Doug Tarry Homes building quality homes in connected communities since 1954
December 12, 2025
Doug Tarry Homes has been a proud part of the St. Thomas story since 1954, building quality homes with care, craftsmanship and a forward-thinking approach. What began with Doug Tarry Sr. and his simple belief in “leaving every campsite better than you found it” has grown into a legacy that continues to guide everything we do today.
At Doug Tarry Homes, the company believes a home should reflect the people who live in it. That’s why it offers a wide range of thoughtfully designed floorplans to suit every lifestyle, from first-time buyers and growing families to those looking to downsize. Whether you’re drawn to a cosy bungalow, a modern townhome or a spacious two-storey, each home is built with intention and designed to bring people together in welcoming, connected communities.
Beautiful design and quality craftsmanship
Doug Tarry Homes’ focus goes beyond beautiful design and quality craftsmanship. The company is deeply committed to sustainability and to building homes that are as responsible as they are comfortable. Every Doug Tarry Home is Energy Star certified and Net Zero Ready, designed to use less energy, provide cleaner air and create a healthier living environment for years to come.
So, what does Net Zero really mean? It’s about building a home that can produce as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year, depending on how it’s lived in. When designing Net Zero Homes, Doug Tarry Homes’ goal was to stay a decade ahead of current building standards while keeping the systems simple. Meaning no complicated technology, just efficient design that works seamlessly behind the scenes.
Quick Possession Homes
Every home the company builds is held to the same high standard, whether it’s a single-family home, semi-detached, townhome or one of its Quick Possession Homes. Quick Possession Homes are the perfect choice for those who want Doug Tarry quality without the wait. They are thoughtfully designed, expertly finished and move-in ready. When you choose a Doug Tarry Home, you can trust that quality, performance and comfort come standard, no matter which home you select.
Owning a Doug Tarry Home offers lasting benefits such as lower utility bills, greater comfort, better air quality and peace of mind knowing your home is built to stand the test of time. These homes are quieter, more consistent in temperature and more durable, offering fewer maintenance costs and protection against rising energy prices.
