Rooted in St. Thomas, Ont., Doug Tarry Homes has been shaping communities with care and intention since 1954. Founded by Doug Tarry Sr., the company has grown through generations with a clear purpose: To build thoughtfully and leave a positive impact wherever they work. That belief, inspired by lessons Doug Sr. shared during family canoe trips, continues to guide everything the team does today.

Unique needs and visions

At Doug Tarry Homes, the company understands that every homeowner has unique needs and visions for their living space. That’s why the builder offers a diverse range of floorplans, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Each of these options is nestled within award-winning communities, offering not just a house, but a lifestyle supported by community spirit.

With an ever-growing emphasis on sustainability, Doug Tarry Homes proudly presents homes that are not only aesthetically stunning but also environmentally conscious.

Choosing St. Thomas as your home means embracing a lifestyle rich in amenities and natural beauty. This vibrant city, known as the “Railway Capital of Canada,” offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern conveniences. Residents enjoy a variety of parks, cultural events and a close-knit community spirit, making it an ideal place for families and individuals alike.
