Building Dreams Since 1983

When Steve Drake founded Drake Homes in 1983, it all began in a small office and warehouse behind his home—just one salesman, one office manager, an office dog, and an old Ford dump truck. From those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a leader in home and commercial construction across Central Illinois.

For over 40 years, Drake Homes & Commercial Builders has been turning dreams into reality. Whether crafting custom homes that reflect your lifestyle or commercial buildings tailored to your business needs, we combine cutting-edge design technology with a commitment to craftsmanship and quality.What began as a family business has grown into a trusted team of skilled workers and craftsmen who share our vision for creating spaces that are both beautiful and built to last. Guided by core principles, we ensure every project reflects our dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction.
