Alair Homes® Expands in Missouri with Launch of Alair Columbia

COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alair Homes^® is proud to announce the opening of Alair Columbia, led by Brad Young, founder of TigerTown Home Improvement, a respected Columbia-based construction company known for its quality work, strong client relationships, and commitment to the local community.

The launch further strengthens Alair's presence in Missouri and expands its network of independently owned custom home building and renovation businesses across North America.

"Joining Alair doesn't change who we are in Columbia. It supercharges us," said Brad Young, Partner, Alair Columbia. "Our clients will continue working with the same dedicated local team, now backed by one of North America's most respected custom home building and renovation networks."

The addition of Alair Columbia marks an important step in Alair's continued growth across Missouri and reflects the company's commitment to partnering with established local builders.

"Our expansion strategy has always been about finding the right people first and the right markets second. We're not interested in opening locations just to grow our footprint," said Mike Peters, Regional Partner for Alair Missouri. "With our established presence in Springfield, Columbia was a natural opportunity to continue growing Alair across Missouri. What really made the timing right was connecting with Brad Young and the business he had already built."

Located in one of Missouri's fastest-growing communities, Columbia offers significant opportunities for both custom home construction and large-scale renovations. Anchored by the University of Missouri, a strong healthcare sector, and established residential neighborhoods, the city continues to attract homeowners seeking high-quality building experiences and personalized living spaces. Young had built a successful company, assembled a strong team, and earned the trust of clients and industry partners throughout the Columbia market. Those qualities, combined with a shared commitment to long-term growth and leadership, made the partnership a natural fit.

"What stood out to me most was his growth mindset," Peters said. "He's constantly looking for ways to improve, challenge conventional thinking, and create more opportunities for his team. His philosophy of getting 1% better every day aligns really well with the culture we're building at Alair."

By joining Alair, the Columbia team gains access to a collaborative network of builders and business owners across North America, along with the systems, resources, and support needed to strengthen an already successful business. The addition of Alair Columbia further advances Alair's long-term vision for Missouri, creating new opportunities for collaboration, shared learning, and sustainable growth across the region.

To celebrate the launch, Alair Columbia hosted a Grand Opening event on October 22, with support from vendor partners Kohler, Ferguson Home, Andersen Window, and Sherwin Williams.

The event brought together more than 80 past clients, trade partners, neighbors, friends, and Alair colleagues from across North America.

For the Alair Columbia team, being a local builder means more than building and renovating homes. It means investing in the community where the team lives and works. As part of the grand opening, the team partnered with Columbia Second Chance, a local animal rescue organization, which brought adoptable dogs to the event and connected guests with its work in the community.
