Our History
The story of Forefather Homes is deeply rooted in the legacy of its founder, Trey Harris, and the generations before him. Since the 1960s, our family has played a significant role in shaping the construction industry across the southern United States.
It all began with Trey’s great-grandfather, who hand-built his own home in the 1960s—a structure that still stands strong today. This dedication to craftsmanship continued with his grandfathers, who worked as general contractors, purchasing agents, masons, and roofers in both residential and commercial construction. The tradition carried on with his father’s generation, mastering trades such as carpentry, upholstery, and tile work.
With a lineage rich in construction expertise, it was only natural for Forefather Homes to be born. Today, the company honors its heritage by blending time-tested craftsmanship with modern innovation, building homes that stand as a testament to quality, integrity, and family tradition.
