In 1946, Joseph C. McBride founded McBride Homes with a mission to provide affordable new construction homes for returning World War II G.I.s. Starting with a loan for tools, McBride built his first home in North St. Louis County. The company experienced steady growth under Joseph McBride's philosophy that a builder is only as good as their last house. Through meticulous site selection, plat mapping, architectural design, and skilled craftspeople, quality construction became the hallmark of every McBride Home. Today, McBride Homes remains committed to excellent service and superior craftsmanship, building high-quality new construction homes that exceed expectations in design, quality, value, and customer service. As the top St. Louis home builder and largest in Missouri for over 25 years, McBride Homes has constructed over 40,000 homes across the metro area, holding the largest market share in a top market. With 80 years of homebuilding experience, their mission is to continue offering diverse new construction homes and products, ensuring quality craftsmanship, affordability, and prime locations in the St. Louis metro area.
