John Laing Homes is the second largest privately held homebuilder in the nation and consistently ranks among industry leaders in overall customer satisfaction by J.D Power & Associates. Our roots in homebuilding go back to 1848, when James Laing, John’s father, built his first home in the English countryside. The home still stands today and it is a testament to John Laing Homes’ continued commitment to be passionately focused on designing and constructing homes and neighborhoods for real people with unique tastes and desires.
