“When we began Christopher Alan Homes in 2017, we aimed to build a well-constructed home in a desirable location at an attainable price with the best customer service from sales contract to move-in day,” Christopher Alan Homes President and CEO Ian Schmoyer says in the release. “We’ve done exactly that. Our customers come first. They always will. We’re thrilled at the overwhelming success of Christopher Alan Homes in 2021 and look forward to exciting new business announcements in 2022 as CAH grows into new markets and communities.”

Christopher Alan Homes has its origins in another company, JHS Builders, which constructed house shells. In 2017, executives said the firm’s leadership started thinking about taking the process through to the completion of a house. The leadership of JHS formed Christopher Alan Homes.
