VISALIA, Calif. – July 31, 2023 – San Joaquin Valley Homes (SJV Homes) announces its 10th anniversary as a local home builder, marking a decade of commitment to the community and dedication to providing exceptional homes to Valley residents.

 

Founded in 2013 by industry veterans Joe Leal, Jim Robinson and Randy Merrill, the company has flourished over the years, earning a reputation for superior craftsmanship and unwavering customer service. The founders celebrated on Friday by recognizing their team of professionals, which has grown from less than 10 in the beginning to 85 strong today.

 

"As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are immensely proud of the journey we've undertaken,” said Leal. “Our employees’ unwavering dedication and hard work have been the driving force behind our success. Their commitment to excellence continues to propel San Joaquin Valley Homes to new heights."

Last year, the company was selected as a “2022 Builder of Choice,” which recognizes builders who have developed strong, lasting partnerships with suppliers and contractors in their local markets.  

“Our steady growth over the past decade relies on our relationships with business partners, local officials and homebuyers who trust a local builder,” said Robinson. “We have always been committed to providing much-needed affordable housing in the Valley while generating hundreds of local jobs.”


 San Joaquin Valley Homes understand the importance of creating lasting relationships with its customers. The company's commitment to homebuyers begins from the very first handshake and extends well beyond the moment the keys are handed over, earning the loyalty of its customers one home at a time.


"Our success is built on a foundation of trust, and we are honored that our customers have chosen us to build a home for their family," said Merrill. “We are dedicated to being the best at what we do, and we take great pride in building quality homes and neighborhoods that families can cherish for generations. We will be here to support our customers for many years after they've moved in."
