The story of Padilla Homes begins like many successful stories, with an explosion. In 1986, 73 seconds after takeoff, the U.S Challenger exploded in the skies of Florida, shocking the nation. A young Padilla, an El Paso native and U.S. veteran, was sitting on the couch with his baby on his knee. Upon seeing the tragic event—perhaps inspired by mankind’s capacity for greatness, or impacted by the dangerous drive for exploration, or moved by the sacrifice of the Challenger seven— Padilla realized that it was time; he had had enough, and it was the moment to do something big.
Padilla began working for then El Paso construction mogul George Thomas. After a few years in the construction industry, Padilla went off on his own and began his own home construction company, which focused primarily on semi-custom homes. Since then, the company has brought other family members on board, including Vice President Misael Navarrete, a former missile engineer, who has brought his respective expertise and backgrounds. They have all infused Padilla Homes into the most cutting-edge, innovative, responsive, and successful home builder in the El Paso area.
About the Padilla Team
Here at Padilla homes, we are a family. Everybody works together to achieve the same common goal and that is to make beautiful homes for you. From the architects to engineers, to interior designers, foreman, and construction contractors, we all abide by the same principles: a dedication to quality and integrity.
Padilla Homes Stands Out Among the Rest
There is no shortage of homebuilders in the area, so what makes Padilla Homes different? We have worked tirelessly to build the company we have today. Since the company was founded, we have operated under the guiding principles of providing quality and complete transparency to our clients. All of our homes are built with the same attention to detail, caution, and craftsmanship.
We are the only custom home builder in the region that utilizes modern technology and the latest industry developments to enhance the building process, construction, and the final result. Thanks to our specialized software, we can build a 3D model of your home before we even start constructing. This allows you to see the details in full scope and get a real sense of what your home will look like before the first shovel hits the ground. We have an in-house interior designer who can provide you with professional advice. Moreover, we only employ qualified roofers and construction contractors to ensure the structural longevity and integrity of your home.
