Quail Homes

What Quail Homes does

Quail Homes is a privately held custom home builder founded in 1989 in Vancouver, Washington, specializing in single-level homes designed for empty nesters, multi-generational families, and active adults in Southwest Washington. The company operates through two primary channels: (1) building on lots in its four owned communities — Quail Ridge and Quail Landing in Ridgefield, WA; Riverview in Washougal, WA; and Riverwalk in Woodland, WA — and (2) a Build On Your Lot (BOYL) program representing approximately one-third of business, which supports custom builds on client-owned land in subdivisions or acreage. The company is owner-operated by founder Jon Girod, with a lean core team of approximately 9-10 staff including CFO Jeremy Girod, construction management, in-house interior design (Nicole Knight), warranty management, and operations.

The technical foundation of Quail's product is built on Universal Design principles and energy-efficient construction standards. Standard inclusions in every home comprise no-step entries, 3'-0" doorways, wide hallways, roll-in showers, and grab bars for aging-in-place; solar panel integration; staggered stud framing and raised heel trusses for insulation; 16" on-center joists with 7/8" decking and glue-and-screw subfloor installation for structural quietness; and advanced air quality systems aligned with EPS Zero Energy Ready Home and EPA Indoor Air Plus program concepts. Many floor plans also offer built-in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) with independent HVAC, electrical, and full living quarters to support multi-generational living or rental use. The product line includes a curated floor plan library developed in partnership with Mascord Home Designs (Americano, Breve, Café, Vienna, and other series), premium partner-supplied components (Milgard windows, Sherwin-Williams paint, Northwood Cabinets, Cascade Flooring America), and in-house design selection services.

Quail Homes' business model is a sales-led, one-time custom home sale with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing that varies by floor plan, lot, and finish selections. Revenue mechanics are driven by custom home construction (one-time license-equivalent transactions) and bundled design/selection professional services. GTM relies on a model home experience in Vancouver, WA, community sales offices, BOYL direct engagement, a multi-channel digital presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Houzz), and a referral network reinforced by 19-year average trade partner relationships and 35 years of brand equity in a tightly defined Southwest Washington market.
