Ask anyone at McCaffrey Homes what the company does, and you probably won’t hear, “we build homes.” At McCaffrey Homes, homebuilding is our passion. We realize we are a builder of families’ dreams. It is with this family orientation that we have built thousands of homes – each one created with the knowledge that it will be the foundation for your family’s life, memories and dreams. And that’s the legacy we continue to deliver on.
A Legacy Three Generations in the Making
When a home is built by a family, not just a company, you can feel the difference. McCaffrey Homes started in the heart of the Central Valley with a small team, big dreams, and a deep respect for the families they served. It is with this family orientation that McCaffrey Homes has built thousands of homes - each one created with the knowledge that it will be the foundation for your family’s life, memories, and dreams.

Karen grew up in the industry; her father, John Bonadelle, was a local home-building pioneer. So it was only natural that when Karen married Robert McCaffrey nearly 50 years ago, they started their own home-building company, which has grown into a legacy now led by their third-generation descendants, Brent McCaffrey and Ash Knowlton, their son and son-in-law.
Through the decades, their vision has stayed steady: to build homes of lasting quality in communities that feel like home. So many buyers return for their second or even third McCaffrey home because the values behind the quality homes we build haven’t changed.
Homes Built to Reflect Your Next Chapter
Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, relocating, or simply ready for something new, your next home should match the life you’re building. McCaffrey Homes builds well-crafted, energy-efficient homes with smart features and timeless style. But more than that, they’re built to feel personal.
At the McCaffrey Design Center, you’ll choose the finishes, colors, and upgrades that bring your dream to life. From cabinets to countertops, every detail can be personalized to reflect your taste and lifestyle. And you won’t have to make those decisions alone. Our expert Design Consultant is eager to inspire your creativity and guide you on the combinations that make sense, feel cohesive, and fit your style, personal tastes, and budget.
Award-Winning Service, Trusted by the Central Valley
When nearly half of your sales come from referrals, it says something. McCaffrey Homes is proud to be one of the nation’s most referred homebuilders, with 48% of buyers coming from word of mouth. With over 10,000 homes built across Fresno, Clovis, and Madera, their reputation runs deep, and the awards and recognition received reflect that. From being named Best Homebuilder five times by CVLUX to earning national honors for Tesoro Viejo, McCaffrey’s commitment to excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed. Bob and Karen McCaffrey were inducted into the California Homebuilding Foundation Hall of Fame in recognition of their pioneering spirit in homebuilding and their significant impact on the industry and community they have served.

But it’s not about the accolades. It’s about trust. Just ask the homeowners who’ve shared their testimonials. When you’re building dreams, nothing matters more than delivering on them.
