JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1992, Providence Homes, now Jacksonville's leader in energy-efficient construction, sold one home for $69,000 in its founding year.

Three decades later, Providence Homes is celebrating a milestone anniversary as one of Northeast Florida's premier home builders with myriad industry awards and nearly 4,000 homes built in the Jacksonville area.

"When Bill Cellar first became a builder, he did so with a personal pledge to make a difference in the industry," said President and COO Sean Junker. "He created Providence Homes with a commitment to building beautifully designed homes at affordable prices, and to building every home with the same attention to detail and reliability he would with his own home."

• 5-time Energy Star Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award (2017 - 2021)

• Built 2006 & 2017 Homes from the Heart - Northeast Florida Builders Association Builders Care

"To be where we are after 30 years is a testament to the dedication of the team here that never lost sight of the importance of building quality homes," said Junker. "It's an honor that so many families have trusted us to build their homes and be a part of their lives."

In celebration of 30 years, Providence Homes is building homes for 131 families in El Salvador in partnership with New Story Charity and as part of the Homes for Hope project they are donating more than $150k to Hope International for micro-loans in developing nations.

"On behalf of our entire team," Junker said, "we would like to say thank you to all of our employees, trade partners, customers and Realtors for all they have done in helping us achieve this amazing milestone. We look forward to many more years of working together and remain committed to the community we love and call home."
