear your story.
We Stand Out From the "Big Box" Builders
San Joaquin Valley Homes was founded in Visalia in 2013 by Joe Leal and Randy Merrill – two people who grew up here and built their lives here. Every home we build is in a community we care about – because we live in these same neighborhoods, send our kids to these same schools, and drive these same roads.
That’s a different kind of accountability than a national builder managing the Valley from a satellite office. When something needs attention, the people responsible are 20 minutes away.
We treat you like a neighbor, not a number.
Come See for Yourself
The best way to know if SJV is the right fit is to walk a model home. No appointment needed. Our sales offices are open daily across the Valley — Visalia, Tulare, Porterville, Sanger, Hanford, and beyond.
Come in, ask questions, see the homes in person. There’s no pressure and no pitch. Just people who know the Valley and want to help you find the right home in it.
