When you build with Drake Homes, you don’t just get a house, you get a TEAM that works relentlessly on your behalf.
From design decisions to jobsite oversight, we fight for quality, clarity, and results. Your home matters to us, and we treat it that way every single day.
Build your forever home with a family that's been in business for over 45 years. Call Drake Homes at 217-345-6302 or visit our website to get started: www.drakehomes.com.
Do you build in the quad cities Illinois?
We know building a home is one of the biggest investments, emotionally and financially, that a family will make.
That’s why we show up.
That’s why we double-check.
That’s why we care so deeply about getting it right.
We work hard because this isn’t just a project. It’s your future.

After years of building homes across Central Illinois, we’ve learned one thing: The best builds start with education. 🌟
That’s why we created our Home Builder’s Guide — to share what we know, explain the process clearly, and help families feel confident before they build.
Whether you’re building now or just dreaming, this is a must-read.

Who knew there was a National Motivation & Inspiration Day? We didn’t ... but we do now.
Here’s something worth feeling inspired by:
Our job isn’t easy, and we don’t expect it to be. We work long days, stay in constant communication, and make countless decisions behind the scenes, all so our clients can move into homes they’re truly proud of.
That’s the Drake Homes difference.
Design matters — and experience matters even more.
Our Drake Homes design team brings decades of real-world knowledge to every project:
• Brooke — over 20 years in the industry
• Avery — raised in the business, with 15 years of hands-on experience
• Mary — born and raised into the world of building & design (and we’ll keep her exact years a secret 😉)
This experience is built into every home we create — and it’s included.
Fantastic photos.
Love this Mary!!!
Brooke, Avery, and Mary were all extremely helpful with our design decision making! We highly recommend!
Such a great family and Drake Homes.
Anyone can build a house. We design homes with intention.
At Drake Homes, every floor plan is thoughtfully planned to balance:
• Function
• Flow
• Comfort
• Long-term value
Because efficiency isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about designing smarter from the start.
Drake Homes | Built with purpose.

From floor plans to finishes, every Drake Homes client works directly with our in-house interior decorators. They`ll help by guiding you through layouts, selections, and details so your home feels intentional, cohesive, and you.
No guessing. No overwhelm. No surprise design fees.
Adam & Chris love playing with their new toys. Want to see how cold they got yesterday? Watch their “Day in the Life”. 😂 New house just North of Charleston.
Masterpieces don`t come together overnight. If you`re considering giving your family the best gift of all: a FOREVER HOME, let`s start talking now.
To set up a call or in-person, message us or call 217-345-6302.

At Drake Homes, we advocate for our clients every step of the way:
✔️ Managing details
✔️ Solving problems before they become issues
✔️ Protecting your budget, timeline, and vision
We work hard so you can feel confident and ZERO stress through the build process.
