Deer Ridge Homes was established in the 1990s when Brien and Verna decided to share their passion for home building with the community of Olds. Through years of dedication, they gained recognition as a reputable builder, creating beautiful spaces for families.

Fast forward to 2023, their sons, Rich and steve, made the decision to revive the family legacy laid down by their parents. After years of refining their services and actively engaging with the community, they have reignited their passion for building, a love instilled in them at a young age. Deer Ridge Homes is thrilled to once again serve communities in central Alberta.
