You’d be hard-pressed to find a home builder in Knoxville that rivals Turner Homes in experience and quality. With over 50 years under our belts, we bring expertise from building entire new home communities directly to those looking for a professionally designed home built right, on time, and on budget. Turner Homes specializes in building homes, not houses. We work tirelessly to achieve a unique vision and deliver truly one-of-a-kind homes. We’re a local company, and because we call East Tennessee home, we work hard to ensure that each new  home upholds the integrity we’ve established here since 1971. We’re always able to hold our heads high when we see our homeowners around town because we take pride in our work in every home.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

We pride ourselves in building homes of high-quality design and artistry, and doing so with great passion and attention to detail. Craftsmanship is something that is practiced and refined over the course of many years, and we’ve worked over 50 years to refine our craft. Houses are built by hand; it takes a true mastery of craftsmanship to build a dream home.

DESIGN

Design is the purpose, planning, and intention behind a home. Thoughtful design is the difference between a house and a home. Beauty and functionality must both be present and work together to create a space that will thrive. Collaborate with our team of skilled interior designers to choose the finishing touches for your future home.

INTEGRITY

We hold ourselves to a high standard of honesty and integrity. We strive to always do the right thing by our clients, even if that means taking more time and effort to do things the right way. We use communication as a tool to be transparent and collaborate with clients along the entire homebuilding process.

Our Story

Founded in 1971, Turner Homes is one of East Tennessee's most established home builders, constructing quality new homes across the Knoxville and Chattanooga metropolitan areas. With over 100 years of combined team experience, Turner Homes has earned a reputation for quality craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and an attentive design process that puts homebuyers in control. The company operates from offices in West Knoxville and Ooltewah, managing active communities across East Tennessee with 30+ floor plans ranging from designer townhomes to premium single-family estates.

Turner Homes is the home building arm of Turner Companies — a connected family of six specialized businesses built on more than 55 years of experience. Whether you're building, buying, renting, or investing, Turner Companies links every step of the journey home: development with Clouds Rest Development, construction with Turner Homes, buying or renting with Woody Creek Realty, financing with Home Front Mortgage, closing with Fortress Title Group, and investing with Fortress Capital. For homebuyers, that means a coordinated, flexible experience — from the first tour to the closing table — with the customer at the center.
